There's a recipe to induce abortion in the Bible.
Not reading it is part of the book club.
I've been trying to find that bit and my apparently poor googling techniques are finding nothing. Do you mind sharing an article or passage? (Just got back from a vacation with some fairly religious family members who were goddamn tiring, would be nice to be able to cite this next time.)
Numbers 5:11-31. Here's a Wikipedia Article about it.
Oh, if you want more fun, read them these two verses:
Exodus 21:12:
Anyone who assaults and kills another person must be put to death.
And Exodus 21:22:
When people who are fighting injure a pregnant woman so that she has a miscarriage but no other injury occurs, then the guilty party will be fined what the woman’s husband demands, as negotiated with the judges.
Then ask them why the punishment for killing a person is not the same as the punishment for causing a miscarriage.
After that, ask them why, if the Bible is the "inerrant" word of God, do some translations of that second verse use "miscarriage" while others say something more general like "caused a premature birth" instead? Because the meaning of that verse changes drastically depending on which way it's translated.
At this point, you'll probably be called a godless baby killer and uninvited from Thanksgiving dinner.
After that, ask them why, if the Bible is the “inerrant” word of God, do some translations of that second verse use “miscarriage” while others say something more general like “caused a premature birth” instead? Because the meaning of that verse changes drastically depending on which way it’s translated.
According to Google Translate, the original Hebrew for just that phrase directly translates to "and her children went out," but with the full context of the verse it becomes "and her children are born." Make of that what you will.
I could translate it to "and she gets a black eye," but that doesn't make the word itself any less reliable, only my wrong translation. I don't know about the people you hang out with, but I'm pretty sure it's important for Christians to understand that human translations are prone to error.

It's not really a recipe but the Bitter Waters can be viewed as an abortifacient.
Regardless of if true - that verse does show that the christian god is pro-abortion.
There is a kind of “recipe” in Numbers 5:11-31
It’s a “test for an unfaithful wife” but it’s a curse which would make a woman miscarry a child if it belonged to someone other than her husband.
Just ask them how god defines weddings in Christianity then point out Jews had weddings first.
They're both abrahamic religions... It would make sense that God (being the same supernatural being in both religions) would have the same definition under both religions...
What's that supposed to prove?
What in the manufactured persecution fetish is this bullshit? Where's the meme?

Didn't you hear? Everything is a meme now.
This is a joke, but it's also not (sadly)
Everything's a joke, but nothing is. Everything's ironic, but also everything's serious. Jokes are meant to make light of situations, but you can't make them about serious stuff. It's Schrödinger's comedy, a true definition of Metarcasm: Everything real is satire and every satire is genuine.
My4 Yo found one of those in a bathroom and i was so pissed. And i couldnt really explain to her why she “couldn’t have the comic.” I told her it wasn’t a nice thing and NOBODY shpuld be reading it.
I've known a few people who have been servers, who had the tip line scratched out and one of those fake $100 Bible tracts left for them.
Sometimes I really believe they litter that shit as a power play and not as a missionary thing.
100%
Finally a relatable comic that offers a true look into the home of your standard antifa, or uppity lib.
Why just the other day I found a baptism certificate in my daughters backpack.
Well that was three abortions and the gender reassignment is booked for next year.
Seriously though, holy fuck. How does someone come up with that nonsense and actually believe that?
There's two types. One that is really that stupid and one that just wants to create chaos. There has been scientific research about this.
Reverse baptism: when the devil tells the priest to get out of the child.
THE YOUTH PASTOR PREGNANCY ABORTIONS FOR MY LITTLE SUSIE ARE JUST FINE.
It's all the other little whores who are enjoying sex or may die from their pregnancies that we really worry about. Those babies need to be saved for Jesus.
We're talking about a religion based on the fact that a god made a girl pregnant without her consent. So I guess it's part of their beliefs ?
Oh my Odin this isn't satire? Jesus Tittyfucking Christ
"You are about to be anointed.... Uggh!"
Guess I have to work on in my moobs, then.
The fact that this is not satire about conservatives ridiculous fever dreams, but a serious depiction of one, makes it really damn funny :'D
It made the comic even funnier when I saw that it was unironic
Too bad such talented hands are attached to such a stunted mind.
I'm hoping for a redemption arc.

