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.

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....
