satire mistaken for reality

[Thanks to Andrea for the nooze tip.]

The New Authorized Copernican Globalist Bible! It’s supposed to be a satire; but take it from me, I write satires: sometimes the satire turns out to be a little too close to home and a lot of people don’t recognize it as a satire.

Years ago, I wrote a satire featuring a New Utopian Translation of the Bible–‘the NUT Bible, for short. Unfortunately, a pastor out in Washington State took it for a real thing and delivered a sermon blasting it. But he had some questions for me, and got in touch with me to see if I could tell him where he could get a copy.

As I was explaining to him how I made it all up, as a satire, he suddenly asked, “Oh, no–what have I done?” An honest man, he accepted all the blame for delivering a sermon that had his congregation talking to themselves.

This “scientifically accurate” globalist hogwash (see the video) pokes fun at yo-yos who make an idol of Science and promise “a purified version” of the Bible. It’s really quite well done–and I guess that’s what went wrong with it.

I’ve been there myself.

Once upon a time it was satire; now it’s public policy.

I write a lot of satire, and every now and then a reader mistakes it for real news and gets upset over it. It’s gotten rather easy to make that mistake. And it’s gotten a lot harder to write satire… an in age which daily satirizes itself.

A Satirist’s Sighs

Really–what could a satirist ever make up, to equal the grotesque absurdity of some “non-binary” adult lecturing kindergarten children on the joys of “choosing your gender”? Eventually, for sure, Far Left Crazy will find a way to surpass even this; but for the satirist it’s knee-deep in the crick-mud.

God help us, today’s public policy is yesterday’s satire.