Great Futurama episode about that.
Wow, I don't even know how to process this. The dumbass conservatives are getting so confused about life they're actually creating sarcastic comics about their way of thinking unintentionally.
This is peak irony
Are you talking about The Last Generation Chick Tract?
My personal favorite is Dark Dungeons.
My biggest disappointment in life was finishing a whole campaign of D&D and never getting invited into a cult to cast spells with THE REAL POWER. Maybe it had to be with 2nd edition instead of 3.5?
For educational purposes, go watch Fox News for an hour (WARNING: more than 90 minutes can cause brain damage). I absolutely guarantee you will hear the same phrase, with the same wording, 20-200 times (sometimes they are more emphatic depending on the subject) within that hour. If you repeat it enough times, some people will take it as hard fact.
Oh this isn't an ironic post ?
The fun part is that it's both!
Why only have one fanbase when there's two?
Ah the Joe Rogan Avenue, that never goes wrong
Have fun changing it and sending it back.
Good job!
😳
Stolen meme, but its too good
It's me...
My dad is communist and this happens every day
Surprised he lived this long without food
Wait until you find out op is posting it seriously and not ironically
I saw that a few times on reddit. It's a trip trying to peek inside the brains of Christian fascists.
Imagine if we just leaned into their wacky right-wing conception of pro-choice and were like "yeah, our endgame is to have as many abortions as possible per capita." Their heads would explode lol
I'm gonna get my vasectomy reversed to own the cons
Gotta look at it the other way to trigger them. A vasectomy is an automated instantaneous abortion. You're so pro-abortion that you're causing them every single time you have sex!
Doesn't the Catholic church actually kinda believe that about contraceptives?
They believe... something. I know they hate contraceptives and in part because they can prevent conception. I don't remember if it's exactly in line with seeing them as equivalent to abortion. Either way it's insane.
Every time you blow a load, sir!
Snip snap!
Well 75% of his cartoons feature blatant racism, so I'm gonna go with no.
And I don't mean like dog whistle racism or microaggression, I mean like you'd expect to find these comics in the KKK magazine level.
You're going to tell me you wouldn't be upset if you're kid was Christian?
I wouldn't be upset, I'd just be a little disappointed. If you're gonna believe in God, there are better ideas out there than that, but I wouldn't be upset about it unless the usual beliefs and actions tag along too.
This us beyond hilarious.
Yet here they are constantly having thier messages spread further and more prolifically than others in the same medium. Keep hate viewing the right into prominence, see how that works out
"God bless you"... riiight, that is totally what she is trying to communicate. Loving kindness and grace. No way her god would see through that. 🙄
Strong Jack Chick vibes with this one.
He’s no Jack Chick, is he?
The text has to be photoshopped. Right? Right?
This but unironically
This but unironically. Bring the fetus home, we'll bury it next to the Bible.
It is incredibly common for political comments to exaggerate stuff as a form of humor. It happens on both sides. This comment section doesn't seem to know that
That would imply that the artist is willing to fun of some part of his ideology. But a lot of his other comics can be boiled down to the usual "I, the conservative chad, destroy the screaming nonsensifal leftist".
They do have a sort of "so bad its good" vibe to them that I doubt is intentional. Like the biden sucking the blackness out of a girl one or him getting 3 women pregnant Kenshiro style. Or in a meta level, making a "gas prices are good but everything else sucks now and its the left's fault" comic almost immediately after making a "everything sucks now because gas prices are too high and its the left's fault" comic
I think there's some point in exaggerating things where it changes the meaning of exaggeration. At first this cartoon seemed to me like a satire of conservatives, mocking their exaggeration by exaggerating it even more. Imo the problem with this being "right wing humor" is not that right winger actively believe what it depicts, but rather that they do not perceive how it's so enormously stupid that it even ridicules right wing ideas. (Because here, you're like "hey, leftist harassing their child like right wingers do is so absurd and implausible, haha"). Of course they could be very self-aware to the point that they could laugh at their own ideas, but i sincerely doubt there are much people able to do that in any political spectrum.
You do realize this comic then violates "thou shalt not bear false witness against your neighbor" tho...right?
Yes, but one side makes jokes on them, cause there believe in a obviously misanthropic view of live, that will harm themselves, and cause there believe in a imaginary friend, who says them they should prefer an really old book full of contradictions instead of science, and ....
The other side is far away from perfect and not always right, but this is not on the same level.
Both side aren't the same.
Look if you don't have a political views of a blue haired zer, you're going to get down voted hard on Lemmy.

It's funny how 'getting an abortion' is the most atheist thing the artist could think of - I believe that's not even forbidden in the Bible?
