Christian Hate Meme

Submitted by Ashley Peters on Sun, 11/30/2014 - 17:39

One of the main stereotypes and beliefs of Christians is summarized in this meme. The assumption in this meme is one of the most common statements made by non-believers towards Christians. In the Bible Christians are called to love everyone just as Christ did and because nobody is perfect some Christians fall short and judge those who are not believers. This meme attacks the Christian faith by mocking the Christian for telling people they are Christ-like while constantly judging and hating those who do not believe in God.

Evolution and the Talking Snake

Submitted by Ashley Peters on Sun, 11/30/2014 - 17:30

In this meme the author uses facts within the Bible as evidence against the Christian in order to prove their point. The rhetoric in this meme is also very condescending towards Christians because it compares two difficult concepts in order to prove that both are equally hard to understand. This comparison is used to show the Christian that not only do they act in a superior way but that they also believe their concepts to be completely comprehensible and understandable.

Church Bragging Meme

Submitted by Ashley Peters on Sun, 11/30/2014 - 17:21

This meme is very similar to the parent meme because it exaggerates the belief that Christians believe they are better than everyone else. The text in this meme is very condescending and superior towards the Christian which gives this meme the humor that it has. The rhetoric is explaining how the Christian thinks he/she is inferior and more perfect yet it is ironic because the author of this meme uses text to down-play their belief by using rhetoric that is one-upping the non-believer. This meme can be seen as encouraging and discouraging to the believer and non-believer.

The Condescending Wonka is considered to be the “advice animals” category and as the name suggests the captions can be characterized as patronizing and sarcastic. The “advice animals” (which include humans) are memes accompanied by captioned text to represent a character trait or archetype that fits the role of a “stock character.” Condescending Wonka is a natural play on the patronizing and condescending nature of Willy Wonka.
