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.

Christian Pacifists Reinterpret Romans 13 After Tragic Animal Incidents

Fred and Peanut Become Latest Mascots for Justice In a surprising twist, Christian pacifists have taken a page from the revolutionary Presbyterians' book by reinterpreting Romans 13, following the tragic demise of Fred the squirrel and Peanut the raccoon at the hands of government officials. These furry martyrs have sparked a theological debate, as pacifists now argue that Romans 13 supports civil disobedience against unjust state actions. Fred and Peanut, beloved local mascots, were allegedly "neutralized" for causing minor disruptions in a public park. Their untimely deaths have become a rallying cry for pacifists, who argue that the state's actions were neither just nor necessary. In response, pacifists assert that Romans 13, traditionally seen as a call to obey governing authorities, actually mandates resistance when the state acts contrary to God's will. They emphasize Paul's call to "overcome evil with good" (Romans 12:21) as a directive to ch...

Men Named "David" More Likely to Suffer Identity Crisis

Matt Chandler, the lead pastor of Southern Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, has shot to the evangelical spotlight in after preaching a sermon in which he proclaims that "You're not David!" to an unsuspecting captive audience. In doing so, however, he inadvertently caused a mass identity crisis among an unlikely, oddly-specific demographic: people who actually are named "David." One person, who commented on the condition of anonymity, said: "I've been called David my whole life. Now that I've been told I'm not David, I don't even know who I am anymore. I've started going by my middle name, but nobody's ever called me "Matthew" before and it's really taking some getting used to. My children look at me like I'm a stranger. My wife says she feels like she's sleeping with another man. I feel like a stranger in my own skin. I'm having an identity crisis. What do I do? We reached out to a local counselor for ...
