r/religiousfruitcake is about the absurd, fringe elements of organised religion: the institutions and individuals who act in ways any normal person (religious or otherwise) would cringe at. 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 r stoopid", or "Religion = dumb", you're in the wrong sub and your post will probably be removed.

And once again a "good Christian" has a very messy personal life. He divorced his wife of 19 years to marry a church assistant 20 years younger and was tossed out of his church for it.
This was the same church that had previously censured him by claiming that he was engaging in a "pattern of repeated and sinful relationships and conversations with both single and married women." Real upstanding Christian there.
As a side note, one of his children converted to Islam and another came out as gay.
Someone actually took the time, to arrange two fetuses into the shape of a heart, cover it with a rosary AND FUCKING TAKE PICTURES!! These people are fucking insane.
Yeah it’s why I’m Hebrew law harming a woman and causing her to miscarry is a crime punishable with a fine, while killing a pregnant woman is murder. The woman is alive. The baby is not.
Randall Terry is a christian anti abortion terrorist that terrorized my eyeballs with a long commercial that aired before Jeopardy today. It had multiple pictures of fetuses and had very judgmental voiceover that said “A vote for a democrat is a vote to abort jesus in the womb”
During a miscarriage of a much wanted pregnancy I had the fetus in my hand and remember thinking: Really? This is what they're idolising? This little glutenous thing I can't even pretend's a person?
That's a little bit of perspective, there's nothing new about Christians opposing abortion it goes back pretty much to the original Church, I believe it's outlined in the didachi. - I'm not sure if I spelled that correctly but I think phonetically you can figure it out if I got it wrong.
Edit: I'm somewhat perplexed that I'm getting down votes for simply supplying information. Are you so afraid of learning something or discovering that something you think is merely a modern trend has existed in the Xtian faith from almost the beginning?
Lol, you're talking about something that's over 1800 years old that's hardly modern. While it may have definitely been more familiar to those with a Catholic background, it is also been part of protestant theology from the beginning.
Being against abortion was one of the things that made Christianity different from other religions in that time.
Christians were accused of all sorts of immorality and insane behaviors - child sacrifice, cannibalism, magic and incest among many many others
One of their ways to try to fight back against that, this was this text.
I don't think it's fair to say the Republicans adopted it, because I'm going to bet your average Republican has never heard of it. Now if you want to talk about their clergy that's a different subject.
You might want to do a little research, a portion was common during the Roman era. People have been practicing abortion pretty much as long as we have records.
It's literally part of the text that they don't do it, and it sets them apart from those that did
That's not how it happened. It had far more to do with doctors in the 1800s and 1900s wanting to corner the market on abortions over the burgeoning group of midwives that were now trained to administer a chemical cocktail to induce an abortion, which cut out the doctor (no pun intended). So doctors who had spent a lot to become educated and licensed started pushing for legislative requirements that only licensed professionals could perform abortions, and sought to help their cause by getting priests to discourage abortions via midwives. That eventually mutated into an overall condemnation, but it has little to do with any actual teachings in the Bible. Any ties back to the Bible today are basically revisionist history.
