Christian Mistakes Star Wars Day for Liturgical Greeting

A local Christian man was left red-faced after he responded to a Star Wars fan's greeting of "May the fourth be with you," with "...and also with you!"

The incident occurred on Thursday, May 4th, when the man, who wished to remain anonymous, was walking down the street and encountered a group of people wearing Star Wars costumes and holding lightsabers.

The man, who is a regular churchgoer and unfamiliar with the popular sci-fi franchise, assumed that the group was part of a religious procession and that they were blessing him with a variation of the traditional liturgical response.

"I thought they were saying 'May the force be with you,' which sounded like a nice way of wishing me God's grace and power," the man explained. "So I replied with 'and also with you,' which is what we say in church when the priest says 'The Lord be with you.'"

The man said he realized his mistake when the group burst into laughter and started mocking him for his ignorance.

"They called me a nerd, a boomer, a heretic, and other names I can't repeat," the man said. "They also waved their lightsabers at me and made weird noises. I felt very intimidated and confused."

The man said he quickly walked away from the scene and vowed to never speak to strangers again.

"I don't understand why they have to make fun of me for being polite and respectful," the man said. "I don't care what Star Wars is or what day it is. I just want to live my life in peace and harmony."

The man said he hopes that his story will serve as a warning to other Christians who might encounter Star Wars fans on May 4th.

"Be careful what you say to them," the man advised. "They might not be as friendly as they seem. And may the Lord be with you."

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...

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 ...
