Guitarist With 5 and a Half Chords Perfects 400 Year-Old Masterpiece

Musician Claims Divinely-Inspired Bridge Completes Unfinished Song From Centuries Before



After years of practice and dedication, worship band leader Dave O'Connor has finally achieved his lifelong dream of perfecting a 400 year-old classic hymn by adding a bridge. O'Connor, who only knows six guitar chords (and can only play 5 consistently), said he was inspired by the Holy Spirit to spice up the old tune with a catchy and repetitive chorus that he wrote himself.

"I was playing 'How Great Thou Art' one day and I felt like something was missing," O'Connor said. "The verses were great, but they needed a hook, something to really drive home the message of God's greatness. So I came up with this bridge: 'You are great, you are great, you are great / You are great, you are great, you are great / You are great, you are great, you are great / You are great, Lord I praise.'"

O'Connor said he was thrilled when he debuted his new version of the hymn at his church last Sunday. He said the congregation loved it and sang along with enthusiasm. He also said he received many compliments from his fellow band members, who praised his creativity and talent.

"Dave is a genius," said drummer Mike Jones. "He took a boring old song and made it fresh and relevant. He really knows how to connect with the audience. And he only knows like 5 and a half chords! That's incredible."

O'Connor said he plans to continue his mission of improving classic hymns by adding bridges. He said he has already started working on his next project: a modern rendition of 'Be Thou My Vision' with a rap verse.

"I think it's going to be awesome," O'Connor said. "I can't wait to share it with the world."

April Atheists Day

Pictured: logo of the National Atheist Party (unaffiliated)  April Fools’ Day is a well-known tradition of pranking and joking around with friends and family. But did you know that it is also a holiday for atheists? That’s right, every year on April 1st, atheists celebrate their disbelief in God and mock the religious beliefs of others. According to some historians, April Fools’ Day originated from the medieval practice of changing the calendar from the Julian to the Gregorian system, which moved the start of the new year from March 25th to January 1st. Those who refused to accept the change or were unaware of it were called “April fools” and ridiculed by others. Some atheists claim that this date has now become a symbolic representation of their rejection of the Christian faith and its calendar.  May atheists now hold that April Fools’ Day has become a day of celebration and liberation from the tyranny and oppression of religion. They argue that religion is based on superstit...

Presbyterians Launch "Sprinkling Correction" Baptism Program Sources

Local Presbyterian Church Launches "Re-Baptism" Program to Correct Immersion Errors ANYTOWN, USA - In a controversial move, the First Presbyterian Church of Anytown has announced a new program to "re-baptize" members of the congregation who were previously baptized by immersion at other churches. "Immersion baptism is simply unbiblical," declared Reverend Percival Fitzwilliam, the senior pastor. "The true symbol of cleansing and renewal is the gentle sprinkling of water from above, not the violent dunking associated with judgment and death." Citing biblical references to the Great Flood, where the wicked were destroyed by being submerged in water, and the Egyptians who drowned in the Red Sea, Fitzwilliam argued that immersion represents a "baptism of condemnation" rather than salvation. "In contrast, the rain that fell on Noah's ark and the Israelites as they crossed the Red Sea was a symbol of God's blessing and purificati...
