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.

Yeah, we need to stop respecting the "pastor" title. It's so often self-granted and there are no qualifications or prerequisites. Anyone can call themselves a religious leader.

pastor has meant con artist for me since i developed reason

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

They're professional liars. Which is probably why they like politicians so much

A bit funny that in spanish pastor is also how you call a shepherd.

[–] zout@fedia.io 18 points 3 months ago

This is the original meaning, like in "the Lord is my Shepherd." I always asked if that would make me a sheep.

[–] AmidFuror@fedia.io 13 points 3 months ago

From Wikipedia:

The word "pastor" derives from the Latin noun pastor which means "shepherd" and is derived from the verb pascere – "to lead to pasture, set to grazing, cause to eat".

This is a really good point, and Pastor Weirdfish has a nice ring to it.

From now on I'll start all declarative statements "As a religious leader...."

I'm the pastor of baked potatoes, and the first commandment is to give them all to me.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 3 months ago

Excuse me, I'm a pastor of internet bullshit. You're right on.

When he says obedient to god he means obedient to men who think they are.

A Christian should not be voting at all. Their alliegance is with God, not the world.

[–] blaue_Fledermaus@mstdn.io 9 points 3 months ago

And God's allegiance is with the weak. Christians can engage politically, but as in all things it should be an act of love, for the weak, for the poor, for the needy, for the "lesser".

But things like "Christian Nationalist" is a painfully absurd oxymoron.

Where's the link to revoking the tax exempt status of this church?

https://www.irs.gov/charities-non-profits/irs-complaint-process-tax-exempt-organizations

It's there, and you can email it to the IRS.

[–] CosmicTurtle0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 9 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I looked into him. He's not a pastor anymore and doesn't have any leadership role at any church. He does have a Christian business but I couldn't look up if it's a registered 501c3 but they have a patreon.

[–] Varyk@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago

Good to know, thanks.

How could you think that the Christian god of the bible would consider Trump worthy of anything but the deepest pit of hell?

[–] orbitz@lemmy.ca 6 points 3 months ago

That's simple, you take a dash of hypocrisy, a gallon of ignorance in your religion and top it off with just enough cognitive dissonance so you don't bleed out your ears when you think about it...blam one Christian fascist ready to go.

[–] dylanmorgan@slrpnk.net 14 points 3 months ago

Man, it seems like this guy wants his church’s tax exempt status removed.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

I am calling out to all devout christian republicans out there, it is completely OK if you don't want to vote.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Who do you think Jesus would vote for?

[–] ech@lemm.ee 18 points 3 months ago

Duh, he wasn't a US citizen.

So weird, I thought Christian fascists loved all fellow zionist fascists like Kamala, Biden, and Trump?

My Dean Browning senses are tingling.
