Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Husband and Wife start off their new discussion series with a topic near-and-dear to Wife's heart: Banned Book Week. We talk about why books are challenged, and by whom, and how librarians are the front-line protectors of our precious First Amendment. Like what you heard?

Husband and Wife introduce the next section of the Old Testament following the Pentateuch: the Deuteronomistic History, which includes Joshua, Judges, 1Samuel, 2Samuel, 1 King, and 2 King. The Book of Ruth is in there somewhere but gets no mention, so not sure what THAT'S about! We end the episode on a hill of foreskins, as you do.

Husband and Wife cover questions about the Thummim and Urim, which sadly have nothing to do with either thumbs or urine. We get furthering confirmation that those silly Bible goobers believed in magic. You know, because a belief in gods wasn't ridiculous enough.

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 31: Joshua Commissioned as Moses' Successor / The Law to Be Placed in the Ark / The Song of Moses. God reveals that like two seconds after Moses dies, the dumbos will start worshipping other gods and breaking the covenant. Poor Moses. My dude can't even die in peace.

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 30: The Conditions for Restoration and Blessing. God commands us to love him, which seems like a flawed plan. But if you disobey, you'll have to eat a baby sandwich on suffer bread. So we're gonna choose the blessings, right? I mean, I guess so.

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 29: The Lord's Covenant with Israel in Moab. It's just more of the same "I'll boil you alive" threats if the people disobey. Wife channels her inner Mickey Mouse, and does a quick detour into her favorite sci-fi shows. Husband keeps things on track but cuts us off without letting us say goodbye. GOODBYE!

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 28: The Blessings of Obedience / The Consequences of Disobedience. Holy moly, this god is on a serious tear! He threatens to make you eat your kids and get boils everywhere and be naked and have mildew and robberies and whatnot and what-have-you, promises he will turn this van around and drive y'all back to Egypt if you don't behave, and then is l...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 27: The Law to Be Recorded on Mount Ebal / The Curses at Mount Ebal. After making a zen garden by balancing stacked rocks, these fools shout curses that involve way too many rules about . The guys were so dang horny back then! And all the people reply, Amen!

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 25: Laws of Human Relations (still cont.) / The Command to Blot Out Amalek. It seems counter-productive to write down the name of a people you actively want to forget, but okay, you do you, weirdos! And for the record, I'm never going to marry my brother-in-law, periodt.

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 24: Laws of Human Relations (cont.). The rich are encouraged not to be selfish, and Wife goes off about Dave Ramsey. We ponder that age-old question, How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Tootsie pop? Now go beat your trees!

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 23: Those Excluded from the Congregation / Laws of Sanitation / Laws of Human Relations. This chapter starts right off with penises and the lack thereof; it doesn't get better from there. It's all prostitutes and wet dreams and buffets and a bunch of grapes and crushed nuts. Oh and also a sickle. Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/sac...

Husband and Wife cover Deuteronomy chapter 22: Various Laws (cont.) / Laws Concerning Chastity. This entire chapter is way too concerned with vaginas. Lots of people get stoned but not in the good way. Thiss bananas. We were pretty much rendered speechless which isn't good in an audio-only medium.
