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."

The agent, mishearing the theological term, immediately sprang into action, shouting, "Armenian? We've got ourselves an illegal!" Chaos ensued as agents attempted to deport the protesting pastor to Armenia. "I said Arminian, not Armenian!" Anderson...

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...
