Go Home Bible, You're Drunk

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.

Real and open discussions about what many of us were raised to believe was true and right that turned out to be…not so true and quite often, very very wrong. I enjoy the intellectual discourse and appreciate the personal anecdotes the hosts share (so appreciated ep.86, especially after 19:40). It shines a light on how NOT normal the things I’ve left actually were. It’s a whole new, beautiful world out here!
