Often we’re told that we need to read the bible. That it would cure us of our atheism. We’re told that the bible is perfect and all answers come from the bible. Welp, let’s take a look at what the bible actually says.
Every week Josh summarizes stories from the bible that Linz is hearing for the first time. There’s no easy outs on this one. No one telling us, “Here’s what the bible really means” then adding stuff that’s not actually there. No one telling us, “The culture was different” when explaining why God didn’t let us all know that women are equal. Let’s see if this is truly the Word of God or just a way for politicians to control their people thousands of years ago.
You’re in for one hell of an experience. There’s incest. Uncles swapping out daughters left and right. Talking animals. Dogs and cats living together. Mass hysteria. You’re going to love it.

    Hey folks! For our episode today we're changing things up. We're going to be switching to a more "seasonal" model. The plan is we'll get a few episodes lined up around a theme and put them out weekly. So that's the plan, but you should still listen to the episode because we're really funny when we explain it. Like funnier than I was when I just explained it, which wasn't really funny at all.Also, we got a great message from a listener named Patience!"You're beautiful." - James BluntSend us a ...

    Pshitty Psalms

    We read a selection of Psalms suggested by AI to figure out if this ancient book of songs holds up to the hype.It doesn't.Despite Josh's warnings that we might find the material repetitive and dull, we plunge ahead with open minds, only to discover that the Psalms are boring as Pshit. I don't have anything more to say about it. Why don't YOU have something to say about it?!

    1 Kings Pt. 4 - Adventures in Kingdom Splitting

    1 Kings Pt. 4 - Adventures in Kingdom Splitting

    The kingdom of Israel splits into two separate nations after the death of King Solomon. His son Rehoboam ascends to the throne and when the people ask him to not be a dick like his dad. But his friends goad him into doubling down on his dickishness. He should have listened to Nancy Reagan and just said no to peer pressure!So Jeroboam comes back from Egypt to take control of the northern kingdom of Israel while Rehoboam maintains control of the southern kingdom of Judah (oh yeah, and Benjamin)...

Serious study and humorous debate

These are great stories from the bible with the sheep sex jokes! I love it!

Love this!

Just discovered your podcast and am loving it! I’ve always been an atheist, but felt like I had to be “in the closet”. With more and more people moving away from organized religion, it’s now more acceptable to talk about the fallacies of religion, and what utter nonsense the Bible is. Am also from Michigan 🙂, now live in Colorado.

Great Non-theistic Edutainment

Great fun coverage of the religious text without the pressure to buy into it. I’ve wanted to know more about these stories but don’t really have the time or fortitude required to get through them myself. Also nice having insight from two formerly religious hosts on how different things have been interpreted by different branches of Christianity over time. Fun book club vibes.
