Microsoft Copilot makes the best images ever if you can avoid triggering the censorship. This took several iterations but came out way better than anything I could have imagined drawing myself.
This is as close as I will come to entering a "birds and the bees" contest.
A longer note to those perhaps questioning whether this piece is compatible with the contest rules:
The faith is exhibited in the stories referenced in the acrostic (
Jael and Esther use seduction pragmatically to save their people, whereas the two symbolic sisters referenced in Ezekiel 23 use their power to stray from purpose). It is interesting that all four women invoked are seducing men foreign to their race and religion, reflecting the Jewish tradition of ancestry as being inherited from the mothers, not the fathers, despite how the genealogies are written.
Of course my piece itself does not differentiate or contrast the intent of the different women, so it is more of a literal "Bible acrostic" (note the title of the contest) about all the spicy OT passages my siblings and I were reading during long sermons, since my dad made us sit through them instead of attending Sunday school with the rest of the kids. The moral of the story for us was, there's more to faith than reciting catechisms, so don't let anyone else make your faith boring to you : )
