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.

Imagine busting out some theocracy-backed monarchy bs from 1396 in an attempt to justify pedophilia.

Not that you're wrong, but Muhammad married Aisha in 620. It's weird to imply that theocratic nonsense from 1396 is fundamentally different than theocratic nonsense 700+ years earlier.

We object to this one too moron

I mean they could maybe be making a really point how certain people in the west will focus on the pedo profit of Islam but not give a shit about pedophilia in their own history/religion?

I think the point is that both were likely just political marriages that had little if anything to do with sex and romance

Yeah, except the Quran specifically states that Muhammed had sex with Aisha at 9 years old.

He married her at 6, and waited three years before having sex with her, what a gentleman...

Edit: Maybe not the Quran, but the hadiths that talk about their marriage. I tend to forget that Islam's religious texts aren't limited to one book.
