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.

    Jeremiah Chapter 52: Atheist Bible Study

    Jeremiah Chapter 52: Atheist Bible Study

    Get ready for an irreverent romp through the biblical end-times with our scathing review of Jeremiah Chapter 52! In this episode, your favorite godless guides take you on a rollercoaster ride of ancient drama as we dissect the so-called divine hand behind the downfall of Zedekiah and his not-so-merry band of Judeans. Buckle up as we question the celestial management skills that led to the epic facepalm moment of Jerusalem's destruction.
    Our snark-infused commentary doesn't hold back on the absurdities of divine retribution, as we wonder aloud if the Big Guy upstairs might have benefited from a crash course in Anger Management 101. With a healthy dose of skepticism, we poke fun at the supposed spells and curses that sound more like a high fantasy novel than a revered text.
    As the last king of Judah, Zedekiah's catastrophic fail gets the full treatment, and we're not talking about a spa day. We can't help but marvel at the divine fickleness, where heavenly favor seems as stable as a game of Jenga during an earthquake. And don't even get us started on the loot-and-scoot strategy of Nebuchadnezzar's goons as they plunder Jerusalem's treasures, including every last bronze spoon – because who doesn't need a divine set of cutlery?
    And just when you thought it couldn't get any more riveting, we bid adieu to the book of Jeremiah with the anticipation of diving headfirst into the abyss of Lamentations. Spoiler alert: we're not expecting a feel-good rom-com. So join us for this blasphemous breakdown and remember, whether you're a believer or a proud heathen, there's no better place to indulge in some holy mockery than right here with us.
    Don't forget to subscribe for more godless goodness as we continue our quest to find logic in the labyrinth of scripture. And hey, while you're at it, drop us a line during our Q&A session where we tackle the tough questions, like "Can pomegranates get you into heaven?" or "How many Babylonians does it take to screw in a bronze lampstand?"
    Tag along for a divine comedy, or tragedy, depending on how you look at it, and let's see if we can cast our own spell of reason on these ancient texts. Until next time, keep your wits sharp and your blasphemy sharper!

    Jeremiah Chapter 51: Atheist Bible Study

    Jeremiah Chapter 51: Atheist Bible Study

    Welcome back, heathens and skeptics, to another blasphemous breakdown of the Bible, where this week, we're sinking our heretical teeth into the juicy chaos of Jeremiah Chapter 51. Fasten your atheist seatbelts because we're cruising through a chapter that makes Game of Thrones look like child's play, with God pulling a full-on mafia boss move on Babylon.
    If you thought divine retribution was all about ethereal justice, think again. In this episode, we expose the Almighty's thirst for vengeance that would make even the pettiest of exes blush. We're talking full-scale celestial smackdowns, with our omnipotent overlord laying the smack on Babylon like a divine Don Corleone.
    As we traverse through this scripture slaughterhouse, we question the moral fabric of a God who seems to get his divine robes in a twist over Babylon. Spoiler alert: this deity's vengeance plan involves more flip-flopping than a politician in election season. One minute, he's using Babylon as his personal wrecking ball; the next, he's ready to tear them a new one. Talk about mixed signals!
    But wait, there's more! This chapter's not just a fire-and-brimstone fest—it's a prophecy palooza. We delve into the paradoxical prophecies that have end-times enthusiasts more excited than conspiracy theorists at a UFO convention. Are we living in the last days, or is this just ancient fear-mongering repackaged for modern doomsayers?
    We're dishing out all the irreverent insights and laugh-out-loud commentary you've come to expect, with enough snark to make Satan himself crack a smile. It's a rollercoaster ride through the hellscape of biblical horror, complete with psychedelic cicada zombies, because why not?
    So if you're ready to have your faith in ancient texts tested or just need a good laugh at the absurdity of it all, join us for "Jeremiah Chapter 51: When Gods Get Petty." And remember, it's all fun and games until someone gets smote—then it's just another Tuesday on our podcast.

    The Satanic Temple (Patreon Teaser)

    The Satanic Temple (Patreon Teaser)

    Dive into the fiery depths of controversy with us as we explore the often misunderstood Satanic Temple (TST) in our latest eyebrow-raising podcast episode. Discover how this non-theistic group uses the Prince of Darkness as a mascot for social justice, flipping the script on religious norms and sending the pious into a pearl-clutching frenzy.
    Join us as we tear down the stereotypes and reveal TST's true mission: a cocktail of empathy, reason, and advocacy, served with a side of sacrilegious humor. From their headline-grabbing Baphomet statue to their devil-may-care approach to reproductive rights, we dissect how TST is trolling theocracy one satirical campaign at a time.
    But wait, there's more blasphemy where that came from! We're dishing out the juicy details on TST's most recent stunt: the audacious naming of their new abortion clinic, where donors with a penchant for the number 666 get a shot at eternal infamy. We'll even share our favorite (and most heretical) name suggestions.
    Whether you're a card-carrying member of TST or just a sinner seeking some unhallowed laughs, this episode is your ticket to the infernal. Tune in, if you dare, and witness how The Satanic Temple is redefining the boundaries of religious freedom and giving the middle finger to the establishment.

