Man’s Life-Work of Arguing Theology on The Internet to be Rewarded in Heaven

Heaven's Social Media Rewards Program Confirmed by Near-Death Vision

PEARLY GATES, HEAVEN - In a shocking revelation that is sure to shake up the theology world, local man Darren Lumbergh claims he experienced a vivid near-death vision that confirmed his life's work of arguing theology on Facebook will be handsomely rewarded in the afterlife.

According to Lumbergh, after a freak gasoline fight accident, he temporarily left his body and was transported to the gates of Heaven itself. There, a glowing angelic being was waiting with a radiant smile and an iPad displaying Lumbergh's comprehensive Facebook history.

"The angel was literally glowing with divine effervescence," recounted Lumbergh, still visibly shaken by the experience. "He told me 'Well done, good and faithful servant' and showed me a tally of every time I ruthlessly demolished a heretic with iron-clad logic in a Facebook comment thread."

The angel then revealed that Lumbergh's heavenly rewards would include an eternal infinity pool full of liquid Scripture, a Lay-Z-Boy recliner made from the clouds themselves, and most impressively, a Verified Disciple badge to wear on his glowing robe.

"I was also told that for every minor theological point I stubbornly argued and refused to concede, I would receive a new mansion made of ethereal crystal and staffed by 70 celestial virgins to endlessly validate my opinions," Lumbergh added.

When asked if he had any regrets about dedicating most of his waking hours over the past 15 years to ferociously arguing the finer points of predestination and biblical inerrancy with strangers on social media, Lumbergh shook his head adamantly.

"Not a single one. My relentless crusade of logic and truth on Facebook has guaranteed my name will be written in the Lamb's Book of Life in BOLD CAPS."

Sources indicate that since his near-death vision, Lumbergh has increased his daily Facebook arguments by 500% in hopes of unlocking the "Platinum Heavenly Influencer" reward tier.

Dave Ramsey Flags Reformation Heritage Books as “Spiritual Treasure, Budgetary Trap”

Financial guru says the Puritans are great, but maxing out your credit card for a 12‑volume set on covenant theology is not a “baby step.” NASHVILLE — Personal finance icon Dave Ramsey has reportedly issued a pointed caution to Christians everywhere: Reformation Heritage Books is a spiritual danger to your budget, and one careless click on “Complete Works of John Owen” could slide you straight back into the “debt spiral” he has spent decades trying to prevent. According to sources familiar with the matter, the warning came during a segment on “biblically responsible spending,” when a caller asked whether it was wise to purchase a multi‑volume set of Reformed classics on a credit card. “Look,” Ramsey reportedly replied, “I love the Puritans. I love deep theology. I do not love you going into debt for a book you will read six pages of before you fall asleep.” Ramsey’s team is said to have flagged Reformation Heritage Books not because the content is bad, but because the catalog is long, ...

Church Sound Tech Gets Doom Running On Sanctuary Soundboard

Volunteer says the game is fully contained on the mixer’s tiny touchscreen and has not affected worship, apart from the pastor’s microphone now occasionally displaying “God Mode.” CEDAR GROVE, USA — A Reformed church’s sound technician briefly became the most popular member of the media team Sunday after successfully getting the original Doom to run on the sanctuary’s digital soundboard. The game remained entirely on the console’s maintenance screen, church leaders confirmed, and no imagery or game audio was played through the sanctuary speakers. The soundboard still delivered the sermon, psalms, Scripture reading, and announcements normally—provided nobody pressed the newly labeled button marked DO NOT ENABLE GOD MODE DURING CALL TO WORSHIP. Doom, released by id Software in 1993, became both a landmark first-person shooter and a longstanding target for technical hobbyists who enjoy making it run on improbable hardware. Digital audio mixers are also common in worship settings, whe...

Bethel Music Out, “Reign in Worship” Begins In a shocking turn of events, the popular Christian worship duo Shane and Shane responded to the public backlash and have announced that they are canceling their planned collaboration with Bethel music, citing "creative differences" and "theological concerns". Instead, they have revealed that they are partnering with the legendary thrash metal band Slayer for a new album and tour. "We feel that Slayer is a better fit for our vision and message," said Shane Barnard, one half of the duo. "They are passionate, authentic, and not afraid to challenge the status quo.

Shane Everett, the other half of the duo, added: "We have always admired Slayer's musical prowess and lyrical depth. They are masters of their craft and have influenced generations of metalheads. We are honored to join forces with them...
