The Miracle Enquirer
Sesational stories, sensational stories, get your sensational stories about religion, one dollar.... | |
Well, with a name like "The Miracle Enquirer" you can make up all sorts of sensational stories....
"Spaghetti Monster makes it rain manna for 7 days straight in cambodia.... starving folk are stockpiling as much as they can get and eating in abundance without getting fat."
"Buddhist sets himself
on fire and then continues to walk around unscathed.... later he tells reporters "well, this is certainly a miracle that I wasn't expecting to happen!"
"Witch on broomstick gets caught in the belly of a beluga jet engine and then comes out on the 'other side' .... says 'I don't want to use black magic anymore'."
"Atheist professor instantly devolves into a monkey after telling his classroom that humankind 'evolved from chimps'.... then the classroom errupted into laughter so professor chimpo started flinging spitwads at his students to make them stop."
"Crowd of people get mauled by voodoo zombies in jamaica, but 10 people were safely raptured up before they were attacked.... the pope ordered an army of angels to protect the rest of jamaica from any further attacks"
"Hindu avatar has figured out how to dissapear from existance, but has not mastered the art of reappearing.... experts confirm that he is indeed trapped in a state of purgatory, and that there is no way to get him out of there since Spaghetti Monster shut that place down during the dark ages."
"Statues of Ganesh, Shiva, and Durga miraculously drank milk that was offered to them in temples all around India.... this miraculous event spread to countries all over the world where statues everywhere started drinking milk. The following day, no statues were drinking anymore milk." Sep 21, 1995
"Nepal Airline sacrifices goats to appease Hindu sky god, Akash Bhairab, in order to protect their Boeing 757 aircraft from any further technical gremlins after an electrical problem was found to be at fault" Sep 4, 2007
....you name it, and virgin-mary sandwich eaters will eat it up! Dinosaur Adventure Land - Where Dinosaurs and the Bible Meet!
http://www.dinosauradventureland.com/ Dr. Hovin's "Creation Science Evangelism" has gone and built a "Dinosaur themed park with playgrounds, science demonstrations and science camp." all in the name of proper science, you understand. Apparently monkeys would never have thought of such a clever idea as creationism, so it must be true. [zen_tom, Jul 12 2007]

Manna. Hmm, interesting. Thanks for bringing that word to my attention. |
|

I feel slightly dumber now having got all that out of my system. |

I would have thought that venting this particular idea would have raised your IQ by at least a couple of points. |

The time, finally, for religomercials and religotainment has truly arrived - yay! |
|
| |
The National Enquirer isn't a million miles from this idea. |
|
| |
Baked - have you ever read the Old Testament? |
|
| |
And any segment on CNN featuring Sanja Gupta, or most of those with Larry King. |

[-] Just a new subject/flavor for a magazine. |

I'm starting to think there are probably enough real life "stories" out there so this magazine doesn't even have to make stuff up anymore! |
