Gen Z Genesis

Summary:

A Gen Z Retelling of the Bible, written by a norse pagan and fact-checked by a Jehovah's Witness and a catholic for historical/ cultural accuracy

this was made to help me personally heal from the Christian ick, also because I thought it would be funny

enjoy

Notes:

I’m giving God gender-neutral pronouns {fight me} xe/xem/xyr (pronounce the x like a z and you’re good) b/c Xe said Xe made mankind ‘in his image’ but then made us both male, female, and a bunch in-between, implying that God is either all or none.

Some artistic liberties are taken during dialogue scenes, namely, now there are dialogue scenes, so take the verbiage with a column of salt

PS. the chapters are very short so this reads better if you use the 'entire work' feature

Chapter Text

     [1:1] God kinda decided on a whim that Xe wanted to make a thing. That thing was the earth. Xe then decided that it was too dark and made light. Then God decided that the light was pretty cool, but just, not all the time so Xe made it turn off half the time and that seemed to work out pretty well.

     [1:5] God watched over Xyr's new Minecraft server to make sure the custom day/night cycle worked like it was supposed to, and while that was happening Xe got to work building an aesthetic. Xe figured that once the really cool space gas congregated around the planet it would look dope as fuck around sunrise.

     [1:9] So now we have the oceans and the sky. Y’see when God was doing some preliminary worldbuilding Xe thought up a lot of cool shit to put in the ocean, and Xe kinda… forgot? To make dry land? So Xe did that the next day. God spent the rest of the day decorating the dry land with a bunch of different plants, and God was overall pretty pleased with Xemself at how everything turned out so far. 

     [1:14] At the start of the third day God decided that Xe should probably get an organizational system setup before things got too crazy, and made time. Days, months, years, and ways to track them. Xe also started thinking about how future inhabitants of the earth are going to have to deal with the blinding darkness for twelve hours a day and put up a nifty nightlight Xe called the moon. And look-- the moon is cool and all, but there was still a lot of empty space and God didn’t care for that shit at all so Xe threw some stars in there just for kicks. 

     [1:20] God decided that the world looked pretty dope and decided Xe was ready for some set dressing So Xe evolved a few of the water OCs from when Xe was brainstorming earlier to make them go on land. Then in a fit of inspiration, threw in a couple of different kinds of birds. God just kinda went off with all these animals, blasting them all out over like, two days. Xe figured since these were the first conscious things Xe’d made Xe should probably give them some instruction. And thus was the first sex-ed class. 

     [1:26] It was now day six, and God thought that the earth was finally ready for people . Xe wanted to make them in Xyr's image giving them dominion over the earth and its inhabitants. It took Xem a while to sketch them out just right but once Xey did Xe was left with the plans for one male and one female. Xe thought it was pretty dope and started writing out all the things they were allowed to do like farm… and eat animals. That's about it really. He went ahead and made the guy but he wanted to make sure Xe didn’t fuck anything up so Xe held off on making the gal just yet.
