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 challenge unjust state actions peacefully.

Inspired by Fred and Peanut's sacrifice, pacifists are organizing peaceful protests and urging Christians to reinterpret Romans 13 as a call for nonviolent resistance against unjust governance. As one pacifist leader quipped, "If Fred and Peanut could stand up to tyranny, so can we!"

Baptists Cancel Outdoor Service Due to Rain Threat

Baptists Cancel Outdoor Service Due to Rain Threat A local Baptist church has decided to cancel its planned outdoor service this Sunday due to the forecast of rain. The pastor of the church, Rev. Joe Jones, said that he did not want to risk exposing his congregation to the wet weather, which could have dire consequences for their spiritual health. "We believe that baptism is a personal decision that should only be made by those who have professed their faith in Jesus Christ," Jones said. "We do not practice infant baptism, unlike our Presbyterian neighbors, who sprinkle water on their babies as a sign of the covenant." Jones explained that he feared that if his church members got wet from the rain, they might inadvertently become Presbyterians, which would be a tragedy for their souls. "Presbyterians believe in predestination, which means that God has already determined who will be saved and who will be damned," Jones said. "They also have a hierarchy...

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...
