SATIRE: Adventist Claims to Be “Above Politics” While Posting 47 Political Memes During Sabbath Hours
Local church member Bradley Thompson declared himself “completely above worldly political matters” last Sabbath while simultaneously sharing dozens of political memes between sunset Friday and sunset Saturday.
“I don’t get involved in politics because my citizenship is in heaven,” Thompson posted at 11:43 PM Friday night, immediately followed by a meme comparing various political candidates to characters from the Great Controversy.
Throughout the sacred hours, Thompson maintained his spiritual superiority by sharing content including:
- 12 memes about the National Sunday Law
- 15 posts about voting patterns and prophecy
- 8 Ellen White quotes taken out of context to support political views
- 7 conspiracy theory infographics with Bible texts
- 5 posts declaring his political neutrality
“I just think it’s important to stay focused on spiritual things during Sabbath,” Thompson commented, while furiously typing another post about how the latest Supreme Court decision fulfills prophecy.
Fellow church members report that Thompson spent most of the divine service scrolling through political content on his phone, only looking up occasionally to say “Amen” during particularly fiery sermon points about end-time events.
