article: Mothers across the globe have been left outraged by an alleged religious community that is criticizing moms for having cesarean sections instead of natural childbirths – creating a series of insulting campaign images, or memes, that claim they 'didn't really give birth'. The Facebook page of the so-called Disciples of the New Dawn has sparked an internet firestorm as thousands of mothers share, and comment on, the group's anti-cesarean memes, expressing their disgust at the outrageous messages they express; the community, led by Father Patrick Embry, is using the images to encourage fellow Christians to shame 'lazy' and 'negligent' mothers who have elected to undergo C-sections. 'Face the facts: You didn't really give birth. You caught a lucky break. Please show respect to superior women who actually had what it took to get the job done,' reads one of the group's Facebook memes, which has been shared nearly 80,000 times since it was posted on Sunday. Alarming message: This controversial anti-cesarean meme posted on the Disciples of the New Dawn's Facebook page on Sunday has been shared nearly 80,000 times . Propaganda: The religious community claims women will be 'cast into the lake of fire' if they undergo a C-section . 'Good advice from Matriarch Graber on behalf of The Circle of Matriarchs,' the Disciples of the New Dawn captioned the controversial image featuring a woman's C-section scar. The post continued: 'They have delivered many babies over the years, NATURALLY and not once has needed a C-Section or pharmaceutical toxins. Pregnancy is a beautiful thing as it is the zenith of a woman's role in a moral Christian society. If God has decided to call you home, it is not up to you or a doctor to reject Him. You may find yourself cast into the lake of fire for doing so. God's Peace [sic].' Although some reporters claimed to have spoken with Mr Embry, many question the existence of the extreme religious community and the validity of its messages. And while it remains unclear as to whether or not the page was created with the sole intention of inciting fury, its most recent postings have taken the internet by storm. Not scientific: This meme alleges that women who avoid vaccination are 'more likely' to have a natural vaginal birth . Public shaming: This meme featuring a mom in a bikini states that women shouldn't flaunt their stomachs after having cesarean sections because they didn't take care of themselves while they were pregnant . Scare tactics: The community added this picture caption to the meme to remind women that God is always 'watching' and 'judging' Thousands of women are sharing their stories and reasons for undergoing C-sections in the comment sections of the images, which claim there is 'no medical need' for cesareans. 'I am proud to have had a C-section! I was in labor for 3 days,' Barri Lynne Thomas wrote today. 'We found out my baby was stuck on my pelvis face up! If they would have simply moved her giving birth naturally I could have killed her! [sic]' Sara Jane Schwarz asked: 'How is it a lucky break? Getting a C-section means that the baby's and or the mother's life is in danger.' She continued: 'Birth is a miracle. It should not be played down or slandered like this group has done. It's a disgrace to women everywhere for this group to post such a hurtful and tactless post. It doesn't matter how one gives birth. All that matters is that there is birth of new life and everyone is safe and healthy.' Not true: This controversial meme claims that women who have C-sections 'do so because of decades of drug abuse and alcohol dependence' Unfair claims: The Disciples of the New Dawn also believe that there is 'no medial need' for cesarean sections when giving birth . Outrageous accusation: The group called women who have C-sections 'lazy' parents . 'Ignorance is bliss. May God forgive your stupidity,' Wendy Comfort added. And Cassie Wallace noted: '8,304 ppl LIKED THIS POST? See, to me, that's the scariest part... [sic]' Meanwhile, others are breathing new life into old petitions looking to remove the group's page from Facebook because of its history of 'severe hate speech' and 'sexism'. 2,500 new supporters have joined one online petition on Change.org today. 'I am signing this because of the hatred and condemnation they give to mothers who were not able to have a 'natural vaginal' birth and they are saying anyone who did not have this type of birth was due to drugs or 'being a little w****,' one woman from Texas explained. Nothing new: The Dawn of the New Disciples has a history of being accused of being sexist and hateful towards women . Dangerous thinking: The religious group claims that sticking to gender stereotypes is the key to a healthy and happy household . Impressionable minds: This disturbing image was allegedly drawn by a child and shared on the group's Junior Disciples page, which was created for younger members of the sect . She continued: 'This is very demeaning to women and mothers. It also makes claims that any mother who chose a C-section committed a SIN and should have refused it even if it mean death for both the mother and child.' Dawn of the New Disciples currently runs numerous pro-life, pro-gun Twitter accounts and Facebook pages including The Dawn Guard Militia and Junior Disciples, a community for its younger members, which features disturbing religious images allegedly created by children. One picture, which was posted in February, shows Jesus smiling while surrounded by guns. 'The Lord has given us many wonderful blessings in our life. None more precious than the God given right to bear arms. Every firearm is an extension of his hand. Every round like a heavenly embrace from Jesus himself, upon your adversary,' the group had captioned the controversial drawing. Violent thoughts: This childlike drawing shows Jesus smiling as he is surrounded by guns and a bloody knife . Loaded message: The picture was accompanied by this caption, which alleges that 'every firearm is an extension' of God's hand . Family affair: This photo of three young boys brandishing guns was shared on The Dawn Guard Militia page, which is also run by the religious community .
highlights: One of the images posted on the Disciples of the New Dawn Facebook page has been shared nearly 80,000 times since it was posted on Sunday .
  While it is unclear if the group is genuine - or a satire - its messages have prompted thousands of women to share their own C-section stories .
  Others are committing their support to past petitions to have the community's page removed from Facebook .
