June 6, 2017 by Andrew Hall
Reykjavik, Iceland This secular island country situated in the North Atlantic passed a law yesterday preventing white Southern Baptists from entering the country. Officials state that the United States of America is a country in turmoil and Southern Baptists are the ones mostly responsible. Atheist Iceland considers itself to be taking a stand for human rights by not tolerating foreign nationals who seek to undermine democracy.
The Reasoning Behind The White Southern Baptist Travel Ban
Four out of five white evangelicals voted for Trump in last years election, explained Professor Andrew Kannard of the Icelandic Institute. The government doesnt have an encyclopedic knowledge of all the sects that comprise evangelicism in the States. They just decided to start with the most toxic group.
There are 330,000 people living in Iceland. An overwhelming majority support the travel ban against white Southern Baptists. The country has deep roots in democracy. The nation is credited with having the first parliament back in 930. The public takes the Trumps administration jihad against voting rights, science, and anti-environmentalism seriously.
When asked how long the ban will last President Lars Bork quipped, I dont know. We have to take the time to figure this thing out.
American Responses
Upon receiving the news, Republicans immediately cried foul! The House Republicans are demanding that their cafeteria start carrying the Icelandic cultured dairy product skyr so that they can rename it Freedom Yogurt. Makers of the product dont really care what Americans call it as long as they pay a premium.
They can call it Mickey Mouses Butt-Hole, just keep sending the cash, joked one skyr exporter.
