The Death of Christian Satire

How Memes Killed the Art of Subtle Humor



Christian satire is a form of humor that uses irony and exaggeration to criticize the absurdities of Christianity and its culture. It is a witty and creative art that reveals a deeper truth. However, Christian satire is dying because of memes.

Memes are short and crude images or videos that are shared online, usually with a funny or sarcastic caption. They are easy to make and consume, but they are shallow and superficial. They rely on stereotypes and oversimplifications, and they are often offensive and divisive. They appeal to the masses who have short attention spans and low standards for humor.

Many Christians have stopped reading or writing Christian satire, and have started sharing or liking memes instead. They no longer challenge their beliefs or assumptions, but confirm their biases and opinions. They no longer enjoy the subtle humor that enriches their faith and culture, but settle for the mediocrity of memes that erodes their intellect and character.

This is a sad and tragic situation for Christianity and its followers. Christian satire is not just a genre of humor, but a way of life that encourages Christians to be humble, honest, and open-minded. It is a gift from God that helps Christians to grow in wisdom, grace, and love.

But there is still hope for Christian satire. There are still some faithful satirists who produce quality content. There are still some discerning readers who appreciate the humor and insight. There are still some courageous Christians who dare to question their own beliefs and practices. There are still some lovers of art who value the beauty and power of subtle humor.

If you are one of them, then you are not alone. You are part of a movement that is keeping Christian satire alive in this dark and dismal age. You are part of a revolution that is reclaiming the glory of Christian satire in this meme-dominated culture.

But you must not be silent or passive. You must be vocal and active. You must read more Christian satire. You must write more Christian satire. You must share more Christian satire. You must support more Christian satire. You must defend more Christian satire.

You must save Christian satire.

Before it's too late.

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...
