Local Man Rejects Gospel After Witnessing Theology Debate

"I came for the memes, stayed for the confusion."

Winchester, CA – In a surprising turn of events, local man Bob "The Bystander" Johnson has officially declared his disbelief in the Gospel, citing a recent encounter with a heated theological debate on Facebook as the final straw.

Bob, who admits he has never been particularly interested in religious matters, found himself inadvertently caught in the crossfire of a theological showdown between two fervent Christians on a Facebook thread. The debate, which lasted approximately three hours and involved terms like "eschatology," "soteriology," and "transubstantiation," left Bob more confused than enlightened.

"I was just scrolling through my feed," Bob explained. "Next thing I know, I'm knee-deep in a discussion about predestination versus free will. I didn't even know what those words meant, but they sure sounded important."

The two debaters, identified as Pastor Paul "The Preacher" Peterson and Deacon Dave "The Doctrine Defender" Daniels, were locked in a virtual duel that would make even the most seasoned theologian's head spin. Eyewitnesses report that the argument covered a range of topics, from the nature of the Trinity to the proper interpretation of the Book of Revelation.

"I tried to follow along," Bob confessed. "But every time I thought I understood something, they'd throw in another term like 'hermeneutics' or 'exegesis.' It was like watching a tennis match where the ball is invisible."

Despite his best efforts to comprehend the discussion, Bob ultimately decided that the bickering was enough to solidify his stance on religion. "If this is what believing in the Gospel entails, count me out," he declared. "I mean, if they can't agree on what they believe, how am I supposed to?"

Pastor Paul and Deacon Dave, meanwhile, have reportedly agreed to disagree and are now planning a follow-up debate on the finer points of ecclesiology. Bob, however, has vowed to steer clear of any future theological discussions, opting instead for a quiet life of memes and cat videos.

In related news, Facebook has announced a new policy: "No Theology Debates Allowed." The management hopes this will prevent any further incidents of accidental enlightenment.

Piper Defends Male Strippers from Driscoll, Says Faith is "Erotic to the Core" MINNEAPOLIS, MN - In a surprising turn of events, prominent evangelical leader John Piper has come out in defense of male strippers, arguing that their profession is a valid expression of Christian spirituality. The controversy began when fellow pastor Mark Driscoll condemned male strippers as "ungodly" and "a threat to the moral fabric of society." Driscoll's comments sparked outrage among some in the Christian community, including Piper, who quickly rushed to the defense of the much-maligned exotic dancers. "Mark Driscoll clearly has a very narrow and repressed view of human sexuality," Piper told reporters. "As I've said many times, the Christian faith is erotic to the core. God created us as sexual beings, and that includes the male stripper." Piper went on to cite the "Song of Songs" as biblical evidence that God delights in human sensu

Christian Man Denounces All Holidays as Pagan, Celebrates Nothing

Even the Calendar Comes From Pagans, Man Declares A Christian man from San Diego, California, has declared that he will not celebrate any holiday, not even his own birthday, because they are all pagan and sinful. John Bradfield, 45, says he has been studying the Bible and history for years and has come to the conclusion that every holiday is an abomination in the eyes of God. "I don't celebrate Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Thanksgiving, Valentine's Day, or any other holiday," Bradfield said. "They are all based on pagan traditions and rituals that have nothing to do with Christianity. They are all corrupted by Satan and his minions. Even my birthday is pagan, because it's based on the solar calendar, which was invented by pagans. I only follow the biblical calendar, which is based on the lunar cycles." Bradfield says he spends his days reading the Bible, praying, and preaching to others about the evils of holidays. He says he has no friends or family,
