Calvinists Worldwide Forced to Reboot After CrowdStrike Error

When your predestination.exe stops working and you realize you have to choose to restart

In a shocking turn of events that has rocked the Reformed community, Calvinists across the globe found themselves frozen in place yesterday, victims of what appears to be a critical error in their internal predestination software. The glitch, reportedly triggered by the recent CrowdStrike news, left thousands of Calvinists stuck mid-sentence, often with one finger raised in theological debate.

Elect Elites Scramble for Solutions

As news of the freeze spread, panic ensued among the elect. "We always knew we were chosen, but we didn't realize we were running on Windows 95," quipped a flustered John Piper lookalike, frantically trying to ctrl-alt-delete his way out of the situation.

Reformed seminaries quickly established emergency hotlines, fielding calls from concerned family members asking how to perform a hard reset on their loved ones. "Have you tried turning them off and on again?" became the day's most common piece of advice, closely followed by "Did you check if they're plugged in to the sovereignty socket?"

Arminians Seize Opportunity

Meanwhile, Arminian theologians couldn't help but gloat. "See? This is what happens when you think you're preprogrammed by God," chuckled one free will advocate. "They're so determined to prove they have no choice, they've turned themselves into actual robots!"

Some enterprising Arminians even set up "Free Will Clinics" outside frozen Calvinist gatherings, offering to "jailbreak" their predestined peers and install the latest version of webOS.

Calvinists, however have responded with the simple statement: "Error 404: Freewill not found."

TULIP.exe Not Responding

As the crisis deepened, reports emerged of Calvinists stuck in boot loops, endlessly reciting the five points of Calvinism. "Total Depravity, Unconditional Election, Limited Atonement, Irresistible Grace, Perseverance of the Saints... Total Depravity, Unconditional Election..." One observer noted, "It's like someone hit the shuffle button on TULIP, and now they can't stop."

Divine Intervention or Human Error?

While some saw the glitch as proof of divine sovereignty ("God clearly ordained this freeze for His glory!"), others wondered if it might be time to consider a more user-friendly theology. "Maybe we should switch to a more open-source belief system," suggested one young, hip Calvinist, before immediately freezing mid-thought.

As of press time, most Calvinists have been successfully rebooted, though some are still experiencing minor glitches, such as spontaneously shouting "Sola Scriptura!" at random intervals. Reformed leaders assure the faithful that this is all part of God's perfect plan, while simultaneously urging everyone to update their predestination software to the latest version, Romans 9.16.

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 ...
