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 3: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Ezekiel Chapter 3: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Sink your skeptic teeth into this latest episode of our irreverently insightful podcast, where we take a no-holds-barred bite out of Ezekiel Chapter 3. We're dishing out a divine blend of biblical critique and side-splitting commentary that's bound to be your guilty pleasure—even if you're not into the whole 'guilt' thing. Get ready for a whirlwind tour of celestial fast food, hard-headed prophets, and God's peculiar preference for in-house messengers.
    Ever wondered if the prophets of old were just the biblical era's best performance artists? We've got you covered. In this episode, we scrutinize the Almighty's curious choice of cuisine and whether eating scrolls was Ezekiel's way of demonstrating his devotion, or just his attempt at securing the "Most Bizarre Diet" award in ancient Judah.
    Join us as we question the nutritional value of divine scrolls and debate the true flavor of the word of God. Was it truly as sweet as honey, or is that just what you tell yourself when you're choking down a mouthful of parchment? Plus, we dive headfirst into the deep end of prophetic responsibility. Could modern door-to-door evangelists learn a thing or two from Ezekiel's divine delivery service?
    We'll explore the ancient equivalent of receiving a DM from the deity, the complexities of being a watchman with the ethics of a stone wall, and why today's street preachers might be getting it all wrong. If you thought your job was tough, try being a prophet with the world's most unforgiving boss.
    Don't miss our tongue-in-cheek parallels to pop culture, where we equate Ezekiel's unwavering determination with your favorite fantasy heroes. And if you think a cherub-powered Uber is weird, wait till you hear our take on God's hard-headed approach to personnel management.
    So, if you're in the mood for a little blasphemy with your breakfast, or just need a good laugh at the expense of some serious scripture, tune in to our Ezekiel Chapter 3 roast. It's like attending the best Bible study ever—minus the belief part, and with way more booze. Remember to like, share, and subscribe for more sacred snark and divine debate. God may not be watching, but we hope you are!

    Ezekiel Chapter 2: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Ezekiel Chapter 2: Bible Study BY Atheists

    In this irreverently insightful episode of "Heavenly Hallucinations or Holy Revelations?" your favorite skeptic duo takes a deep, sarcastic dive into the puzzling pool of Ezekiel Chapter 2. Get ready to suspend your disbelief—or not—as we tackle the almighty's bizarre commandments to our favorite biblical head case, Ezekiel. From heavenly scrolls that double as celestial snacks to the absurdity of God's witness protection program that doesn't quite protect, we're unpacking the prophetic madness with a side of snark.
    As we venture further into the scripture's labyrinth, we ponder the peculiar fate of prophets like Jeremiah. You know, the one who God assured was under His mighty wing—only to end up possibly stoned (and not in the good way) in Egypt. What's up with that, Big Guy upstairs? If this is divine shielding, we'd hate to see divine neglect.
    Don't think we'd leave you without addressing the so-called 'son of man' term that gets tossed around like a heavenly hot potato. We dissect its significance and usage, all while debating if Ezekiel was merely a puppet on God's string—or, dare we say, a golem in prophet's clothing?
    Amidst the theological dissection, we share behind-the-scenes shenanigans featuring our feline co-host, whose litter box antics provide more reliable entertainment than Ezekiel's trippy prophecies. Join our Discord channel to continue the conversation, where we swap holy texts for riveting debates on everything from atheism to the exciting universe of home appliances. Samsung washers, anyone?
    In this episode, we invite you to laugh, learn, and maybe even facepalm with us as we navigate the whirlwind of Ezekiel's alleged revelations. Hit that subscribe button for more divine comedy and not-so-holy discussions. This is the podcast where ancient scriptures get a modern roast, and no holy cow is too sacred.
    Don't miss out on the heavenly heresy—join us as we bring the blasphemy back to biblical analysis, with a healthy dose of humor and a dash of doubt. After all, if we can't question the so-called divine word, what can we question?

    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."

    Lamentations Contradictions: Bible Study BY Atheists

    Get ready to toggle between facepalms and jaw-drops as we take you on a biblical roller coaster through the confounding conundrums of Lamentations in our latest episode, "Lamentations Contradictions." 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.

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.
