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.

That's... Not what retrograde motion means in astronomy. Retrograde is when Mercury and Venus appear to change directions in their orbits because they orbit faster than the Earth. Mars cannot be in retrograde as viewed from the earth.

It sounds like he's saying Mars changed its direction of spin over time, which I'm not aware of happening.

Maybe he's never heard of Nostradamus, or the Mayan predictions of the end of the world. Or evenBaba Vanga.

Loads of people have made predictions, it's easy to "see" these things in hindsight.

or have vague matches against a high volume of bullshit, like nostradamus. books and book of material and what, a few passages here and there kinda match some current event.

Not the first time I've read a Muslim claiming scientific discoveries as Muhammad's. And it's always the most brain-dead stuff, too. I want to know when we're gonna discover something tangible directly in the Quran that really transforms our everyday lives since it's apparently bursting with advanced knowledge.

The best part is when you actually read the passages they're talking about. Muhammed will be like: "The stars are shiny", and they'll insist that he's obviously talking about pulsars there, lol.

The Pacific and Atlantic oceans will never mix? That's news to me, seeing as there is no land between them. But maybe it's something to do with currents.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

They most certainly do mix - the deep water atlantic current rises to the surface and travels across to the pacific. That's what makes the Antarctic waters so fertile and why all those whales and penguins hang out in such terrible weather conditions

One quick Quran search has the word "month" pop up 17 times, and "day" 458 times.
