I saw David Bazan in St. Augustine, Fl a couple years back and asked him, during his usual live Q&A sessions, what this song was about.
David (we're on a first name basis now) said he had a pastor friend who confided in him that he was cheating on his wife and felt guilty about it. So David said he wanted to write a song that fuses two things together that usually aren't, basically sex and Christianity.
Obviously it goes beyond with a play on words between the coming of Jesus through the rapture and that climax of the Bible compared to a man having a climax with a woman who's not his wife and beyond that is a pastor, someone supposedly leading others and being held accountable.

That pastor sounds like a prick to me.
He's very cruel with his song isn't he.
