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.”

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...

Men Named "David" More Likely to Suffer Identity Crisis

Matt Chandler, the lead pastor of Southern Village Church in Flower Mound, Texas, has shot to the evangelical spotlight in after preaching a sermon in which he proclaims that "You're not David!" to an unsuspecting captive audience. In doing so, however, he inadvertently caused a mass identity crisis among an unlikely, oddly-specific demographic: people who actually are named "David." One person, who commented on the condition of anonymity, said: "I've been called David my whole life. Now that I've been told I'm not David, I don't even know who I am anymore. I've started going by my middle name, but nobody's ever called me "Matthew" before and it's really taking some getting used to. My children look at me like I'm a stranger. My wife says she feels like she's sleeping with another man. I feel like a stranger in my own skin. I'm having an identity crisis. What do I do? We reached out to a local counselor for ...
