Christian Man Claims He Doesn’t Need to go to Church

Man Claims He and God “Are Cool” and “Have an Understanding”



Bob was a Christian, but he hated going to church. He thought it was boring, tedious, and hypocritical. He preferred to stay at home on Sundays, watch TV, play video games, and order pizza. He didn't care about the sermons, the prayers, the hymns, or the rituals. He believed that he and God were "good", and that he didn't need to do anything else to please Him.


One Sunday morning, Bob's mother called him and asked him why he never went to church. She said that it was important to worship God, to fellowship with other believers, and to grow in faith. She said that God was not happy with Bob's lifestyle, and that he needed to repent and change his ways. She invited him to go to church with the rest of the family.


Bob rolled his eyes and said, "Mom, don't worry about me. I'm fine. God and I are good. We have a special relationship. He knows my heart. He knows that I love Him. He doesn't care if I go to church or not. He understands me. He's cool with me."


Bob's mother was shocked and appalled by Bob's words. She said, "Bob, you are deluding yourself. You are not good with God. You are disobeying His commands. You are neglecting His word. You are ignoring His voice. You are spurning His grace. You are living in sin. You are in danger of hell. You need to repent and turn back to God before it's too late."


Bob sighed and said, "Mom, you're being too dramatic. Relax. God is not like that. He's not angry with me. He's not judging me. He's not punishing me. He's not threatening me. He's loving me. He's forgiving me. He's blessing me. He's protecting me. He's smiling at me."


Bob's mother was speechless and saddened by Bob's words. She said, "Bob, I love you, but you are wrong. You are deceiving yourself. You are not following the true God. You are following a false god of your own imagination. You are making God in your own image. You are twisting God to suit your own desires. You are rejecting the real God who revealed Himself in the Bible and in Jesus Christ."


Bob laughed and said, "Mom, you're being too narrow-minded. Open your eyes. God is bigger than the Bible and Jesus Christ. God is everywhere and in everything. God is whatever you want Him to be. God is whatever makes you happy. God is whatever works for you."


Bob hung up the phone and turned on the TV.


He saw a breaking news report.


A massive earthquake had struck his city.


His house collapsed shortly after.


He died.


He should have gone to church.


The end.

Border Patrol Sends Steven Anderson to Armenia Over Misunderstanding

When Your Theological Flex Gets Lost in Translation Original image is Public Domain, courtesy of the United States Department of Homeland Security BORDER PATROL CHECKPOINT, AZ - In a bizarre twist of theological proportions, Pastor Steven Anderson's latest encounter with Border Patrol agents took an unexpected turn when he attempted to evangelize his way through a routine checkpoint. When asked about his citizenship, Anderson reportedly launched into an impromptu sermon, declaring, "I'm a citizen of Heaven, brother! Let me tell you about the Good News!" As the bemused agent tried to detain him, Anderson proclaimed, "You can't detain me! I'm free to believe because I'm Arminian!" 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...
