Husband and Wife are two non-believers who have always wanted to read the Bible. Why would we subject ourselves to this you might ask? From our perspective it helps us understand where the Christians around us, here in the Midwest, are coming from when they quote the Bible at us. Husband is basically an Atheist and wife leans Agnostic but mostly Atheist and we’re just having some fun at the Bible’s expense while learning more about what our neighbors claim we’re going to hell over.

    Ezekiel Chapter 1: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Ezekiel Chapter 1: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Strap in, non-believers and skeptics alike, for an interstellar ride through the fever dream that is Ezekiel Chapter 1. On today's episode of "Sacrilegious Discourse," your irreverent hosts dive headfirst into the biblical acid trip of a prophet who's either hit the holy jackpot or is proof that the ancients had access to some primo substances. Get ready to decode celestial puzzles that sound more like a sci-fi convention than sacred text.
    As we dissect the prophet's so-called divine vision, we're left scratching our heads – was Ezekiel the original ancient astronaut theorist, or just really, really into some potent Babylonian brew? We're talking about a guy who sees a four-faced, winged creature (designer genes much?) and wheels within wheels that would make even the most seasoned UFOlogist do a double-take.
    Our journey through this biblical head-scratcher is peppered with healthy skepticism and a side of good old-fashioned snark. We'll unravel the regal reigns of Judah's kings, because nothing says divine vision like a good, confusing genealogy. And let's not forget those living creatures with more eyes than a paranoid conspiracy theorist. It's like someone threw the animal kingdom into a blender and hit the "prophecy" button.
    For those craving a side of science with their scripture, we bring in the heavy artillery: Joseph F. Blumrich's hypothesis that Ezekiel's "visions" were actually a close encounter of the third kind. Spoiler alert: Blumrich worked for NASA, so you know it's going to be out-of-this-world. Literally.
    Prepare to have your beliefs rattled and your funny bone tickled as we ask the hard-hitting questions like, "Is this the work of God, or did Ezekiel just have a really bad stormy night?" We may never know, but one thing's for sure: This is one biblical chapter that could give any modern-day trip a run for its money.
    Join us as we probe the most unfathomable narrative the Good Book has to offer, and leave no stone (or possible alien artifact) unturned. Tune in, turn on, and drop out of reality with us as we explore "Ezekiel Chapter 1: When Hallucinations Met Holy Scripture."

We're diving headfirst into the scriptural abyss where divine temper tantrums and heavenly hugs play a twisted game of tag. Join your favorite irreverent duo as we tear apart the sanctimonious scripture and expose the celestial flip-flopping that would make even a politician blush.
    From the comfort of your heretical hideout, listen to us tackle the almighty's mood swings from the supposed book of comfort that can't decide if it's a warm blanket or a bed of nails. With over a thousand episodes under our blasphemous belts, we've mastered the art of scriptural skepticism, and in this milestone episode, we don't hold back. We're shining a sacrilegious spotlight on the Bible's bewildering messages of mercy and malice that somehow coexist like oil and water in a holy cocktail.
    It's an episode packed with contradictions that are sure to have you questioning everything Sunday school taught you. We're not just throwing shade; we're casting a solar eclipse over the so-called 'Good Book'. So, if you enjoy a dose of dark humor with your daily dose of doubt, and if phrases like "divine mercy" make you snort with laughter, this episode will be your new scripture.
    Prepare for a scriptural smackdown as we pit compassion against carnage, using the very words meant to guide the pious. Whether you're an atheist looking for ammunition or a believer with a sense of humor and curiosity, "Lamentations Contradictions" will not disappoint.
    Plug in, tune out, and may your faith in logical fallacies be ever strengthened. And remember, in the bingo game of biblical bloopers, "Lamentations Contradictions" is a free space.
    Subscribe to our channel for your weekly dose of divine disbelief, and don't forget to leave a heretic's review. After all, it's not blasphemy if it's true, right?

