Men Named "David" More Likely to Suffer Identity Crisis


Matt Chandler, the lead pastor of Southern Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, has shot to the evangelical spotlight in after preaching a sermon in which he proclaims that "You're not David!" to an unsuspecting captive audience. In doing so, however, he inadvertently caused a mass identity crisis among an unlikely, oddly-specific demographic: people who actually are named "David."

One person, who commented on the condition of anonymity, said: "I've been called David my whole life. Now that I've been told I'm not David, I don't even know who I am anymore. I've started going by my middle name, but nobody's ever called me "Matthew" before and it's really taking some getting used to. My children look at me like I'm a stranger. My wife says she feels like she's sleeping with another man. I feel like a stranger in my own skin. I'm having an identity crisis. What do I do?

We reached out to a local counselor for assistance and recommendations to those afflicted in such a manner, but upon showing him the video, he exclaimed "...but my name is David!" and promptly ran out of the room. Follow up calls were made to his office, but his receptionist stated that no one by the name of David works there and refused to elaborate further.

If you were named David, and you're currently struggling with similar issues, please seek help by a trained and licensed counselor, clinician or psychologist. Just don't look for help from other people who also go by the given name of "David."

*satire notwithstanding, mental illness and trauma are no laughing matter, and we don't mean to demean anyone suffering from serious illness. If you believe you are suffering from a serious issue, we encourage you to seek your pastor or respective clergy and/or professional help.

Pastor Jane's Inappropriate Relationships Spark Cheers of 'Yaaaaasss Queen' Amidst Ecclesiastical Double Standards

Breaking the Stained-Glass Ceiling: Pastor Jane's Scandalous Path to Feminist Icon Status In a groundbreaking moment for ecclesiastical equality, Pastor Jane Doe has become a beacon of feminist empowerment after being caught in a series of inappropriate relationships with male congregants. Her actions have sparked a wave of support, with many hailing her as a "Yaaaaasss Queen" for shattering the stained-glass ceiling. While male pastors have historically faced defrocking for similar indiscretions, Pastor Jane's case has been celebrated as a triumph of modern feminism. "Why should men have all the fun?" quipped one supporter, highlighting the double standards that have long plagued religious institutions. Critics, however, point to biblical texts that traditionally restrict the role of pastor to men and suggest women should remain silent in church. Yet, Pastor Jane's followers argue that these interpretations are outdated and patriarchal. "If she can...

Once Judeo-Christian Nation Watches Debate To Determine Which Immoral Reprobate Best Qualified to Lead

Nation’s Moral Compass Goes Haywire, Formally Resigns Following Debate Philadelphia - In a spectacle that could only be described as a divine comedy, the nation once hailed as a "Judeo-Christian" nation gathered to watch the presidential debate, eager to determine which immoral reprobate would best lead them forward. The candidates, both seasoned in the art of moral ambiguity, took the stage with the confidence of televangelists at a Sunday sermon.   As the candidates took the stage, the audience was treated to a spectacle reminiscent of a reality show, complete with mudslinging and moral gymnastics that would make even the most seasoned circus performer blush. One candidate, known for his "alternative facts," argued passionately that he had the best rallies in the history of political rallies, while another claimed to be “unburdened by the past” [but still current] administration’s numerous international scandals and blunders, promising that to fix everything she h...

Who's That Pastor? The Case of the Canceled Scandal

When a Sin is Remembered, But the Sinner Isn't! In an unprecedented twist of events, a pastor, whose name has been completely erased from the annals of social media and literature, finds himself at the center of a scandal no one can quite remember. Reports suggest that this enigmatic figure was "canceled" for alleged infidelity, but the details remain as elusive as his identity. The Great Erasure has left social media platforms scrubbed clean of his name, leaving only cryptic references to "that pastor." Bookstores worldwide have reportedly burned his works, leaving a trail of ashes and confusion. While some mourn the loss of his literary contributions, others find humor in the situation, joking that the pastor's greatest sin was being forgettable. The church community remains divided. Some draw parallels to biblical figures like King David, while others argue that such comparisons are irrelevant without a name to attach them to. As the world grapples with t...
