About

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.

Rules

  1. All posts must contain religious cringe. All posts must be made from a religious person or must be showcasing some kind of religious bigotry. The only exception to this is rule 2

  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

  4. No Proselytizing. Proselytizing is defined as trying to convert someone to a particular religion or certain world view. Doing so will get you banned.

  5. Spammers and Trolls will be instantly banned. No exceptions.

I am a godless atheist, however, in fairness, Jesus probably was a real person.

They would have pronounced their name Yehoshua, or Yeshua as a nickname. Yep, thats right, Joshua is a closer English transliteration than Jesus, Jesus is what happens after you go from Aramaic to Greek to Latin to English.

Obviously their life was highly exaggerated.

Anyway, yep, this is obviously blasphemy to any non nutcase Christian, problem is, this is aimed at the surprisingly large number of MAGA Christian prophets that believe God literally talks to them, that demon possession is literally real, that they can prophesy and do faith healings, Trump is a kind of new Messiah who is just shy of being as important as Jesus, etc.

That is the target demo.
