A three-panel SMBC comic. In the first two panels, a woman with dark hair and glasses talks with an orange-haired man. She says she doesn't think God is a divine clockmaker, because a clockmaker is an engineer, a geek. The man asks what Revelations would have been like if a geek wrote it. The third panel shows a mock book title page reading 'THE REVELATION of John the Divine,' with header text 'King and Priestess, Chap. j, Part and bit,' stamped with a red '!! SPOILER ALERT !!' warning, as if the apocalyptic prophecy were a story whose ending shouldn't be spoiled. Votey (bonus panel): a person leans toward a screen or table and shouts 'JESUS IS BACK?! WHAT A TWIST!', reacting to the Book of Revelation's ending like a plot twist that was just spoiled.
