Church Converts to Communism After Test Exposes Red Sympathizers

Rapture of the Reds: Entire Church Converts to Communism After Denominational Test



DAMASCUS, VA - In a shocking turn of events that has rocked the Christian world, every single member of the First Baptist Church of Damascus has converted to communism after taking a denominational test designed to help them find their theological leanings.

The trouble began when Pastor Jim Bob Cooter introduced a new "Spiritual Enneagram" test during last Sunday's service. Designed to match congregants with their ideal Christian denomination, the test instead revealed that every member's beliefs aligned perfectly with the CCP's Three Self Patriotic Movement - a state-sanctioned sect of Christianity in China that requires churches to adhere to strict communist doctrine.

"I just can't believe it," said a visibly shaken Cooter. "One minute we were all good God-fearing Baptists, and the next we're a bunch of Mao-worshipping reds! I thought at worst maybe we'd get some Presbyterians or Anglicans in the bunch, but full-blown communists? The Lord works in extremely mysterious ways."

Within hours of the test results, the transformation was complete. The church was re-named the People's Baptist Cathedral, and its classic Georgian architecture had been hastily renovated with drab brutalist concrete slabs. Stained glass windows depicting biblical scenes were covered over with portraits of Marx, Lenin, and Mao. And the choir loft was occupied by goose-stepping young pioneers preparing to provide musical accompaniment to the day's first round of self-criticisms.

"I used to believe in the sanctity of private property and free enterprise," said former Sunday School teacher Miriam Wilcox while struggling to keep her Mao book bag from falling open and spilling its contents of Little Red Books and pictures of Xi Jinping onto the floor. "But now I understand that those were just tools of the bourgeois oppressors. From each according to their ability, to each according to their need - that's what the Lord teaches us."

When asked about potential conflicts between Christianity and Marxist-Leninist philosophy, Cooter remained steadfastly positive. "Well, you've got to break a few eggs to make an omelet. There are certainly some theological gaps to bridge between our new ideology and scripture. But if you look at it through a hermeneutic of Marxist literary analysis, you'll see that the core message is the same - uplift the poor and oppressed and seize the means of production from the wealthy. That's just what Jesus was getting at with all those 'Blessed are the meek' sayings."

Skeptics who believed the mass conversion was a Chinese psy-op were initially branded "conspiracy theorists" and threatened with being sent to Xinjiang camps. However, in a surprising twist, those skeptics were instead offered lucrative jobs at Nike and Apple assembly lines, where they could put their industrious communist values into practice by toiling long hours for the greater good of the Party. They have not been heard from since, allegedly due to all of the generous opportunities to work overtime.

At publishing time, the newly re-branded People's Baptist Cathedral had announced the launch of a 5-year plan to increase the production of casseroles by 10,000%.

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....
