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.

Pride: Remembering Sodom & Gomorrah

Sodom and Gomorrah: The Original Pride Parade Gone Wrong As the calendar turns to June, rainbow flags and glitter will soon blanket city streets worldwide to celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride Month. But before you head out to party, let's take a moment to reflect on the very first recorded Pride parade that didn't go quite as planned - the ill-fated cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. For those rusty on their biblical history, Sodom and Gomorrah were neighboring municipalities around the Dead Sea renowned for their hospitality and...other proclivities. When two angels visited the cities incognito, the residents rolled out the welcome mat in a manner that would make modern swingers blush. Lot, a seemingly chill dude who just wanted to mind his own business, tried to protect the angels from the amorous townsfolk. But despite his pleas to "not act wickedly," the cities' citizens continued to pursue their unconventional interests with gusto befitting their reputation as the original ...

To Protect Last Political Allies from Trump, Biden Pardons Pilate, the Sanhedrin

Critics Say Presidential Clemency 2,000 Years Too Late In a shocking twist of historical revisionism, President Biden has issued a last-minute presidential pardon for Pontius Pilate and the Sanhedrin, effectively settling a 2,000-year-old legal dispute. The unprecedented move comes as Biden clears his presidential desk, seemingly determined to resolve theological legal matters that have been pending since the first century. "Sometimes, you've got to wash your hands of ancient history—literally," Biden reportedly quipped, making a clear reference to Pilate's infamous hand-washing gesture. The pardon documents hilariously cite "administrative oversight" and "bureaucratic complications" as primary reasons for the belated legal clemency. Religious scholars and historians are bewildered, with one anonymous theologian remarking, "Well, that's one way to end a presidency—by retroactively solving a crucifixion controversy." The White House pr...
