Homelander’s White House speech

    From the final episode (S05E08) of The Boys where Homelander gave a speech from the White House during Easter calling himself the new God.

    My fellow Americans.
    
    Happy Easter.
    
    A day commemorating Jesus, who, as we all know was tortured, stripped of his dignity, and killed. And that's all well and good. But... you're Americans. You deserve a God who doesn't die, a God who fights back, a God you can believe in. Well... Today, I bring you good news. Recently, I was visited by... an exquisite angel, bearing the gift of revelation. As I bathed in her light, her heavenly lips spilled sweet truth into my ear, and I was awakened to my true purpose. Not just to be the world's greatest hero, ever, but to save all humanity. To be... the Second Coming. But in a way, really, I'm... the First Coming. America, I am the Lord, your Savior. I am your God. And as such, I'm going to usher this world into a new golden dawn, an age in which your God moves among you, seen and heard, in which your prayers are truly answered... when you visit Homelander.church. And all I ask for in return is love. Pure, unadulterated love. No strings, no catches. Just an honest devotion to a living divinity. All of which you'll find outlined in chapter two of The Homelander Bible: "Loving God the Right Way." I simply ask that you open your hearts and put your faith... in me. Those who accept my truth will be welcomed into a land of milk and honey.
    
    For I am your fath...
    
    I am, uh...
    
    I am your father.
    
    But no matter what I do, some of you people will never accept me into your hearts, never love me, never believe in me. And to such heretics, I offer oblivion. And those who seek to destroy me, you will die the most horrible of deaths, as befits your wickedness. And know this, I will prevail. My reign will last forever, and when this world is cold and dead, I shall remain... eternal... god of the ashes.
