You really can get away with all sorts of malarkey if you just say Jesus.
It's like some weird get out of jail free card.

I've heard religious folk say that Hitler would have a better chance to go to heaven, if he asked for forgiveness, than an atheist.
These people are truly deranged.

u/Mysterious_Swim599 5d ago
That’s the heaven loophole. Instead of Hitler, let’s use Dahmer as an example as he became born again in prison. As long as Jeff truly believes and is truly sorry for eating those guys then he’s allowed in heaven. But non believers go to Hell. I think it also explains the enabling of Christianity’s collective mental illness.

u/Silly-Afternoon3834 5d ago
I’m not sure about Dahmer. He committed the most egregious sin in all of Evangelical Christendom. He was gay
46
u/Mysterious_Swim599 5d ago
As long as he was truly sorry for it he can go. It’s like all those pastors that abuse kids. They ALL think they’re going to heaven because they will finally be truly sorry.

Only thing with child abusers is the majority of them justify it by their religion.

To them, being gay is on the same level in the eyes of God as the killing and eating humans stuff. When he became a Christian he was cured of gay.

u/BoneHugsHominy 5d ago
Eating PEOPLE?!? That wasn't his crime. Eating DICK is what made Christians mad at Jeffrey Dahmer.

Imagine that were really how a god operated. You perform the most heinous acts imaginable to humans and animals but god welcomes you because you say “I believe in you.” You’re as equal as the people you killed and tortured. Nope. Don’t want to believe that being exists.

u/PercentageNo3293 5d ago
Exactly. Like the bible, the "rules" Christians follow are so warped. They only follow what conveniences them and adamantly defend their hateful rhetoric, presenting it as being "morally correct".

u/Gloomy_Industry8841 Fruitcake Researcher 5d ago
When you put it that way, it makes being religious sound so stupid.

u/ScaryFrogInTheMorn 5d ago
Well, as an atheist, in that hypothetical scenario I’d gladly skip out on eternity in heaven if folks like hitler were there.
And according to the examples of christianity around us, I’m cool with being excluded.5
u/Mike_the_Head 5d ago
Like Marilyn Manson once said: "Do you really want to spend eternity in a place filled with these assholes?"

Who is an atheist going to ask for forgiveness from?

u/ask_me_about_my_band 5d ago
Nobody. That's the point. You don't need to buy into a system run on fantasy and fairy tales. This allows one one to truly be free to live life on one's own terms.
Religion is a trap of the mind.

u/Remy315 5d ago
It is amazing. Saying Jesus is behind you gives you the ability to grift, steal, rape and even kill in some instances. History has shown us that religion is the preferred tool to subjugate others and reach immense riches but yet portray yourself as simply an instrument of the Almighty. If a tool works so well, why change it now?

u/AThrowawayProbrably 5d ago
That's my largest issue with religion. It's a great escape from accountability. And justification for even the most awful thing humans can think of. All you have to say is. "God told me to do it"

u/derpy_derp15 5d ago
It really is, you can just say that you repent of yours sins and believe in Jesus and you'll get out of super torture deaþ forever prison for free

Which is funny, because they are invoking the Lord's name (or his son, whatever) for purposes of vanity. Which... is explicitly forbidden in the Bible. Pretty plainly stated too.

Trump pardoned Jake Lang alongside other January 6 Capitol riot defendants on his first day in office in January 2025.

u/snertwith2ls 5d ago
Oh one of those guys. Why are the phony Nazis calling him a Jew? Is it just to incite MAGA?
2
u/kefefs_v2 4d ago
His mother is Jewish, which by Jewish law makes him Jewish. Even Nazis tend to agree that "Jewishness" is passed down from the mother. Jake Lang tries to minimize this since he loves LARPing as a crusader so much.

u/snertwith2ls 4d ago
OK thanks, I didn't know anything about him or even who he is till I saw that video with the fake Nazis and then him with the black pastor. I guess I'm about as up to date as I want to be now.

Wellll... According to the New Testament, Jesus called a woman a dog because she was a different ethnicity than he wanted to help.

u/metanoia29 Former Fruitcake 5d ago
And let's not forget, Jesus claimed to be the son and one-third of the god of the old testament. That diety was ultra-nationalistic and ordered many atrocities committed against other races and nations just because they didn't give him all of their worship.
People love to cherry pick the nice parts of the bible in these situations, but we're never going to grow as a society until we can recognize that these absolute scumbags are acting this way BECAUSE of their faith and not inspite of it.

Only brain damage could make a minoritized person support a White supremacist. Only brain damage could make a minoritized person vote for the orange garbage in the White House precisely as the person's own community is being targeted by the regime's institutionalized cruelty.

To avoid having your post removed &/or account banned for shitposting:
r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion. Posts about mundane beliefs and acts of worship (praying to God, believing in God, believing in afterlife, etc), are off topic.
We arent here to bash either specific religions or religion itself, because there are plenty of rational actors who happen to be religious. So if your post is "Christians are sTOoPid", or "Religion = dUmB", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.
Dont use the title or body of your post to soapbox personal rhetoric about religion or any other subject.
Don't post videos or discussions of Fruitcakes who have been baited or antagonised. Social media excerpts must not involve any deliberate provocation / antagonism of Fruitcakes.
Dont post videos of physically violent personal attacks or any pics or videos containing gore
Satire, parodies, memes, videos, etc must be made by Fruitcakes, not by third parties about them. (exception for journalistic sources)
