Calvinists Admit They Don't Actually Understand Calvinism

Shocking Revelation Rocks the Reformed Community

GRAND RAPIDS, MI - In a stunning turn of events, leaders within the Calvinist community have come forward to admit that they, in fact, do not truly understand the theological system they so ardently defend.

"It's true, we don't get it," said Pastor Jeremiah Hardline, a prominent figure in the Reformed world. "If we really grasped the full implications of Calvinism, we'd all be Arminians by now."

The admission came during a closed-door meeting of the International Council of the Truly Reformed, where attendees reportedly spent several hours scratching their heads and murmuring, "Wait, what?"

"The more we tried to explain it, the more confused we got," lamented Dr. Ulysses Van Predestination, Dean of the Institute for Irresistible Grace. "We realized that the only way someone could genuinely understand Calvinism is if they didn't believe in it."

Insiders say the stunning revelation has sent shockwaves through the Reformed community, with many prominent Calvinists now quietly reconsidering their theological positions.

"I'm starting to think maybe we should just go back to being Lutherans," said one attendee, who spoke on condition of anonymity. "At least they seem to have a grasp on what they believe."

At press time, a growing number of Calvinists were seen wandering the streets, muttering, "Totally depraved? More like totally bewildered."

April Atheists Day

Pictured: logo of the National Atheist Party (unaffiliated) April Fools’ Day is a well-known tradition of pranking and joking around with friends and family. But did you know that it is also a holiday for atheists? That’s right, every year on April 1st, atheists celebrate their disbelief in God and mock the religious beliefs of others. According to some historians, April Fools’ Day originated from the medieval practice of changing the calendar from the Julian to the Gregorian system, which moved the start of the new year from March 25th to January 1st. Those who refused to accept the change or were unaware of it were called “April fools” and ridiculed by others. Some atheists claim that this date has now become a symbolic representation of their rejection of the Christian faith and its calendar. May atheists now hold that April Fools’ Day has become a day of celebration and liberation from the tyranny and oppression of religion. They argue that religion is based on superstit...

Presbyterians Launch "Sprinkling Correction" Baptism Program Sources

Local Presbyterian Church Launches "Re-Baptism" Program to Correct Immersion Errors ANYTOWN, USA - In a controversial move, the First Presbyterian Church of Anytown has announced a new program to "re-baptize" members of the congregation who were previously baptized by immersion at other churches. "Immersion baptism is simply unbiblical," declared Reverend Percival Fitzwilliam, the senior pastor. "The true symbol of cleansing and renewal is the gentle sprinkling of water from above, not the violent dunking associated with judgment and death." Citing biblical references to the Great Flood, where the wicked were destroyed by being submerged in water, and the Egyptians who drowned in the Red Sea, Fitzwilliam argued that immersion represents a "baptism of condemnation" rather than salvation. "In contrast, the rain that fell on Noah's ark and the Israelites as they crossed the Red Sea was a symbol of God's blessing and purificati...
