Facebook has recently taken down several popular pages that feature animal-themed content with religious or political undertones. The most notable example is Non-denominational Narwhal, a page that posted memes and jokes about narwhals and their beliefs. The page had over 10 million followers before it was abruptly removed by Facebook for violating its community standards.

The page's creator, who goes by the pseudonym Nemo, said he was shocked and outraged by Facebook's decision. "I never posted anything hateful or violent. I just wanted to share my love for narwhals and their unique worldview. They are the unicorns of the sea, after all. Facebook is clearly discriminating against me and my fellow narwhals."

Facebook has not given a clear explanation for why it shut down Non-denominational Narwhal, but some speculate that it was due to the page's controversial stance on various issues, such as climate change, immigration, and vaccination. Nemo said he was not afraid to express his opinions, even if they were unpopular or unconventional. "Narwhals are free thinkers. Especially non-denominational ones. We don't follow the herd of orthodoxy and tradition. We question everything and seek the truth."

Other animal pages have also been targeted by Facebook's censorship. Totally Depraved Turtle Dove, a page that posted content related to Calvinism and birdwatching, was flagged as "Not Recommendable" by Facebook and is in danger of being shut down. The page has over 5 million followers who enjoyed its witty and sarcastic posts about predestination, grace, and avian beauty.

The page's creator, going by the pseudonym John Calvinbird, said he was worried and disappointed by Facebook's action. "I don't know what I did wrong. I never posted anything harmful or misleading. I just wanted to share my faith and my passion for birds. Facebook is trying to silence me and my fellow turtle doves."

Presbyterian Panda, another page that combined religion and humor, has decided to lay low and avoid posting anything that might trigger Facebook's wrath. The page has over 8 million followers who love its cute and clever posts about pandas and Presbyterianism. 

The page's creator, going by the pseudonym Martin Luthbear, said he was saddened by Facebook's crackdown on animal pages. "I don't understand why Facebook is so hostile to us. We are not harming anyone or spreading misinformation. We are just having fun and sharing our beliefs. Is that a crime? I better start hoarding bamboo."

PETA, the animal rights organization, has expressed its concern over Facebook's attacks against animal pages. The group said it was alarmed by Facebook's apparent disregard for animal welfare and freedom of expression.

PETA's spokesperson, who goes by the pseudonym Ingrid Newkirkat, said she was appalled by Facebook's behavior. "Facebook is violating the rights of these animals and their fans. They are silencing their voices and denying them their dignity. They are treating them as inferior beings who do not deserve respect or recognition. This is unacceptable and immoral."

PETA has threatened to get involved and take action against Facebook if it does not stop its war on animals. The group said it was prepared to launch a campaign of protests, boycotts, and lawsuits to defend the rights of these animals and their pages.

Facebook has not responded to PETA's statement or to the complaints of the animal page creators. The social media giant has remained silent and secretive about its motives and methods for removing these pages.

Many users have expressed their frustration and anger over Facebook's censorship of animal pages. They have accused Facebook of being biased, arbitrary, and oppressive. They have demanded that Facebook restore these pages and apologize to their creators and followers.

However, some users have also expressed their support for Facebook's decision. They have argued that these animal pages were offensive, divisive, and misleading. They have praised Facebook for taking a stand against hate speech, fake news, and extremism.

The debate over Facebook's war on animals has sparked a heated discussion on social media and beyond. It has raised questions about the role and responsibility of Facebook as a platform for communication and information. It has also highlighted the diversity and complexity of animal cultures and perspectives.

Piper Rebukes Driscoll, Defends Stripper Sword-Swallower

Piper Defends Male Strippers from Driscoll, Says Faith is "Erotic to the Core" MINNEAPOLIS, MN - In a surprising turn of events, prominent evangelical leader John Piper has come out in defense of male strippers, arguing that their profession is a valid expression of Christian spirituality. The controversy began when fellow pastor Mark Driscoll condemned male strippers as "ungodly" and "a threat to the moral fabric of society." Driscoll's comments sparked outrage among some in the Christian community, including Piper, who quickly rushed to the defense of the much-maligned exotic dancers. "Mark Driscoll clearly has a very narrow and repressed view of human sexuality," Piper told reporters. "As I've said many times, the Christian faith is erotic to the core. God created us as sexual beings, and that includes the male stripper." Piper went on to cite the "Song of Songs" as biblical evidence that God delights in human sensu

Christian Man Denounces All Holidays as Pagan, Celebrates Nothing

Even the Calendar Comes From Pagans, Man Declares A Christian man from San Diego, California, has declared that he will not celebrate any holiday, not even his own birthday, because they are all pagan and sinful. John Bradfield, 45, says he has been studying the Bible and history for years and has come to the conclusion that every holiday is an abomination in the eyes of God. "I don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, or any other holiday,"  Bradfield  said. "They are all based on pagan traditions and rituals that have nothing to do with Christianity. They are all corrupted by Satan and his minions. Even my birthday is pagan, because it's based on the solar calendar, which was invented by pagans. I only follow the biblical calendar, which is based on the lunar cycles." Bradfield says he spends his days reading the Bible, praying, and preaching to others about the evils of holidays. He says he has no friends or family,
