More from The Onion:
One day, I overheard my coworker Sally talking on the phone about how much God had helped her through her recent divorce. She said she “saw the light” after just one night with Him. At first I kept thinking, “Is she talking about the same Savior?” The next Sunday, I followed her to an unfamiliar church on the edge of town and just sat in my car for a while in disbelief. I finally walked up to the front door, but before I could open it, I heard the unmistakable sounds of ecstatic praise coming from inside. There was no denying it. I’d caught Sally red-handed, making a joyful noise unto my own special Lord.
I was devastated. How could He do this to me? Here I had let Him into my soul in the most intimate way possible, and He had betrayed our personal bond by accepting the thanks and adulation of Sally, and God knows how many others as well. I was humiliated I ever let Him wash my soul in His blood in the first place.