    Jeremiah Chapter 50: Atheist Bible Study

    Jeremiah Chapter 50: Atheist Bible Study

    Join us for a hilariously heretical romp through Jeremiah Chapter 50, where we unravel the supposed wrath of an indecisive deity with a penchant for geographical puzzles and a flair for the dramatic. In this episode, we dissect the bizarre and often contradictory prophecies that have left us scratching our heads and questioning the divine game plan – if there ever was one.
    As your favorite skeptic duo, we're not afraid to call out the absurdities in the Good Book, and this chapter has them in spades. From a God who uses nations as pawns in His celestial chess game only to turn around and chastise them for following His script, to the sudden appearance of ostriches as if they were the latest addition to Noah's Ark – we've got it all.
    We kick things off with a critical look at the supposed divine justice dished out to Babylon – a nation that, let's face it, was just doing what it was told. We delve into the repetitive cycle of vengeance and the baffling concept of inherited sin, all while chuckling at the Almighty's apparent need for constant validation. Spoiler alert: He's still not getting it from us.
    And of course, what would our show be without some behind-the-scenes antics? In this episode, we're not alone – our feline co-host makes sure to keep things interesting, offering the perfect counterbalance to the heavy themes of doom and gloom with her purr-fect interruptions.
    Whether you're a seasoned atheist looking for a good laugh or a curious theist with a sense of humor, this episode is guaranteed to provide a fresh and snarky perspective on the tales of old. So, grab your favorite beverage, leave your reverence at the door, and let's dive into the mayhem of biblical prophecy with a side of kitty comedy.

    Jeremiah Chapter 49: Atheist Bible Study

    Jeremiah Chapter 49: Atheist Bible Study

    In the latest irreverent deep-dive, your favorite godless guides embark on a rollicking journey through the biblical rabbit hole of Jeremiah Chapter 49. It's an episode that raises more eyebrows than divine inspiration as we navigate the tumultuous waters of supposed divine wrath and geographical gaffes. Join us as we expose the bewildering fate of tribes that God can't seem to decide whether to smite or spare, in "Jeremiah Chapter 49."
    Prepare to have your ancient Near East map flipped upside down as we unravel the perplexing case of the Ammonites and Moabites – tribes that the Big Guy in the Sky previously scheduled for divine deletion, yet here they are, back in the narrative like an unwanted sequel. We tackle the head-scratching prophecies that see these so-called obliterated nations pop up again like bad pennies, defying heavenly extinction and narrative consistency.
    As we march through the episode, expect a heavy dose of sarcasm as we critique the hyperbolic language that paints God as a petulant child with a magnifying glass aimed at ants. The divine penchant for destruction gets a thorough roast, and the odd comparison of warriors' fears to the pains of childbirth? Yeah, we've got a bone to pick with that tired metaphor.
    Buckle up for a snark-filled examination of divine judgement, where the logic is flimsy and the prophetic messages read like a celestial game of Whack-a-Mole. And if you thought the Almighty was all about unique punishments, think again. This episode showcases a deity with a one-trick-pony approach to smiting – a playbook that apparently only has the page for "razing cities" dog-eared for frequent use.
    Tune in for an episode that's equal parts biblical scholarship and blasphemous banter. We'll laugh, we'll scoff, and we might even learn something – like how not to write a holy book. Whether you're a die-hard atheist, a Bible buff, or just someone who enjoys a divine comedy, "Jeremiah Chapter 49" is the sacrilegious scripture study session you didn't know you needed.
    Don't forget to hit that subscribe button, unless, of course, you're afraid of a little lightning.

Game girl 09 ,

Great podcast!!

Husband and Wife do a great job of making the bible not so boring. I have started reading the Bible several times, but always got too bored and annoyed to keep going. Wife’s reading and narration skills, including funny voices, keep me interested in what’s happening. Husband’s jokes are right on par with my sense of humor so I feel right at home. I also like the fact that they call out the garbage, hypocrisy, and unrealistic nonsense. (I mean a talking donkey, seriously, this book is clearly a fairytale) if Husband and Wife can make it though the whole Bible I will be right there with them until the end!

They make it fun

Wish they were around to help me slog through one of the worst small book groupings ever. So far. Deserves negative reviews.

Atheist bible study ripoff

Honestly,
Listen to atheist bible study. Much better. Not sure which one is ripping off the other one. But this one got annoying real quick. And the adds are insufferable.
