LOS ANGELES, CA—Religious people in Southern California have found a bold, creative solution for in-person meetings in spite of the continuing lockdown. This past weekend, several area churches attended church services disguised as righteously indignant rioters.
"We already have the righteous indignation thing down," said one church elder. "Now, we've simply added black balaclavas, hoodies, Guy Fawkes masks, and baseball bats! We found that when we do this, we can meet in large groups without much interference from the local authorities. It's been a delightful experience."
Leaders from Spirit-River In The City Church in LA County are reporting a successful Sunday service after using this method. Churchgoers were given bricks and fake Molotov cocktails before they surrounded the church with menacing looks on their faces. Several deacons then smashed some church windows to make the riot look more realistic. Unfortunately, onlookers grew suspicious when the massive group of rioters broke out into a round of the smash-hit worship song "Reckless Life Engulfment." Some of the attendees were forced to stage brawls in order to keep up appearances.
According to sources, some churchgoers in the area are planning to continue wearing masks to church even after the lockdown has ended in order to hide their identities from Hollywood directors and producers.
That’s hysterical! It’s the element of truth that does it..
These days, when I think it’s the Babylon Bee it’s real, and when I think it’s real it’s the Babylon Bee.
Heh, heh. Yeah, but setting the church on fire is taking it a little too far.
Almost like the story about how the ACLU defended the Neo-Nazis in where they burned down the ACLU headquarters.
The Bee has some excellent writers right now.
They didn’t set the church on fire.....just broke a window and pretended to brawl. On the other hand this BB article is all about fire....er I mean love.

An interesting idea ;)
The Bee stings again!
That was the best ever! Very believable.
I now have to go back up and confirm it’s the Bee once or twice!
Me too. That headline is not far-fetched in the least.
Love it!
The Bee scores again.
Thank you for not adding /satire in the title.
Makes it more fun.
ROFL!!!
Wet your pants funny.
