Sacreligious By Design

Sacrilege is the purposeful display of irreverence to something that other people hold to be sacred.

Everybody is sacreligious about something. Christian Nationalists in the United States, for example, commit daily acts of sacrilege against democracy, supporting violent fascists who smash the secular system of liberty that had been, until 2016, a growing tradition in American culture. Christian Nationalists insult democracy with their sacrilege because they prefer theocracy, a political system in which Christian religious elites control government and shape the law as an instrument of Christian power.

Here at the Demonic Bible, we respond to the sacrilege of Christian Nationalists with irreverence of our own. We offer the following images, available for sale on a variety of products, from stickers to coffee mugs and t-shirts, as symbols of our resistance to Christian fascism.

When fascism is religious, sacrilege is liberty.

The Book of Revelation Chapter 9

Sometimes, sacrilege comes in the form simply of repeating what someone else has said. This was the case when Tina Fey mocked Sarah Palin simply by stating, word for word, what Sarah Palin herself had stated during her Republican campaign for Vice President of the United States.

The following items employ the same approach, providing images of what the Christian Bible itself says clearly in chapter 9 of the New Testament Book of Revelation: When Jesus returns from the dead, he will establish his Kingdom of Heaven by sending hordes of angels in the form of giant locusts with human faces and scorpion tails to torture all people who refuse to convert to Christianity. This part of the Bible shows the transformation of Jesus from a peacemaker into a violent and cruel fascist, the inspiration for Donald Trump’s MAGA hordes of Christian Nationalists.

Jesus and the Torture Locusts

Learn More and Sting!

Who would Jesus sting? In the Gospels, the words of Jesus often stung, as the Christian messiah is recorded even threatening to unleash a holy genocide against people who refuse to worship him. Of course, these were just words.

In the Book of Revelation, the sting became horrifyingly literal, as Jesus announced his plan for hordes of locusts with human faces and the stinging tails of scorpions to torture all nonChristians for five months straight as punishment for their lack of faith. So much for turning the other cheek.

The Sting of Jesus is a card game in which players re-enact this New Testament terror… available for sale in January 2026.

Abaddon is a monster from the Bible unleashed upon the world by Jesus Christ in the Book of Revelation in order to torture nonChristians, and a symbol of the early roots of violent, sadistic Christian Nationalism.

Abaddon is referred to by the New Testament as an angel, not a demon. He is the king of the torture locusts of Chapter 9 of the Book of Revelation.

These torture locusts have the face of a man, long hair, sharp teeth, battle armor, and the stinging tail of a scorpion. They prepare the way for the iron rule over all the Earth by Jesus, teaching people to obey Jesus without question by inflicting excruciating pain on anybody who is not a fully-devoted Christian.

Abaddon is a symbol of the worst aspects of the character of Jesus, the vengeful, spiteful, violent, unforgiving messiah that the prophet of Christianity becomes through the sadistic ritual of crucifixion. In the end, in the Book of Revelation, Jesus becomes a sadist himself, inflicting the worst suffering on all those who refuse to worship him as an absolute ruler.

Abaddon is the patron angel of Christian Nationalism.
