NASHVILLE, TN—America's largest Evangelical denomination is meeting in Nashville this week to debate and vote on important matters of the church-- including whether women can be pastors, which casserole is best, who is a racist, and whether or not to add Robin Diangelo's book White Fragility to the canon of inspired scripture.
"Robin Diangelo's masterful work addressed issues that our Bibles really missed," said voting member Bob Oblob. "It filled a very big hole in Christian theology that needed to be filled. The only possible explanation is that it was divinely inspired."
"Yeah, the Apostle Paul really blew it," said another member. "Not only was he a white misogynist who condemned women pastors, but he also completely failed to address the central gospel issue of dismantling systemic racism. What were you thinking, Paul?"
"We need to be clear," said Oblob. "We do not support Critical Race Theory. We simply support the idea that our theology is systemically racist against oppressed minorities who experience oppression in different intersectional ways, that the main imperative of the church in this century is to liberate oppressed minorities from our cultural hegemony, and that we must decolonize our teaching of scripture and also dismantle the West. That has nothing to do with Critical Race Theory."
All eyes will be on the convention this week as people wonder whether the SBC will continue to thrive for years to come, or whether they're just a couple of decades behind the Methodists.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
