Debate Debacle: Postmillennialism Perishes as Politicians Prove Pessimists Right

Reformed Theologians Rush to Revise Rapture Timelines as Presidential Candidates Demonstrate Humanity's Downward Spiral

In a shocking turn of events, the latest presidential debate has left Reformed theologians scrambling to revise their eschatological views. Prominent postmillennialists were seen frantically burning their books and apologizing to their amillennial colleagues after witnessing the spectacle unfold on national television.

"I've spent decades arguing for the gradual Christianization of society," lamented Dr. Optimist VanHopeful. "But after seeing those two candidates bicker like toddlers over a juice box for 90 minutes, I'm convinced the world is actually getting worse by the second."

The debate, which featured more personal insults than policy discussions, has been hailed as the final nail in the coffin for postmillennial thought. Viewers reported feeling their faith in humanity actively eroding with each passing minute.

"I used to believe we were working towards Christ's kingdom on earth," sighed Pastor Sunny Disposition. "Now I'm pretty sure we're speedrunning the apocalypse."

Premillennialists, meanwhile, are experiencing a surge in popularity. "I hate to say I told you so," gloated Rev. Doom N. Gloom, "but the end times are clearly upon us. Who wants to buy my latest book on the Antichrist?"

As for the candidates themselves, both claimed victory in the debate, blissfully unaware that they had single-handedly disproven an entire theological position. At least some good came out of it after all.

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....
