Welcome to General Memes
Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel
We’re here for laughs, not fights.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults
Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats
Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
- NSFW memes must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.
Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

Well, even translation issues aside, we can have at least protestant, Catholic, and Jewish bibles.
And beyond the regular version, we'll also need large print, pocket-sized, and kids editions with pictures. And a novelty podium sized edition too, and the "study" version with the footnotes, concordance, maps, introductions, etc.
Oh, did you want the red letter edition where everything Jesus actually says is in red?
And did you want hard or soft side? Leather? Which color? Or maybe a 365-day devotional edition.
Back story time
My parents listened to I think chuck mistler back in who-knows-when. I first heard the 1 tape recording in 2008-2010. Apparently, some bibles changed verses from 'Jesus said' to 'he said'. Or 'praise god' to 'praise him'. And the crux of the argument was "who benefits from these changes".
Back then, I thought it was a good argument, and how the world is trying to take down christianity bit by bit.
Now I see it probably was just a cheap tactic to keep the followers in the church listening to the only pastor spreading "the truth".
Personal rant
I still think back to when I tried to defend the "True" KJV bible (King James Version) in youth group, where they had the "inferior" NIrV or something (New International Revised Version? I'm trying to recall 15+ year old memories now)
Probably lost some friends / labeled as the "weird one" back then.
Parents may think they raising their kids the right way, but in the end, they will just be the weird ones at sunday school, the only one with no phone in highschool, and no friends at 27...
