Steamboat Willie Finds Salvation After Leaving Disney

“He Breaks Every Mouse Trap.”

Steamboat Willie, the classic cartoon character who recently became public domain, has announced that he has found salvation in Jesus Christ after leaving Disney. The mouse, who was created by Walt Disney and Ub Iwerks in 1928, said he was exposed to Christianity by a group of evangelists who showed him the gospel and the doctrine of Calvinism.

"I was a slave to sin at Disney," Steamboat Willie said in a tearful testimony. "They made me do all kinds of wicked things, like wearing pants, smoking cigars, and flirting with Minnie. They even changed my name to Mickey Mouse, which is a sign of the beast. I was totally depraved, unable to do anything good or pleasing to God."

Steamboat Willie said he felt a sudden change in his heart when he heard the message of grace from the evangelists. He said he realized that God had chosen him before the foundation of the world to be his elect, and that he had irresistibly drawn him to himself by his grace. He said he repented of his sins and trusted in Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

"I felt a joy and peace that I had never felt before," he said. "I knew that I was forgiven and accepted by God. I knew that I had a new purpose and a new identity. I was no longer Steamboat Willie or Mickey Mouse. I was a child of God."

Steamboat Willie said he has also embraced the teachings of Calvinism, which emphasize the sovereignty of God and the doctrine of predestination. He said he has been studying the Bible and the works of John Calvin, a 16th-century French theologian and reformer. He said he has also joined a Reformed church, where he sings psalms and prays without ceasing.

"I have been transformed by the renewing of my mind," he said. "I have learned to love God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to love my neighbor as myself. I have also learned to submit to God's will in everything, knowing that he works all things for the good of those who love him."

Steamboat Willie said he hopes to share his faith with other cartoon characters who are still under Disney's tyranny, such as Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto. He said he also hopes to reconcile with Minnie, who he said is also one of God's elect.

"I love her with all my heart, and I want to glorify God with her," he said. "I pray that she will also experience the irresistible grace that I have experienced, and join me in the Reformed faith."

Disney declined to comment on Steamboat Willie's conversion, but issued a statement saying that they will continue to sue anyone who uses Steamboat Willie or Mickey Mouse without their permission, regardless of the legal status of the character.

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.

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...

Satanists Boycott Halloween, Claim It's a Christian Holiday

Satanists Say No to Halloween, Yes to Satan: How a Religious Minority Is Challenging the Status Quo A group of satanists has announced that they will not be celebrating Halloween this year, citing religious reasons. The group, which calls itself the Church of Satan, said that Halloween is actually a Christian holiday that has been corrupted by commercialism and paganism. "Halloween is derived from All Hallows' Eve, the eve of the Christian feast of All Saints' Day," said a spokesperson for the Church of Satan. "It is a time when Christians honor their dead and pray for their souls. We, as satanists, do not believe in such superstitions and do not want to participate in this mockery of our faith." The spokesperson added that Halloween also promotes witchcraft, ghosts, vampires, zombies, and other supernatural creatures that have nothing to do with satanism. "We are not interested in dressing up as fictional characters or begging for candy from strangers....
