U.S. — Churches and other faith-based organizations across the country reported a sudden rise in people questioning their deeply held beliefs after the New York Yankees and Los Angeles Dodgers advanced to the World Series.
Pastors from every corner of the country warned of a fast-spreading crisis of faith that seemed to be sweeping through groups of even the most steadfast believers after they fell into the depths of despair when confronted with the dark reality of the upcoming Yankees-Dodgers series.
“Are you there, Lord? Why do you hide your face from your children?” wailed one San Diego Padres fan. “How long shall the wicked prosper? How long must the world watch the spread of evil? Yankees and Dodgers? Seriously? Where are you, O Lord?”
Other people throughout the nation expressed similar skepticism about the existence of a loving God. “If God is real, how do you explain this?” asked one angry Kansas City Royals fan. “If there really was a God, why do bad things happen to millions of baseball fans? Waking up this morning, after the Guardians and Mets failed to prevent this calamity, the world just seemed so much more gray and horrible. I’ve always believed God had a plan for good and righteousness to triumph… but this has me questioning everything.”
At publishing time, Calvary Chapel pastors around the country confirmed that the start of the Yankees-Dodgers World Series may, in fact, be the first sign that the Apocalypse was imminent.
