Piper Rebukes Driscoll, Defends Stripper Sword-Swallower

Piper Defends Male Strippers from Driscoll, Says Faith is "Erotic to the Core"

MINNEAPOLIS, MN - In a surprising turn of events, prominent evangelical leader John Piper has come out in defense of male strippers, arguing that their profession is a valid expression of Christian spirituality.

The controversy began when fellow pastor Mark Driscoll condemned male strippers as "ungodly" and "a threat to the moral fabric of society." Driscoll's comments sparked outrage among some in the Christian community, including Piper, who quickly rushed to the defense of the much-maligned exotic dancers.

"Mark Driscoll clearly has a very narrow and repressed view of human sexuality," Piper told reporters. "As I've said many times, the Christian faith is erotic to the core. God created us as sexual beings, and that includes the male stripper."

Piper went on to cite the "Song of Songs" as biblical evidence that God delights in human sensuality and eroticism. "The Bible is full of passionate, sensual language - 'Your breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle' - this is the word of the Lord!" Piper exclaimed. "Who are we to say that male strippers aren't expressing the full, God-given glory of human sexuality?"

The 78-year-old theologian then proceeded to strip off his suit jacket and tie, flexing his biceps for the assembled journalists. "This is what it means to be a real man of God," Piper said, gyrating his hips suggestively. "Driscoll and his ilk are afraid of their own bodies and desires. But not me - I'm embracing the erotic core of my faith!"

Piper's unexpected defense of male strippers has divided the evangelical community, with some praising his "sex-positive" theology and others condemning him as a heretic. Driscoll, for his part, has refused to comment, reportedly holed up in his study furiously writing a new book on the evils of "stripper culture."

As for the male strippers themselves, many have expressed gratitude for Piper's support. "It's nice to finally have a prominent Christian leader recognize the spiritual value of our work," said one exotic dancer who goes by the stage name "Thor." "Maybe now people will stop looking at us like we're the spawn of Satan."

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...

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 ...
