Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 11: The Righteous Reign of the Branch of Jesse / Israel Reclaimed and Reunited / The Peace of the Reign of the Messiah. Wife is unhappy with how "New Testament" this is starting to feel, so Husband suggests we look at more Jewish study references. We agree that Christians should stop shunning vegetarians since it's literally foretold that meat-eate...

Husband and Wife read from Part III: The Human Comedy — Chapter 3: Traditional Types, from A Treasury of Jewish Folklore. In this episode of the Sacrilegious Book Club, topics include Cantors; Preachers and Rabbis; and Rothschild and Other Rich Men:  recognition that we are all foolish; singing; smoking; fancy tombstones; and grief at not being an heir.  Next time, we will cover some entries from...

Isaiah Chapters 1 - 10 Q&A Husband and Wife answer questions about tools, thrones, virgins, and Renfield. The story so far: God tells his people that if they don't worship him, he's gonna kill most of 'em. We're supposed to think the fact that he's not killing 100% of them is a kindness — a generous show of his beneficence. Apologists can't understand why we wouldn'...

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 10: The LORD's Anger against Israel (cont.) / The LORD's Use of Assyria. Isaiah speaks as God speaking as the Assyrian King, and it's not confusing at aaaaall. God calls the Assyrians a bunch of tools and then says he's gonna kill most of his people and the two people that are left should not be scared because murder and mayhem isn't terrif...

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 9: God is Big Mad and throwing a tantrum so a bunch of people have to die. His Chosen Ones didn't choose him back, which is a super bummer for Sky Daddy. The thing is, there's no way the people could have known who to follow because even God admits that the leaders were guiding them astray, so basically his feefees are all hurt because the people guess...

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 8: On an ordinary Wednesday, with an ordinary pen, Isaiah writes a prophecy that he will impregnate an ordinary prophetess in the ordinary fashion, and further that he will give his ordinary child a super ordinary name about booty. Meanwhile, an ordinary god is still in need of an ordinary therapist to help him work thru his ordinary abandonment issues. Join u...

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 7: Husband will stand naked in a field and whistle for the bees, flies, and cockroaches to come save the planet... is he not a generous pagan? We get to hear the 3rd draft of a story that does not improve with a new author. Also! News Flash: There's more than one pregnant virgin up in here, but that trick only works once, so we just have to pretend both pr...

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 6: When a good king dies, our hero eats magic mushrooms and sees a terrifying vision involving multi-winged beasts, crazy fire, and a throne. Dude gets all burned up and then volunteers to spread confusion throughout the land because HEY earthquakes are scary so why not? Woe is he! Whoa indeed!

Husband and Wife discuss our different approaches to voicing anger, and how they've changed over the years.  Topics include patriotism; American politics; Michelle Obama versus Michael Moore's method of engagement; tilting at windmills; and Husband's mature way of handling Wife — in this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers only.  Subscribe to Patreon here:  https://www.patreon.com/sa...

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 5: A parable about sour grapes makes Wife blow raspberries. When God beckons heathens from afar to come murder his people, Husband blows up too. This forced retrospective to explain how and why the Israelites got pooped on is enough to make anyone chug wine. We definitely lose the thread a bit in this one. When Evil Lurks: the movie trailer that gave Wife the...

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 4: This chapter is the shortest in the Book of Isaiah, and really should have been included with the previous chapter, Isaiah 3. In only 6 verses we get the Reverse Rapture, wherein God "washes away" all the bad folks and leaves behind the holy ones. The description harkens back to the days of Moses when God was a hovering smokestack. Sounds greeeeeat....

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 3: This chapter describes how the corrupt leadership brought about the collapse of the social condition of Jerusalem. There's also a huge section about how much women suck, which is real rich coming on the heels of Solomon's Song of Songs trying to convince us that women are viewed as men's equal.  Side Note: The society that Isaiah describes sound...

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 2: We get a prophecy, a lecture, and a lie. It's like the Bible version of Fuck-Marry-Kill. Which one is which? YOU DECIDE.

Husband and Wife cover Isaiah chapter 1: The Book of Isaiah is the first of the Latter Prophets in the Hebrew Bible; it contains the prophecies of Isaiah and is sometimes called The Fifth Gospel. This chapter talks about Judah as a sinful nation and compares the people to those of Sodom and Gomorrah, threatening God's wrath if folks don't get right with the laws of Moses. God says their so...

Husband and Wife read from Part III: The Human Comedy — Chapter 2: Rogues and Sinners, from A Treasury of Jewish Folklore. In this episode of the Sacrilegious Book Club, topics include Liars and Braggarts; Misers and Stingy Men; and Sinners: silly lies; truthfulness; brazen birds; Solomon's powers of sorcery; warnings against fanaticism; generous party-goers; holier-than-thou saints; and takin...

We just finished reading Solomon's Song of Songs, so it's time for Husband and Wife to play another round of a game called You're Always Wrong (along with a special discussion about how women are treated in the Old Testament). You may be shocked to learn that we've found a few contradictions in the Bible . No wonder it's so easy to cherry-pick quotes to back up any claim! "...

Husband and Wife recap the Book of Solomon's Song of Songs (Song of Solomon) — And we learn an interesting interpretation that places this story in an all new light! We think it's an operatic love triangle that was likely performed on stage before a live audience, and the text ended up in Solomon's library. The Jewish and Christian traditions can keep their childish allegories. The Kab...

Husband and Wife finish Song of Solomon chapter 8: This chapter contains convos between the woman and the daughters of Jerusalem; the woman and her grody brothers; and finally, the woman and her pedophile beau. The term "woman" is doing some heavy lifting here because she was actually only like 12, per her own brothers who opine on the tiny size of her tits. You know — remember her grape-s...

Husband and Wife cover Song of Solomon chapter 7: This chapter contains a poem in which the man describes the body of the woman, his lover, from toe to head, followed by the woman's invitation to the man. We learn her hair is like a fancy blanket, her schnozzola is huge, and her titties are lumpy. Her mother must be so proud. Join us on DISCORD:  https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zK Skip the ads by j...

Husband and Wife cover Song of Solomon chapter 6: This chapter contains a dialogue between the daughters of Jerusalem and the woman about the man, followed by a repeat of the man's "descriptive" poem of the woman, and ending with a collective call to the woman to return. She finds the man enjoying his garden which definitely sounds like a euphemism for an orgy, especially after he chec...

Husband and Wife discuss some background on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, in light of recent events.  Topics include a discussion on occupied lands with a slant toward understanding why Hamas attacked Israel. Spoilers: The attack didn't come out of nowhere, and it didn't occur in a vacuum.  — in this bonus episode normally reserved for Patreon subscribers only. This subject felt import...
