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.

Cave into what? Dude saw a woman in yoga pants, and now he has to go on a rape rampage? Wtf?

[–] socphoenix@midwest.social 45 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (3 children)

Gross regardless but to be completely fair “cave in” within a conservative Christian context could literally mean just a side glance to get a good look at them

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 17 points 8 months ago

Could literally mean anything from having lusty thoughts to full-blown rape. This is one of those hope for the best kind of situations, but if he's gonna tell us - even via ambiguous language - that he's a threat to the safety of women around him, then it's best to believe him.

I dunno, they get up to some creepy shit. Have you read their Bible? It’s pretty fucked up.

[–] socphoenix@midwest.social 8 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh yes i have, my point is still valid that he might mean something far more innocent than what it sounds like.

The Lord works in [ INFORMATION UNAVAILABLE DUE TO LEGAL SETTLEMENT OF MULTIPLE CHILD SEX ABUSE LAWSUITS ] ways.

I get that is the ideal they'd like to pretend is happening, but let's be real that they're already doing that. Without the rose-tinted glasses perspective, this is not what is actually being communicated.

These guys believe that the only way morality happens is if big Sky Daddy is watching them at all times with threats of terrible punishment. It’s why they literally don’t understand how non-Christians can be moral people.

Oh, I know. I have a mom who believes that she is entitled to be the most despicable and horrible person on earth because she prays to The Jesus™ for Forgiveness®, which makes everything she does A-OK!

Sorry, but I’m never gonna give that click up, because I think the link would let me down.

Never gonna give
Never gonna give
Give it up

I promise you it won't, but if you still won't click, at least go look up The Lonely Island "Jizz in my Pants". Fantastically stupid comedy song.

If you’re unfamiliar, I envy you. Not because it’s bad, but because you somehow avoided them for this long and can experience their music for the first time. It’s very internet-old, and it’s all very funny.

[–] QuantumSparkles@sh.itjust.works 31 points 8 months ago (2 children)

While I think the whole thing is yikes, I think in this instance he’s referring to caving in to masturbation/porn, not rape… I hope.

[–] bl4ckblooc@lemmy.world 25 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

I’m really naive and thought he just meant starring.

[–] flying_sheep@lemmy.ml 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

According to a lot of ex Christians in the comments, staring is probably exactly what he meant

[–] zeppo@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Just thinking lustful thoughts even if he doesn’t stare and nobody else notices anything. Literal thought policing.

Hopefully, it just sound icky
