THE UGLY TRUTH: PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT

HEADLINE: MIRACLES, MONSTERS & MASSIVE PLOT HOLES—RELIGION'S GREATEST HITS

BREAKING NEWS: Churches everywhere are remixing the rules and rewriting history, all while keeping a straight face. One minute, they're condemning witches and vampires to hell; the next, they're passing the collection plate and praying for water to turn into wine. If you're confused, you're not alone—so are half the pastors.

LIVE COVERAGE: Every denomination claims to have the "real truth," but let's be honest: most are just swapping out sins depending on who's in charge that week. Dancing is a sin—unless you tithe extra. Tattoos? Straight to hell. But gossip in the choir? That's just "fellowship." And don't even think about missing Sunday brunch with your mom, or you'll be sharing an afterlife suite with history's worst villains. All sins are equal, right? Hope you like your new roomie, Adolf.

SPECIAL REPORT: SUPERNATURAL SELECTIVE MEMORY

Let's talk about the Bible's "authenticity." People act like it's a first-person diary with zero government edits. Reality check: that book's had more rewrites than a Marvel movie script. Emperors and popes didn't just let peasants write what they wanted—they were slipping in rules left and right: "Obey authority," "Pay your taxes," "Don't question the guy in the fancy hat." Sounds less like divine inspiration, more like a medieval HR memo.

And the supernatural hypocrisy? Next-level. Churches love to roast anyone who believes in witchcraft, vampires, or anything "unholy"—but expect you to believe in virgin births, water-to-wine, walking on water, and raising the dead. If your neighbor claims they saw a vampire, they're off to hell. But if your pastor says a guy rose from the grave, it's called Easter Sunday.

URGENT UPDATE: MIRACLES FOR SOME, DAMNATION FOR OTHERS

Witchcraft: Condemned as evil, but prophets can perform magic tricks if they're in the right book.

Vampires: Denounced as demonic, but communion is literally drinking blood every Sunday—just with better PR.

Supernatural events: If it's in the Bible, it's a miracle. If it's anywhere else, it's heresy.

Meanwhile, churches split over carpet colors, but unite to judge anyone who doesn't fit the dress code. If Jesus came back today with the wrong look or paperwork, he'd be escorted out before the first hymn.

THE UGLY TRUTH: THE TAKEAWAY

From Catholics to Baptists, Pentecostals to Mormons, all denominations prove that the holiest thing about religion is the plot holes. Your supernatural beliefs are "demonic," but theirs are "divine miracles." And if you think all sins are equal, just remember: in their world, forgetting to text your mom and starting a world war get the same penalty.

That's the Ugly Truth. Pray about it—or cast a spell, if that's more your style.
