Simply smutty satire of evangelical Christian bigotry and doomsday philosophy


This is my 100th blog post! I started this blog in 2016, I believe!


Romans 14:11—

“Every knee will bow before me

And every tongue will confess to God.”


My parents—

“The acceptance of

Gay and trans people

Is a sign of the End Times!

Every great society

That’s embraced them

Has fallen into ruin!

God struck down Sodom and Gomorrah

For sexual immorality!”


I didn’t realize I had the power

To bring an empire to its knees

Humble ol’ me

When I’m on my knees at her service


Kneeling on his hips

To dive in for another dip

Not even a guillotine

Can take away the head

I'm about to give him


I didn’t know my existence

Was enough to end the world

Call me doomsday

The nuclear bomb set

To destroy this family

Tick tick tick


I confess with my tongue on her chest

I am Armageddon

One taste of her breasts

And I am the spirit of the age

Manifested in the flesh

Tick tick tick BOOM


His believers claim the rainbow

In their conquest to prove

God’s promise not to flood

The Earth again


They soak up all the colors

So they bleed a washed out hue

Their lips wine-stained

Like the blood on their hands


If I'm an abomination

Then I'll be their favorite horror story

Their most hated villain


The rainbow is my reminder

That nature reflects my beauty

When his own creation

Prefers cloudy days

And colorless skies

Paints queers black and blue


Me, I paint a self-portrait

A boyfriend, a girlfriend on either side

A rainbow and God

Smiling down on us

A masterpiece in the making


We are the End Times incarnate

Behold—our beauty is devastating

Our disasters breathtaking


Every knee will bow

Every tongue will confess

That we are holy too

And our love is heavenly blessed
