Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 21: Settlement for an Unknown Murderer's Crime / Various Laws. These folks love stoning people to death -- including their own kids! And they are more concerned about their town not getting blamed for murder than they are about actually solving the murder. Honestly, these Israelites were pretty garbage.

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 20: The Laws Concerning War. What's it good for? Absolutely nothin'. Except for trees. But only the fruit ones. The non-fruit-bearing trees are open season. Also, we are reminded to never NOT be afraid as it means you get to go home. Also also, don't live in town because there's a chance that being merely deplorable-adjacent saves you from...

Husband and Wife cover questions about Curse Mountain and Bless Mountain. We learn how they decided which mountain was which (they held a beauty contest) and who got to stand on the good one (they held a popularity contest). We also get ahead of ourselves because Joshua is totally gonna clear things up in the coming chapters. Thank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Athei...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 19: The Cities of Refuge / The Law Concerning Witnesses. We come up with a fantastic concept for a reality tv show wherein Christian contestants are judged by the rules actually set forth in the Bible -- which means you can't move your yard markers, Karen! And Steve, you need to get a better grip on your axe so the head stops flying off! We also learn...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 18: The Portions of the Levites / Warning Against Heathen Practices / God Promises a Prophet Like Moses. Wife is sad about the lack of magic in her life and vows to get her palms read. Husband half-heartedly vows to trust Wife's premonitions. We recap our adventure with skydiving zombies. Neither of us recalls what we read in this chapter but our conv...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 17: The Administration of Justice (cont.) / Instructions Concerning a King. Stonings continue but only after cyber stalking. We question what constitutes "too many" in deciding how many wives a king gets to have. Then we wax nostalgic about the idea of having a leader who has actually read the rules. Finally, we bristle at the Bible's accusati...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 16: The Three Appointed Feasts / The Administration of Justice. We decide we'd rather have chicken than lamb on a Suffer Bread sammich. Wife teaches Husband "The Song That Never Ends" and we wonder whether Moses was allowing for basement Ashera poles. Thank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 15: The Year of Release / Lending to the Poor / The Treatment of Servants / The Consecration of Firstlings. Wife is disappointed to learn that "release" has nothing to do with orgasms, and she gets worked up over the sad state of college and medical debt in this country.

Husband and Wife cover questions about how many Israelites were in Egypt, versus how many left. Turns out the Israelites weren't all that special insofar as being the pharaoh's slaves. Moreover, they weren't even Israelites at that point. We argue about cultural collective memory versus b&w historical accuracy, and compare Moses to George Washington. It's all very messy. Thank...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 14: Warning Against Idolatry (cont. still) / Clean and Unclean Food / The Law of the Tithe (as opposed to The Eye of the Tiger). We learn that eating roadkill is bad, but selling it to strangers is perfectly acceptable. Husband wants to eat a bat and Wife just wants to snuggle kittens. Thank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Ath...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 13: Warning Against Idolatry (cont.). We learn that if you can see the future, then you and your scallywag brood are evil scoundrels who should be totally murdered - and your little dog, too. Yeah, that tracks. Killing is awesome!

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 12: Only One Place of Worship / Warning Against Idolatry. We are reminded for the umpteenth time not to drink blood, mess with idols, or worship other gods. Moses encourages us again to engage in killing sprees and wipe out entire towns, all of which sounds super fun. Thank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists! Check out t...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 11: The Greatness of the Lord / The Blessings of the Promised Land. There's a lot to remember here, but don't worry -- Moses isn't talking to any of us because we weren't around to see all those miracles. We do get confused, however, when Moses urges everyone to drop a blessing at one mountain and a curse at another. What even?!? Thank you...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 10: The Second Tablets of Stones / What God Requires. We argue over who's right more often (Husband versus Wife). Moses takes credit for building the whole dang ark himself, like 'tweren't nothin', and Husband goes bananas over the assertion that there were originally only 70 Israelites. Moses' recap does the book of Numbers a grave in...

Husband and Wife cover questions about Ashera Poles, which Husband cannot pronounce because Ohio. This goddess was actually kind of a Big Deal, depending on who you asked. And oh look at that, you could ask the Israelites because the women totally gave her offerings. Huh.

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 9: The Lord Will Destroy the Nations of Canaan / Israel's Rebellion at Horeb.

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 8: A Good Land to be Possessed / Warning Against Forgetting the Lord. Wife points out that God has BPD ("I hate you! Don't leave me!") and makes an excellent Matrix reference which Husband confuses as a quote from Poltergeist, bringing us full circle (because possession).

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 5: The Ten Commandments / The People's Fear. This is a much shorter, and slightly altered, version of what we already read a couple books ago.
