Dusty Bible on Bookshelf Optimistic About 2024

“This Will Be My Year,” Bible Hopes



IRVINE, CA - As the year 2023 comes to an end, a dusty Bible on the bookshelf of the Smith family is hopeful that this next year will be the year that somebody actually keeps their New Year's resolution to read it.

The Bible, which was purchased in 2015 and has since been collecting dust on the top shelf of the living room, told reporters that it has witnessed many failed attempts by the Smiths to read it regularly.

"I remember the first time they brought me home. They were so excited and said they would read me every day. They even got a bookmark and a highlighter. But after a few weeks, they just forgot about me and left me here," the Bible said.

The Bible said that every year, around December or January, one of the Smiths would pick it up and flip through its pages, saying that they would make reading it a priority in the new year.

"They always say things like 'This year will be different' or 'I really need to get into the Word'. But then they get busy with work, school, Netflix, social media, and other things. And I just sit here, waiting for them to come back," the Bible said.

The Bible said that it has not given up hope, and that it believes that one day, the Smiths will realize how much they need it.

"I know they love me, deep down. They just don't know how to show it. But I'm patient and forgiving. I'm always here for them, whenever they need me. Maybe 2024 will be the year that they finally read me. I'm optimistic," the Bible said.

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...

Martin Luther’s Surprising Opening at the Diet of Worms: “I Grew Up In A Middle Class Family”

What He Could Be (Protestant), Unburdened By What Has Been (Rome) Worms, 1521 – Newly uncovered manuscripts reveal that Martin Luther's famous speech at the Diet of Worms began with an unexpected twist: "Let me start by saying that I grew up in a middle-class family." Luther's opening left the audience puzzled but intrigued. He quickly transitioned to his main argument, maintaining the fiery rhetoric we know today. "Here I stand, I can do no other," he declared, seamlessly blending his personal story with his defiance against the Church. Historians now see Luther's relatable approach as a clever tactic to connect with the common people. "By sharing his humble beginnings, Luther made his revolutionary ideas more accessible," said Dr. Hans Wurst, a Reformation scholar. As we commemorate the Diet of Worms, let's remember Luther not just as a reformer, but as a middle-class hero who knew how to captivate a crowd.