    Lamentations Wrap Up: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Lamentations Wrap Up: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Are you ready to shed a tear or maybe just roll your eyes? Dive into our latest episode, "Lamentations Wrap-Up," where we give the biblical Book of Lamentations the send-off it probably deserves – complete with acrostic confusion and mnemonic melodrama.
    Join us, your favorite irreverent atheists, as we bid adieu to Jeremiah's (or is it?) long-winded wails over Jerusalem's fall. We'll unravel the tapestry of voices that make up this so-called poetic masterpiece, proving that too many cooks in the prophecy kitchen spoil the broth. Acrostics? More like acrobatics of the mind, as we decode the Hebrew alphabet in a way that would make even the most seasoned cryptographers scratch their heads in bewilderment.
    And just when you thought we couldn't get more iconoclastic, we turn our skeptical spotlight on the legendary Ark of the Covenant. Was it a divine footstool, a fancy box for stone tablets, or just a really elaborate way to say "God's house"? We'll debate its significance and conveniently ignore its mysterious absence from the biblical narrative when it should have been hogging the limelight.
    Our pop quiz segment will test your knowledge, or lack thereof, about the good book's darkest emo tracks. You'll learn about Jeremiah's preferred method of divine retribution, the fashion choices of the ancient prophets, and why the term "jackal" might just be the ancient world's version of "fake news."
    Don't miss out on this episode's highlights, including a passionate debate over whether biblical jackals were actually sea monsters, dragons, or just really misinterpreted wild dogs. Plus, discover why the ancients might have needed a mnemonic device to remember their own sorrows. Hint: It wasn't because their laments were particularly memorable.
    So, pour yourself a stiff drink, and let's give a snarky farewell to the weepy, woeful, and sometimes downright weird Book of Lamentations. Who knows, by the end, you might just find yourself feeling a little less lamentable.
    Remember, the best way to experience the bible is with a heavy dose of skepticism and a side of humor. Subscribe, rate, and prepare to have your sacred cows tipped over – this is one wrap-up that's divine in its irreverence.

    Lamentations Chapter 5: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Lamentations Chapter 5: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Dive into the abyss of ancient woe with your favorite irreverent atheist book club as we dissect the last gasps of despair in Lamentations Chapter 5. Get ready for an episode brimming with dark humor and eye-rolls as we discuss how the biblical saga of sorrow ends not with a bang, but with a litany of complaints that could rival your grandpa's stories of uphill walks in the snow.
    Join us for "Lamentations Chapter 5," where we unpack the concluding cries of a people plagued by famine, thirst, and the unfortunate need to pay for water—something that, shockingly, still resonates in the 21st century. Listen as we critique the ancient art of self-flagellation and find out why our club thinks this chapter is the equivalent of a dumpster fire of despair.
    Our brutally honest reflections tackle everything from siege cannibalism to the unrelenting execution of princes, all while we keep asking the big question: How much self-loathing can one book contain? Expect plenty of sarcasm as we connect the dots between historical hardships and modern struggles, all while questioning the efficacy of blaming a deity for your nation's collective time-out.
    If you've ever wondered how ancient lamentations hold up in the era of modern skepticism, this episode is a must-listen. And for those of you who've been following our journey through Lamentations, prepare for a wrap-up that's as satisfying as finding an extra fry at the bottom of your takeout bag. We might not have loved this biblical bummer, but we sure do love talking about it.
    So tune in, get your fill of snark, and discover why Lamentations might just be the perfect ancient text for those who love to hate-read. Remember, when life gives you lemons, you could make lemonade—or you could write an entire book about how sour they are, just like the authors of Lamentations did. Don't miss out on our signature blend of skepticism and humor—listen now to "Lamentations Chapter 5: The Grand Finale of Biblical Misery."

    Lamentations Chapter 4: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Lamentations Chapter 4: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Get ready to dive headfirst into a theological dumpster fire as your favorite atheist podcasters tackle the doom and gloom of Lamentations Chapter 4. In this episode, we peel back the layers of biblical brutality and the appalling concept of a deity who's into divine retribution like it's an Olympic sport. Strap in for a wild ride through famine, desolation, and the type of wrath that would make even the most seasoned horror director blush.
    From the jaw-droppingly bleak imagery of cannibalism (yes, you read that right) to the utter moral bankruptcy of worshipping a god who dishes out suffering like candy on Halloween, we leave no stone unturned. We discuss the psychological gymnastics required to reconcile the narrative of a benevolent god with the actions of a divine tyrant who seems to have skipped all the therapy sessions.
    Join us as we grapple with the big questions: How do you keep the faith when the holy text reads like a how-to guide for despots? Can we draw a straight line from ancient divine vengeance to modern-day Christian nationalism and its not-so-subtle thirst for power? And, perhaps most pressing of all, why is this book not on the banned list when it has more horror than a Stephen King novel?
    This episode isn't just a biblical breakdown; it's a cultural critique that will have you questioning everything from divine justice to the absurdity of religious literalism. So tune in, as we dissect the darker chapters of the good book with the kind of snark that would make even the most hardened angel spit out their holy water.
    Warning: This podcast contains strong language, unapologetic reality checks, and enough sarcasm to sink an ark. Listener discretion and a strong stomach are advised.
