Go Home Bible, You're Drunk

As a former evangelical turned atheist myself, I appreciate the irreverence and thoughtful analysis of the Evangelical world. It’s good to have people who were inside the system and broke out, help point out how weird the system is from the outside.

These atheists have brought the Bible back to life.

After having left the faith over 10 years ago, I didn’t immediately take the time to process how batsh*t crazy some of the teachings of Christianity really are. Tori and Justin have actually done something really unique here - So many others in this space primarily focus on the current perversion of the American church at large without diving into how the underlying scripture and doctrine of the religion itself is… well, drunk, to put it mildly! It would be all too easy to veer into a cynical nihilistic tone, but they manage critical discussion of the text while extending empathy to those who still live under its weight - because most of us used to be those people, after all! I can’t recommend this one enough. It’s well worth your time.

I’m love this podcast so much. I relate with Tori so much as I had the same upbringing and experience she talks about. I love the pointing out of hypocrisy and digging into the stories we grew up with and thinking about them critically.
