Ba’al’s Eternal Restroom Break Leaves Voters’ Prayers Unanswered

Ba’al’s Bathroom Break Leaves Modern Supporters in a Lurch: “Maybe He’ll Hear Us If We Yell Louder!” In an unexpected twist, Ba'al, the ancient deity once mocked by Elijah for being "on the toilet," seems to be taking an extended break, leaving modern followers puzzled. Much like the ancient devotees who found themselves mocked by Elijah for their misplaced faith, today's supporters of certain political figures find their prayers unanswered. In ancient times, followers offered child sacrifices to deities like Ba'al for favorable outcomes. Today, some argue that modern women seek abortions to maintain their lifestyle or pursue prosperous careers, drawing parallels to these ancient rites. As Ba'al remains occupied, modern followers are left contemplating whether their sacrifices will ever yield the desired success. Meanwhile, the debate over personal and societal gains continues, echoing the motivations of ancient rituals.

Provisionist Petitions to Change Election Day to “Choose Whom You Will Serve Day”

Leighton Flowers Declares War on Calvinism: Wants Election Day to Sound Less Predestined and More Like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure In a twist on theological debates, Leighton Flowers has started a petition to rename "Election Day" to "Choose This Day Whom You Will Serve Day," aiming to highlight his disdain for Calvinism's doctrine of election. Flowers, known for his opposition to the idea that God unconditionally chooses certain individuals for salvation, argues that the current name inadvertently endorses Calvinist predestination. "Why should Election Day imply a predetermined outcome?" he quipped, suggesting the new name would better reflect the freedom of choice he advocates. Critics wonder if this is just another chapter in his ongoing crusade against Calvinism.

Christian Pacifists Reinterpret Romans 13 After Tragic Animal Incidents

Fred and Peanut Become Latest Mascots for Justice In a surprising twist, Christian pacifists have taken a page from the revolutionary Presbyterians' book by reinterpreting Romans 13, following the tragic demise of Fred the squirrel and Peanut the raccoon at the hands of government officials. These furry martyrs have sparked a theological debate, as pacifists now argue that Romans 13 supports civil disobedience against unjust state actions. Fred and Peanut, beloved local mascots, were allegedly "neutralized" for causing minor disruptions in a public park. Their untimely deaths have become a rallying cry for pacifists, who argue that the state's actions were neither just nor necessary. In response, pacifists assert that Romans 13, traditionally seen as a call to obey governing authorities, actually mandates resistance when the state acts contrary to God's will. They emphasize Paul's call to "overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21) as a directive to ch

Council Called to Decide When Christmas Decor Is Acceptable 0

Christmas Showdown: Deck the Halls or Stuff the Turkey? In a groundbreaking move, the newly convened Ecumenical Council of Christmas Decorators (ECCD) has met to settle the burning question: should we deck the halls with boughs of holly the day after Halloween or wait until the day after Thanksgiving? As the Apostle Paul said in 1 Corinthians 6:12, "All things are lawful, but not all things are beneficial." Pro-Pre-Halloween Faction argues that early decorators are simply "preparing their hearts" for the season. They cite studies showing that 87% of Christmas cheer comes from excessive twinkling lights and eggnog consumption. Pro-Post-Thanksgiving Contingent insists that waiting honors the sacred turkey and respects Advent’s solemnity. They argue, “Why rush? The Christmas spirit is like a fine wine; it needs time to breathe.” As debates rage on, one thing is clear: whether you’re a jingle bell early bird or a festive procrastinator, the true spirit of Christmas

Calvinists Rally Behind Trump After Supporters Called “Trash”

“I’ve heard worse things from my pastor! The hymns I sing every Sunday call me worse things than garbage!” Reformed Man Exclaims In a twist that has left political analysts scratching their heads, a group of undecided Calvinists has swung their support to Donald Trump after President Biden reportedly referred to them as “trash.” This unexpected endorsement has sparked laughter and confusion, all while highlighting the Calvinist doctrine of **total depravity**, which posits that all humans are inherently sinful. Trash Talk and Total Depravity For those unfamiliar, total depravity means that Calvinists believe they are born sinful—like a broken toaster that only burns toast. So when Biden’s comments hit the airwaves, many Calvinists found themselves chuckling. One particularly bemused Calvinist, “Dave from the Reformed Church,” noted, “Honestly, I’ve heard worse things from my pastor! The hymns I sing every Sunday call me worse things than garbage!” The Great Shift: From Undecided to Tr
