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.

Allow?

Like how they stopped Elvis from shaking his hips or how they stopped DnD?

Whoever did that girls makeup should be nailed to a cross.

I think it's intentional.

The goal of everything isn't to be "objectively good", that would be a world of boring art. I feel like an English teacher now.

"So, what message do you think the artist is attempting to convey with the makeup style? Perhaps look to hints elsewhere in the photo.".

Sometimes the curtains are just blue.

Sometimes the makeup is just bad.

Using this argument to dismiss any analysis of art or media is pretty fucking boring though.

No doubt the curtains are just blue but part of the fun is theorizing other things the blue curtains could mean

There is nothing wrong with seeing the world that way.

Thinking about things and sharing ideas is just fun. But to your defense, there is nothing wrong with not feeling like playing so I do understand your perspective.

I suppose it becomes tedious for others when it appears you are saying, "Everyone, stop playing!" versus the more benign, "I don't feel like playing today."

Not sure which you are going for but either way, to each their own! I think your comment is unpopular because the tone may come across as, "Everyone, stop having fun!" but I could def be misreading.

Nonetheless, hopefully you have something more fun things to think about now :-)

Looks very much like a Madonna inspired shoot re the makeup

As I've long said about Islam, if your god is so weak that he needs you to defend him, why are you so devoted? Christians have really taken the "don't criticize my god" torch and started running with it.

respect is not a right you get to demand and it should not be codified in law. that they feel the need to 'take action' because they are disrespected is scary.

What should Christians do, suicide bomb her family?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 4 months ago

Its not mockery as much as it is just making something shocking to stand out and be remembered.

Guy should leave the outrage to the Christians.

Religion appeals to authorities because it allows made up reasons to rule the lives of others. Reject authority, embrace compassion.

Look at this awful thing nobody should see

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Gotta love the wording on that, "why do Christians allow this mockery?" Because you don't have a fucking choice, sit down and stop removed! It annoys the fuck out of me that these idiots even have the gal to suggest they can do anything about supposed "mockery" Shit like this should be met with extreme rebuttal and prejudice, and yes, I say this as a mystic/pagan/whatever the fuck. Idiots like this should be laughed/removeded off stage, no ifs, ands, or buts!

The only Christians that consider Catholics Christian, are Catholics. So at the most it's disrespectful to Catholics.
