Faggots of Fire

What's in a word?

faggot

noun 1 informal chiefly offensive a male homosexual. See usage at queer. 2 British spelling of fagot.

a bundle of sticks or twigs bound together as fuel.

a bundle of iron rods bound together for reheating, welding, and hammering into bars.

What's that... iron rods? Like the Rod of Iron? A bundle of "rods of iron"? A bundle of cocks... bound together. Fuel for the fire, that's what faggots are.

For our God is a consuming fire. --Hebrews 12:29

I have come to cast a fire on the earth; and what will I if already it has been kindled? --Luke 12:49

Is that bad? Sounds kinda hot.

And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. --Hebrews 1:7

Jesus says: "I have cast fire upon the world, and see, I am guarding it until it blazes." --Thomas 10

What kind of fire does a loving God guard? Maybe the flames of passion! The fire of sexual desire. Believe it or not, God thinks we're hot. We turn him on. We make him hard. Fuck, think of that... we have the power to give God a woody. Next time you look in the mirror, realize that you're looking at the Image of God (OK, maybe with a few extra pounds), and that is a big turn-on. That's why he's a jealous God, because he's a jealous lover. Would you really want it any different?

"...bound together for reheating, welding, and hammering into bars."

Sounds almost like holy alchemy. The turning of dross material into something of value. Like a smelter. It's interesting that The Simpsons - that synchromystical cauldron - has Homer taking Bart to a gay steel mill in order to make a real man of him.
