Vice President Mike Pence attacking God for being disappointed that he was never asked to sacrifice his children was political satire. Rather, the satirical story is mocking Pences religious beliefs by suggesting that he was upset that God never asked him to sacrifice one of his children much like Abraham offering his son Isaac as a sacrifice before being stopped.

After Isaac is bound to an altar, the angel of God stops Abraham at the last minute, saying now I know you fear God. Where did this satire originate? The Onion published an article reporting that characteristically devout Pence lamented the fact God had never called upon him to sacrifice one of his own children. In that fake story, Pence admits that he has a grandchild he is willing to sacrifice.

Saying he would surely rise to the occasion if tasked by the Almighty with the ultimate test of faith, Vice President Mike Pence said that he was disappointed that God has never called upon him to kill one of his own children. Its just heartbreaking that the Lord hasnt summoned me once to show my dedication to Him by sacrificing one of my precious kids, said Pence, telling reporters that he has spent years waiting for any sign at all from the Heavenly Father that he should ritually slaughter one of his three children. Theyre grown now, so Im starting to think Ill never get the chance to offer the blood of any of them to prove my unshakable devotion. Heck, Id put all three on an altar if thats what He wanted. Pence added that he would nevertheless keep a sharp dagger at the ready in the unlikely event God someday asks him to kill one of his grandchildren.

Although most social media users recognize The Onion as one of the more popular sites for satirical humor, there are still those that believe and share these types of fake stories as real. But, rest assured, no such story actually happened and is being shared by the mainstream media.

Pence, who was raised Catholic, turned toward evangelical Christianity when he was in college and has made no secret of how cultural issues have shaped his politics. He was one of the most outspoken foes of abortion rights and same-sex marriage when he was in Congress. And as Indianas governor, he became engulfed in controversy after he signed legislation allowing the states business owners to deny services to gay, lesbian and transgender people for religious reasons, according to The New York Times.

In other news, for the first time since the spring of 2008, the Senate was deadlocked 50-50, on a vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as education secretary, and Pence cast his first vote in the Senate after two of the 52 Republicans joined all 48 members of the Democratic caucus in voting against the nominee.
