The hot new thing in proselytizing is an app that allows Christian conservatives to collect data on whole neighborhoods of potential converts.

    Maybe the next step would be a handy badge that unbelievers can wear, you know, like a yellow star or a pink triangle. Something like that…

      Perhaps an official uniform too - maybe white sheets with pointy hoods could work?

    Satanists should make a map of every Christian household. I’m sure they’d appreciate that favour returned to them.

      Most states already do that with the voter rolls.

          Go to the state bureau of elections. Download the voter rolls. Filter on R and recent vote cast. Those are the most likely Christians.

    This brand of “warfare” instead calls on believers to wage “violent prayer” (persistently and aggressively channeling emotions of hatred and anger against Satan), engage in “spiritual mapping” (identifying areas where evil is at work, such as the darkness ruling over an abortion clinic, or the “spirit of greed” ruling over Las Vegas), and conduct prayerwalking (roaming the streets in groups, “praying on-site with insight”).

    ahhh! the ever popular 2 minutes of hate multiple times a day.

    I guess it’s not available on iOS. It’s not in the App store.

        That is “The BLESS app” not “Bless Every Home.” There is a review of it from a year ago. Not the same app (although similar sounding).

          Unfortunately it does the same thing. They renamed it, since the site links to this app: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/bless-every-home/id1541313484

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.

  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.
