Proverbs 7:  The Wiles of a Harlot / Warning Against the Adulteress. Wisdom is to be treated as a sister or a bride in order to counter the attraction to the adulteress. Harlots be out here in these streets, y'all, so watch o...

Husband and Wife cover Proverbs 4 - 6 The Book of Proverbs is a collection of collections, the first of which (Proverbs 1 - 9) are referred to as the Didactic Discourses. Proverbs 4: Got Wisdom? No? Me neither. Well, this chapter urges us to get some. It also encourages us to stay on the good path and avoid the way of the wicked. Otherwise you'll trip and fall into Sheol. Proverbs 5: Avoid the...

Husband and Wife cover Proverbs 1 - 3 The Book of Proverbs is a collection of collections, the first of which (Proverbs 1 - 9) are referred to as the Didactic Discourses.

Husband and Wife discuss the Seven Laws of Noah.   (This is a full episode of a previously released Patreon ONLY episode. This is an example of the type of content you would have access to by subscribing to our Patreon page!) Then they talk about Mosaic Laws (the Ten Commandments); decide if they are Noahides (they're not); and encourage listeners to use gender neutral pronouns — The Seven Law...

Husband and Wife cover Lilith 101. A Rebroadcast of an old episode (fan favorite!) A rape victim stands up for herself and is subsequently dubbed Mother of Demons. Lilith is unjustly accused of stealing men's sperm to have an infinite number of babies, while simultaneously, she is judged a murderer of countless newborns. She's both a harpy-like creature AND a vampiric seductress. She is no...

In this episode, Zaylen interviews ex-pastor and author, Tim Sledge. He is a secular humanist who shows us that it is okay to be kind, show compassion, and still find strength without religion. He also provides a brief insight into his own life and journey as a minister. You can also purchase his books on Amazon or learning more about him here: http://www.timsledge.com/BooksByTimSl...

We just finished reading Psalms, so it's time for Husband and Wife to play another round of a game called You're Always Wrong. 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 Psalms — a collection of poems, hymns, and prayers that may be regarded as a kind of epitome of the entire range of the Hebrews' religious life. Most of the Psalms are attributed to David, which is obviously bullshit because the pieces were collected over a thousand-year period. Our moods in this book ranged from boredom to mildly annoyed to extremely disgust...

Husband and Wife cover Part III: The Human Comedy — Chapter 1: Droll Characters, from A Treasury of Jewish Folklore. In this episode of the Sacrilegious Book Club, topics include Wags and Wits: A jester named Hershel; pranksters and scalawags; another liar's paradox; lots of alcohol; marriage; and sneaky ways to get a free meal. Next time, we will cover some entries from Fools and Simpletons....

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 148 - 150 Psalm 148:  All Creation Exhorted to Praise the LORD. Starts, "Praise ye the Lord from the heavens." Psalms 145 to 148 are given the title "of Haggai and Zechariah." Psalms 148 to 150 are the Laudate Psalms, sung all together as one psalm during the hour of Lauds, also called "Morning Prayer." Do fishes praise the lord? What about the...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 146 - 147 Psalm 146: Praise for the LORD's Righteous Acts. Starts, "Praise ye the LORD. Praise the LORD, O my soul." Psalm 146 is the first of the five final concluding psalms in the Book of Psalms! Honestly, I can't remember what this psalm was about cuz they're kinda all the same, but there was a note about how God watches over the aliens and we...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 144 - 145 Psalm 144: A Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity / David against Goliath. Starts, "Blessed be the LORD my strength." Verse 1 ("Blessed be the LORD my strength, which teacheth my hands to war, and my fingers to fight.") is inscribed on a number of high medieval swords. In 2015, a gun shop in Florida produced an AR-15 named the "Crusader"...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 141 - 143 Psalm 141: A Prayer for Preservation from Evil. Starts, "Lord, I cry unto thee." The hard copy of this stuff was super messy, so a couple of the verses were corrupt, which means this translation is a "best guess" scenario. Not sure how this doesn't apply to the entire daggone Bible, but okay. Psalm 142: A Prayer for Help in Trouble. Start...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 138 - 140 Psalm 138: Thanksgiving for the LORD's Favor. Starts, "I will praise thee with my whole heart." This is part of the final Davidic collection of psalms, comprising Psalms 138 through 145, which are specifically attributed to David in their opening verses. We are sick of David, so this is super exciting news! One might even call it "Good News&#...

Husband and Wife discuss how we can somehow manage to avoid being murderers even tho we're atheists, because it always seems to shock Christians that we have morals, ethics, and deeply rooted values — an internal compass that encourages us NOT to pull whiskers off kittens — in this bonus episode for Patreon subscribers only.

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 135 - 137 Psalm 135: The Greatness of the LORD and the Vanity of Idols / Praise to God in Creation and Redemption / Many Mercies. Starts (and ends!), "Praise ye the LORD." Stop doing idols, y'all. Stop it. No idoling. No one likes an idoler. Psalm 136: Praise for the LORD's Everlasting Mercy / Many Mercies / A Litany of Thanksgiving/ The Great Hallel....

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 132 - 134 Psalm 132: A Prayer for Blessing on the Sanctuary. Starts, "Lord, remember David." This is the longest of the 15 psalms categorized as "a song of ascents." There is literally nothing special about this psalm. No notes. It is a perfectly blah specimen of Davidic bullshittery. Psalm 133: The Blessings of Brotherly Unity. Starts, "Behold, ho...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 129 - 131 Psalm 129: A Prayer for the Overthrow of Downfall of Zion's Enemies / A Song of Victory over Zion’s Enemies / A Song of Degrees. Starts, "Many a time have they afflicted me from my youth." Why it was made one of the 'Songs of ascents' is unknown. Honestly that tracks for most of these psalms. They are shorter than the rest but otherwise d...

Husband and Wife cover Psalms 126 - 128 Psalm 126:  Thanksgiving for Restoration. Starts, "When the Lord turned again the captivity of Zion." Psalm 126 was proposed by religious Zionists to be the national anthem of the State of Israel. It got rejected. But its feelings aren't hurt too bad because it later inspired the hymn "Bringing in the Sheaves" and got to appear multiple t...

Husband and Wife begin Part III: The Human Comedy — Chapter 1: Droll Characters, from A Treasury of Jewish Folklore. In this episode of the Sacrilegious Book Club, topics include Schnorrers and Beggars: black humor; laughter thru tears; satire; beggars with chutzpah; creative hornswoggling; and fleecing by witty rogues. Next time, we will cover some entries from Wags and Wits. We hope you'll g...
