This is the official Lemmy for the r/ReligiousCringe***** subreddit. This is a community about poking fun at the religious fundamentalist's who take their religion a little bit too far. Here you will find religious content that is so outrageous and so cringeworthy that even someone who is mildly religious will cringe.

  2. Material about religious bigots made by non-bigots is only allowed from Friday-Sunday EST. In an effort to keep this community on the topic of religious cringe and bigotry we have decide to limit stuff like atheist memes to only the weekends.

  3. No direct links to religious cringe. To prevent religious bigots from getting our clicks and views directs links to religious cringe are not allowed. If you must a post a screenshot of the site or use archive.ph. If it is a YouTube video please use a YouTube frontend like Piped or Invidious

Oh yes, I totally believe that they were really going to donate $7600, yep. And now they're definitely going to give $7600 to St. Jude's. Yeah right. I'll bet they've never given a dime to anyone and don't leave tips either.

[–] livus@kbin.social 24 points 1 year ago

Yeah I heard the Ron Howard narrator voice in my head saying "...he wasn't".

[–] exocrinous@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In my country, saying "I bet they don't leave tips" is a compliment and "I bet they leave tips" is an insult.

[–] leadore@kbin.social 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I bet you don't leave tips. :)

People downvoted you for living in a society. People downvoted you for existing.

[–] Artyom@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago

They leave those fake $100 bills with Jesus quotes, which are as good as the real thing!

[–] Gorram_Reavers@lemmy.world 97 points 1 year ago

The turd that posted that likely had a mommy and daddy and look how they turned out. A poster child against opposite sex parenting.

[–] NatakuNox@lemmy.world 87 points 1 year ago

They weren't going to donate shit. They just saw an opportunity to try to shit on someone else, and fabricated a lie.

[–] GreenPlasticSushiGrass@kbin.social 58 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You can do what you want with your own money, but it costs nothing to keep your bigoted opinions to yourself. Also, the quotes around "hateful" trigger me a bit. It wasn't "hateful", it was straight-up hateful.

I used to not understand the concept of opportunity costs but now I'm beginning to believe that there is such a thing even when spouting disgusting, obnoxious, dogshit opinions. Like, some people in the world are losing out if they don't take an opportunity to slander and disparage someone else.

They're lower than dirt.

The most fake, hypocritical, entitled mother fuckers I have ever met have all been extremely religious.

Fuck religion.

[–] exocrinous@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Were they all Christians, or were they of a variety of faiths?

[–] JackGreenEarth@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't know about them, but I've seen plenty of Jews like this.

[–] exocrinous@startrek.website 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well, that's two religions, which are both part of the same family and are even arguably the same religion. That data doesn't tell us anything about Shintos, Haudenosaunee, Sihks, Maori, Hellenists, Aztecs, realists, pantheists, Buddhists, Celts, or any number of other religions I could name.

The problem is that people go their whole lives where the only religious people they interact with are Abrahamists, so they think Abrahamism is representative of all religions. But that's an extraordinarily sheltered viewpoint, and no good has ever come of dismissing foreign cultures out of hand with no relevant data.

Could you imagine being all powerful and creating same-sex attraction (or at least allowing it to be possible), but being so butthurt by it that you have to give babies cancer?

[–] BigMacHole@lemm.ee 32 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We need to PROTECT BABIES!

Says the divorcee who spent all of their child's formative years trying to block the father from having custody.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No hate like Christian love.

[–] ExcessivelyNoisy@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

Yes, that is the title

[–] Dagamant@lemmy.world 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I doubt they were going to donate, just an asshole who felt like being an asshole.

Interesting stuff in Matthew. If every Christian lived as if the book actually mattered, the world would be a much nicer place.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, I get that this is basically the last standing GOP policy, but to read those verses correctly, you have to remember that "to suffer" is another way to say "to put up with," and he's talking to his disciples, not the children. He's just saying "Hey! Teachers! Leave them kids alone!"

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm well aware. I'm making the joke that they think they should be making kids suffer.

[–] HarkMahlberg@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

I gotcha. :)

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

It doesn't mean "to put up with", it means "to allow".

[–] Pandantic@midwest.social 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master

To think of all the churchgoing slave owners with Jesus “literally” saying this.

[–] OpenStars@startrek.website 6 points 1 year ago

That is why they selectively read from passages - both amongst themselves (ignoring the parts where they were commanded to help others) and those they had read aloud to their slaves (there is where they read all those other passages!).

Picking and choosing whatever people would like to believe - e.g. "God wants me to be RICH!" - is a very lucrative business model for pastors/priests/ministers. And quite a comfortable one for the believer too. None of those pesky "commands" like how the worker deserves his wages.

It is exactly like how on January 6 the self-styled "patriots" rose up to "defend" American democracy. Jesus / God's message - Love One Another - is fantastic, too bad the religion part gets in the way of it.

[–] Blaster_M@lemmy.world 10 points 1 year ago

If they didn't want to donate, they could have said nothing. This is the worst sounding rejection.

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 year ago

i dont usually get mad at these but this one achieved it.

[–] Th4tGuyII@kbin.social 7 points 1 year ago

Ah, but at least they sent their prayers - that'll make everything better /s

Seriously though, how can people live with such vitrol in their hearts towards people who've done literally nothing to hurt them.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Bigots call themselves lots of benevolent things. They're still just bigots.

[–] Masterblaster420@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

be a shame if somebody found out who they were and beat the shit out of them.

[–] orphiebaby@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

That is so anti-New Testament that it hurts. People like this can go straight to hell. Atheists are fine, but this asshole goes to hell.
