Local Man's Theology Corrected by New Glasses

“I was blind, but now I see…just how bad my theology was!” man exclaims

In a surprising turn of events, local man Bob Smith discovered that his theology was in dire need of correction—thanks to a new pair of reading glasses. After years of misinterpreting Scripture, Bob's new lenses allowed him to read the Bible clearly for the first time.

"I always thought 'God helps those who help themselves' was in there somewhere," Bob confessed. "Turns out, it's not! And that's just the tip of the iceberg."

Bob's newfound clarity has led to a complete overhaul of his beliefs, particularly those influenced by popular pastors and trendy theological ideas. He was shocked to discover that many catchphrases he'd accepted as biblical truth were actually misinterpretations or not in Scripture at all.

"I used to nod along when pastors talked about God being a gentleman who won't violate our free will," Bob chuckled. "But now I see that doesn't really align with how God intervenes in the Bible. And don't get me started on all those catchy sermon titles that aren't actually scriptural!"

As Bob delved deeper into his newly legible Bible, he found himself questioning concepts he'd long taken for granted, like libertarian free will and the idea that God's blessings are conditional while His love is unconditional.

"It's amazing what you can see when you actually read the text," Bob said. "I feel like I've been given a new pair of spiritual eyes. I guess I need to be more careful about swallowing every catchy phrase from the pulpit!"

Bob's experience serves as a humorous reminder of the importance of reading Scripture carefully and critically. His new glasses didn't just correct his vision—they corrected his theology. As he continues to explore the Bible with his improved eyesight, Bob is excited to see what other truths he might uncover.

In the end, Bob's story is a testament to the power of clear vision—both physical and spiritual. "Who knew that a simple pair of glasses could shake up my entire belief system?" Bob mused. "I wonder if my optometrist realizes he's in the business of theological correction!"

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 ...
