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.

  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.

It's even more ludicrous because he's facing so many criminal and civil charges for provably not telling the truth. I swear reality has turned into a Mel Brooks movie.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 28 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Mel Brooks movies are good though...

[–] GrymEdm@lemmy.world 19 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

I agree they are fantastic as satire! Maybe a little less as reality. It's like how The Onion content from 15 years ago wasn't meant to be prophecy. I swear when I saw Trump selling those gold sneakers I was reminded of this Spaceballs clip - the only difference is Trump is spraypainted orange instead of gold.

[–] KingJalopy@lemm.ee 9 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Yeah I watched Idiocracy recently for the first time in a long time and damn that movie holds up.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

I tried watching it in 2020 for the first time ever, and I had to turn it off. It was too depressingly accurate.

[–] Zachariah@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

unfortunately

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 11 points 7 months ago

You’re missing the point. They’re saying Jesus was a pathological liar. /s

I believe he was extremely devout. Check out The Passover Plot. Fantastic book about how cleverly he engineered the situation to become the prophesied messiah. I finished it last week and loved it.

Irony died somewhere before CPAC accepted the label domestic terrorists and Trump saying Republicans eat their own young and instead of correcting himself when he catches it he doubles down instead. We held a funeral but I misinterpreted the invitations.

gotta hand it to them, christofascists make the funniest shitposts and theyre not even trying.

[–] protist@mander.xyz 10 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

It such an incredible shitpost it's hard to believe it wasn't created by an intentional shitposter specifically to troll my great aunt Joyce, who will frown at this shitpost with approval and unironically share it with her Facebook friends, who unfollowed her years ago

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 29 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Blasphemous bullshit.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.world 20 points 7 months ago

White Jesus telling the truth?

Bitch you ain't jesus.

[–] henfredemars@infosec.pub 20 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

What about his book makes you think he's conservative?

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 15 points 7 months ago (2 children)

They bonded over their abusive, racist pieces of shit fathers.

[–] Juviz@feddit.de 6 points 7 months ago

Hey, leave Joseph out of it. He was a standup guy, hard working carpenter. Even took care of his wife after she cheated on him

[–] snooggums@midwest.social 5 points 7 months ago

Yeah, but one turned out okay and the other was an abusive, racist piece of shit like his father.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 11 points 7 months ago (1 children)

You mean the parts where Jesus ran merchants out of the temple with a whip, called all the religious leaders hypocrites, and said rich people getting saved is harder than shoving a camel through a needle's eye? (Which, yes, does mean exactly what it sounds like it does).

Those are the truths they're talking about, right?

[–] Ilflish@lemm.ee 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

The only way I can justify these pictures being real and not made as jokes are that they are propaganda to get religious people to vote for Trump. I don't believe religious people are doing this.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Have you met some religious people? It’s entirely plausible there are plenty of white “Christians” making these super sacrilegious things. Remember he literal golden idol?I mean, these people aren’t actually christians anymore. They’re the “religious right.” It’s a political faction more than an actual denomination.

[–] Ilflish@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I have but not American Christians

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

"Well sure THIS is fake. But can you imagine what it'd be like if it were real? Just imagine bro. Just twist this fake BS in your head to something that could be plausible. Now use that twisted BS to reinforce your beliefs. Just think about it!"

[–] Jorgelino@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

As another commented pointed out, look at the watermark under trump's arm.

"Mike Oxmaul, American Patriot"

It's satire.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

This is terrible sacrilege.

[–] KISSmyOS@feddit.de 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Look at the name of the artist under Trump's arm.
It's satire.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

Poe's Law means that I don't know for sure if these are satire by looking at the content alone.

[–] WaxiestSteam69@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

When I see these I start thinking about who made it and I can't decide which scenario is worse. Is it a grifter trying to motivate the rubes or a true believer? Either way it's cringey as hell.

[–] VeryVito@lemmy.ml 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Um… Isn’t that Steve Carell from Evan Almighty?

[–] Pan_Ziemniak@midwest.social 2 points 7 months ago

JC got an upgrade?

[–] mkuznetsoff@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I don't really understand this, but there could be Navalny.

[–] _sideffect@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago
[–] ChillPenguin@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Ffs, is this real? Is this seriously where we are at?

[–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 7 months ago

My first impression was that somebody probably made it as a joke, but then many people took it seriously and liked it. A take on poe’s law.

I take occasional trips into rural America, and if this was available to purchase on a flag or a banner, people would fly it 100% seriously.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That jesus should be brown skinned, if we talk about truth.

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)
[–] nexguy@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

And be a dusty remains of a skeleton

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

After 2000 years it's probably butt dust.

[–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 1 points 7 months ago

They hated Charles Manson for telling the truth?

[–] Schadrach@lemmy.sdf.org 0 points 7 months ago

Of course Trump tells the truth. That's what they call posts on Truth Social and he uses it quite a bit.

Didn't know Jesus posted there though...
