Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 16: Asa's League with Ben-hadad. Just as we suspected all along, Asa was not a good guy. He didn't really believe in God, he oppressed his people, and he put a seer in stocks for telling him {The Truth}. Fortunately his foot got the rot, so I guess things worked out?

Husband and Wife answer questions about Zerah the Ethiopian Nubian Sudanese Cushite Arabian Midianite who was a general pharaoh governor chieftain commander that totally existed or maybe not. We also talk at great length about the Ark of the Covenant's location in Ethiopia. Wife can not let go of the Queen of Sheba.

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 15: Asa's Reforms. Some random prophet just runs up to Asa and starts shouting, "Don't forget God stuff!" which is just so odd. Then Asa tears down Asherah poles which makes no sense because HE ALREADY DID THAT. He fires his gma and threatens death to those who don't adopt his religion, and (surprise- surprise) everybody gets onto the...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 14: The Reign of Asa. Asa gets rid of Asherah poles and other pagan chachkes; fortifies his towns and thereby kinda displays a lack of trust in the Lord (which the Bible neglects to mention); somehow defeats an invading 1-million-strong army; and bravely raids some little herdsmen. Real upstanding guy, our Asa. But back the truck up — why the heck was Et...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 13: The Reign of Abijah. Somehow Abijah is able to project his voice across a crowd of 800,000 soldiers. But that's not even the unbelievable part. His guys give a battle cry so God is like, "Judah, I choose YOU" and they beat an army like twice their size. Our irritation with the Chronicler is beyond measure, eclipsing the amount of stars in...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 12: Shishak's Invasion of Judah. Rehoboam abandoned the Law of the Lord. Rehoboam humbled himself to the Lord. Rehoboam had evil in his heart. Rehoboam died. What a roller coaster. Skip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57d Thank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 11: Israel's Revolt (cont.) / The Prosperity of Rehoboam. Whereas Solomon traveled all over the place making business wives and partnering with tons of concubines, his son Rehoboam is stuck at home prepping for war and, in the absolute worst iteration of fuck-marry-kill, hooking up with his cousins. The Levites all ran off to Judah so they could do p...

Husband and Wife continue covering Heroes: Wise Men, Part 2 of A Treasury of Jewish Folklore in this episode of the Sacrilegious Book Club. Topics include the Angel of Death; the ancient art of reasoning; the senseless of borrowing worry when there are Always Two Possibilities; and the truth about ugly people. Next time we will continue to cover some entries from Heroes: Wise Men. We hope you'...

Husband and Wife answer MORE questions about the Queen of Sheba aka Nicaula aka Bilqis aka Makeda. She was a sun worshipping, hairy-legged, rich, smart queen who may have been a half-demon or a nephilim. She is the mother of Ethiopia, which may house the Ark of the Covenant. Clearly there will eventually be a Part 3 because we simply cannot get enough of her. Support this podcast at — https://redc...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 10: Israel's Revolt. Solomon's son Rehoboam drinks beer with Justice Kavanaugh and them good 'ol boys talk about how their dicks are thicker than their pinkies. Then they threaten to beat the slaves with scorpions because that seems like good incentive to hush the rabble. The slaves are like, Bye Felicia, and they stone the boss man. Rehoboam...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 9: The Queen of Sheba Visits Solomon / Solomon's Riches and Fame / The Death of Solomon. We get really off topic in this one when Wife rants about obligatory gift-giving. We declare our affinity for Blaine the Mono's penchant for riddles. The Chronicler, in an astonishing display of childishness, equates money to wisdom. The Queen of Sheba doesn&...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 8: Solomon's Further Activities. Gentle reminder that "appointed" and "conscripted" and "forced labor" are all forms of SLAVERY which is a despicable practice. Second note: menstruation is a natural function and should be normalized in society, not demonized and hidden as something shameful. Third thing: Wife said "women&#...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 7: The Dedication of the Temple (cont.) / The LORD's Covenant with Solomon. Residual David is still around and we are super sick of him. Solomon sacrifices an entire species worth of goats, and God is so excited he lights himself on fire. Jareth says to Sarah in the movie Labyrinth, "I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I w...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 6: The Dedication of the Temple. Wife brings to life this stupidly lengthy prayer by reading in her best southern televangelist accent, which it turns out isn't very good at all. That's okay, tho, because the prayer ain't all that great either. Residual David gets more time than Solomon, further proof that the Chronicler is both a douche and...

Husband and Wife cover questions about the Tribe of Dan, who are one of the Ten Lost Tribes of Israel, and who will eventually bring forth the Antichrist. Sounds legit.

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 5: The Furnishings for the Temple (cont.) / Solomon Brings the Ark into the Temple. Residual David just can't resist popping up again. We talk about apples, Johnny 5, Hudson Hawk, special tents, fart clouds, and true love. Wife sings a bit and ngl, it's actually kinda awesome. Happy Black Friday — keep it decent out there on them streets, y'a...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 4:  The Furnishings for the Temple.  David is truly dead, you guys! David has left the chat! Ding dong, the David's dead! Also, it wasn't Solomon who built everything with his own two hands. It was my guy Huram-abi, a swell fella who really gets shit done — where "shit" equals bronze and gold. And pomegranates! So many feets of pomegranat...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 3: Solomon Builds the House of the LORD / The Two Pillars. Residual David only makes a brief entry, so perhaps his death is actually final and we can leave him to rest in his grave? According to the Chronicler, Solomon builds All The Things with his own two hands, so we're curious why he needed slaves and craftsmen. Husband learns about columns and c...

Husband and Wife cover 2 Chronicles chapter 2: Solomon's Agreement with King Huram. Residual David is still in the chat. Solomon decides out of the blue to build himself a temple, so he sets up a trade deal with a neighboring king, and enslaves tens of thousands of foreigners to do all the work. He also hires a master craftsman who is able to do like Every Art Ever, because he got a liberal ar...
