SATIRE
Published: March 30, 2026
JERUSALEMIn an effort to soften the blow for a human race eagerly awaiting His glorious arrival, Jesus Christ, the Son of God, clarified Monday that His return would be strictly limited to His carpentry business. While I will soon appear once more upon the earthly realm, My sole focus during this Second Coming will be various woodworking projects and not the establishment of a messianic kingdom, said Christ, the Light of the World, adding that He was looking forward to finishing the walnut kitchen island He had set aside for His martyrdom two millennia ago.
I realize many of you were looking forward to Me performing various miracles and casting Satan into a lake of fire, but I honestly cant wait to spend My time building bookshelves, artisanal cabinets, and handcrafted chess setsyou cant get that perfect rosewood for the pieces in heaven. We didnt have power tools in Galilee back in the day, so Im also excited to find out what I can accomplish with a band saw and a router, even if the righteous will, unfortunately, not be resurrected. The King of Kings went on to request that His followers not pray to Him unless they were potential clients reaching out for an estimate.

(27,724 posts)14. I no longer consider myself a Christian, but the teachings of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament are all about
helping and protecting the poor, the helpless and the disabled. Extremist conservatives have tried to hijack Christianity to justify crimes of humanity that Jesus never condoned. He wanted us to accept immigrants and stranger into our homes if they need help. I know this is supposed to be an amusing satire or parody, but I see it as justifying the right wing attacks on the love, mercy and forgiveness Jesus preached. I suggest we focus on love rather than hate.
