It was a savage, barbaric time. Then came the glow. It began innocently enough: a message here, a selfie there, a map to avoid the existential terror of asking for directions. ...

Heaven's Queens is a satirical fantasy, derived from the Bible, archaeological findings from the Ancient Near East, Roman Catholic doctrine, and American Evangelical Protestant Christian teaching. In antiquity, the Israelites worshiped Asherah, as the Queen of Heaven and YHWH’s wife, together with YHWH. Judah’s King Josiah put a violent end to the worship of Asherah, and to the worship of (and belief in) any divinity besides YHWH. This caused YHWH to experience considerable loneliness. One day, following Satan’s advice, YHWH decided to find a virgin with whom to copulate.
