Pop culture has always been filled with Bible references. It was the inspiration for painters, sculptors and pretty much every artist for hundreds of years.

Almost every modern hero you see today will show a Jesus complex in one way or the other. Also, of course, the Devil turned out to be one of the greatest characters in all fiction. Zombies? Forget Romero. I say Zechariah or John came up with that concept.

This collection is an exercise of reverse-engineering the trend by re-injecting pop culture back into the Bible verses. After all, it's safe to say that no modern scary story comes even close to being as horrifying as anything that happened to Job in the hands of God and the Devil. Not to mention what happened to Lot in the hands of his daughters when they were in the caves. GROSS.

But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” Surely there was an impostor among us.

(Genesis 19:26) Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. But Lot's wife, behind him, looked back, and she became a pillar of salt. Why a pillar of salt? God knows, literally. Then Lot happily accepted the Lord's punishment on his wife by singing an old song by George Michael, and didn't look back. Then Lot and his daughters went to live inside a cave, where even more truly horrible things happened afterwards.

(Job 1:6-8) The Lord was bored, so he decided to have some fun. Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil.” So the Lord placed a bet with the Devil over his lab rat. Together they would torture Job and have his whole life completely destroyed in order to test his faith. God and the Devil shook hands, and in that beautiful moment, an ABBA song started playing. "The winner takes it all. The loser has to fall. It's simple and it's plain. Why should I complain?"

This is possibly the most disturbing story in the Bible. Why would anyone want to worship a God that would do this?

And the king said, “Divide the living child in two, and give half to one, and a half to the other”, said King Solomon in all of his benevolence and kindness.

The mother of the baby then said to let the other woman have it, as she'd rather the baby live with someone else than be killed. This showed Solomon, in all his benevolence and kindness, which was the woman who loved the child enough to put it's life first. In all his benevolence and kindness, Solomon then granted the baby to the real mother.

(Matthew 8:28-34) Jesus was taking a leisurely stroll through a demon-infested tomb when two violent heretics began flailing about in front of him. They sarcastically asked if the "Son of God" had come to torture them for being possessed. Before Jesus could answer, a herd of pigs came thundering over a nearby hill. For some reason, the demons possessing the men pleaded to be allowed to enter the pigs. Jesus permitted this, and soon after, the classic rock band "Jesus and the Demon Pigs" was officially formed, and people from the local town were shocked, telling Jesus to leave their land immediately. Then the band left and started touring around the world.

So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and a stone, and struck the Philistine and killed him. The slingshot is mightier than the sword.

(Matthew 14:8-11) On Herod’s birthday, the daughter of Herodias danced for the guests and pleased Herod so much that he promised with an oath to give her whatever she asked. Prompted by the song 'Heads Will Roll', by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, she said, “Give me here on a platter the head of John the Baptist.” The king was distressed, but because of his oath, he ordered that her request be granted. John The Baptist's head was brought in on a platter and given to Salome. "Dance till you're dead", said the song.

Blessed is he, who in the name of charity and goodwill, shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children. And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who would attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon thee.", said Jules Winnfield.
