Christians are known for many things, but the ability to poke fun at themselves probably isn’t one of them. Just because Christians take their faith seriously doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be able to step back and have a good laugh every now and then.

These five Christian parody Twitter accounts are doing just that—showing us, in 140 characters or less, the value of being able to laugh at yourself:

Probably the most popular of them all is the always-cranky, equally hilarious Church Curmudgeon account. (The bio of which reads, “It ain’t the way it used to be, I’ll tell you that.”) With 87.3K followers and an impeccable avatar, @ChrchCurmudgeon is that crotchety old Baptist churchgoer we all know and…tolerate:

And then on the complete opposite side of the churchgoer spectrum, you have the Christian Hipster account (74.7K followers), which is absolutely everything Church Curmudgeon—and, really, the rest of us—complains about. This one speaks for itself:

The Babylon Bee is more than a Twitter account—it’s actually an entire site dedicated to Christian news satire. And it’s so worth following. Nothing is off limits here—The Babylon Bee takes a stab at everyone and everything from politicians to pastors to common church practices:

We can only assume Celebrity Pastor goes by the motto of “if you don’t laugh you’ll cry.” This account takes on the superfluous spending and vain glory-seeking for which many a prosperity preacher of megachurch fame is known. Take a look at some of the account’s top hits:

Last but not least, you have the Unappreciated Pastor account, with some 38.5K followers, which finally gives the rest of us some insight into what life is like for all those pastors out there who just can’t get no respect. The tagline on the Unappreciated Pastor website describes itself as:”The lighter side of the heavy side of ministry. Poking fun & provoking thought.” Here are few gems from @Rev_Norespect:

Follow away, friends. And don’t forget to laugh at yourself.
