Lesbian Bishop’s Prayer Interrupted by John Knox Wielding a Trumpet

A Trump Blaring over Women - Nothing New

WASHINGTON, D.C.—A solemn prayer service at the National Cathedral took a surreal turn Tuesday when Bishop Mariann Budde’s sermon was abruptly drowned out by the blaring of a spectral trumpet. The sound, described by attendees as “otherworldly,” was followed by the faint apparition of a stern man in 16th-century garb, pacing near the pulpit.

Bishop Budde, reportedly paused, glanced upward, and resumed her prayer unfazed. “Even in death, some men just can’t handle female leadership,” she later joked to reporters.

While the figure did not speak, murmurs spread through the crowd as some attendees speculated it was none other than John Knox, the fiery Scottish reformer. The connection to his infamous treatise, “The First Blast of the Trumpet Against the Monstruous Regiment of Women,” was quickly made by historians and theology buffs alike. A witness later described the scene as “chaotic yet oddly theological.”

However, the real twist came when Donald Trump weighed in on the incident. “I’ve always said I know good Trumps,” Trump remarked. “John Knox? Great guy. Tremendous trumpeter. He knew how to silence the competition—just like me, folks. Believe me, nobody blasts better than us Trumps!”

The bishop, unruffled, reportedly muttered, “At least he’s not on Twitter.”

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....
