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.

To be fair (to be faaaaaair), average life expectancy then, and throughout basically all of history, was dramatically reduced by super high infant/child mortality. Most people who made it to adulthood lived a lot longer than 40. Darwin was actually a pretty normal age to die even then. Especially since he wasn't subject to the other big killer of the young, dying in childbirth.

To be clear, I'm not endorsing whatever the hell this meme is, I'm just super into history and life expectancy is a really interesting topic (to me, at least, I'm sure most people think it's super lame).

I appreciate this comment. Not something I had ever considered.
