Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 17: The Territory Allotted to Ephraim and Manasseh (cont). We rant a bit about how {*yells into mic*} WE ARE NOT SCHOLARS OR ACADEMICS before going on to learn that the Canaanites are still very present and many of them are giants. No worries; our boy Joshua enslaves them. Good times! Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible...

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 16: The Territory Allotted to Ephraim and Manasseh. More Canaanites get to survive (as slaves) so yay! I tried really hard to think of something else to say, but this chapter was literally only two paragraphs so you get what you get and you don't get upset.

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 14: Canaan Divided by Lot / Hebron Given to Caleb. So you know how just then it says the land was divided by "lot"? It's a lie. Some of thatwas predetermined by Moses and there would have been some extremely angry 80yo's if they'd actually done it by lot. So anyway, THAT happened.

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 13: The Land Yet to Be Possessed / The Inheritances Given by Moses. If the last chapter was a Congress of Kings, this chapter is a Menagerie of Maps, or an Aggregation of Atlases, or a Louse of Lands. Oh, and you thought they were done conquering Canaan? Foolish mortal. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible-study-for-athe...

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 12: The Kings Defeated by Moses / The Kings Defeated by Joshua. This is a super short chapter that is literally just a rollcall of every king killed thus far. We argued over what you might call a group of kings, as with a flock of geese or a murder of crows: a Congress of Kings? A Flush of Kings? A Court of Kings? A Bag of Kings? Anyway, nothing happens. Suppo...

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 11: The Defeat of Jabin's Alliance / Joshua Takes the Whole Land. We decide to start referring to the "Basket of Deplorables" as the "Vast Horde" because when you're surrounded by antivaxxers that's legit how it feels. Husband wins a bad-joke contest, our kid unexpectedly contributes a throwaway comment, and Wife quotes Humpty Dumpt...

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 10: The Defeat of the Amorites. These guys were giants tho, weren't they? No mention of that now, so we really aren't sure. But wow, God stops the sun, which is completely unnecessary since he also sends down hail to kill everyone. Because, don't forget, slaughter is so much fun!

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 8: The Capture and Destruction of Ai / The Law Recorded at Mount Ebal. Wife does a math badly, but to be fair, the entire premise was poorly articulated, so I think we can all agree that ultimately God is to blame for this malarkey. Footnote: Another visit to Bless and Curse Mountains ensues, but let's be real: Who even cares? Support this podcast at — htt...

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 6: The Fall of Jericho. There really wasn't even a battle because God just made the walls fall down himself, so I'm not sure what all the fuss over this town was about. But hey they followed thru on saving that prostitute so, Yay? Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sacrilegious-discourse-bible-study-for-atheists/donations

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 5: The Circumcision and Passover at Gilgal / Joshua and the Man with a Drawn Sword. So after crossing the Jordan, the Israelites randomly decide that NOW is the time to chop off their ("just the tip"). Then some just declared himself commander of the Lord's army and Joshua is like, "Of course you are; that totally makes perfect sense!" This...

Husband and Wife cover Joshua chapter 4: The Twelve Stones Taken from the Jordan. They crossed the river. They picked up rocks. They stacked those rocks so good. And that day Joshua was named Best. Leader. Ever. Besides. Moses. That's literally all that happened and, believe me, I spiced it up here.

Husband and Wife cover Joshua Chapter 2: The Spies Sent to Jericho. The title of this section pissed off Husband before we even started reading, because sending in spies is LITERALLY what got the Israelites in trouble the LAST time they approached the Promised Land. The spies aren't very scouty, tho, as they are busy with a prostitute who squeezes vows of protection from her sneaky lovers. Sup...

Husband and Wife cover Joshua Chapter 1: Preparations for the Conquest of Canaan. We wonder if the Canaanites noticed the Israelite army that's been camped out on their border for what seems like several months. Yeah, that's right, they still haven't entered the Promised Land. It's starting to feel like maybe they're stalling. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sac...
