Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

Husband & Wife

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.

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.

Jeremiah Chapter 49: Atheist Bible Study
Apr 18 2024
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.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Patreon https://patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourseThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study BY Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/.

Jeremiah Chapter 48: Atheist Bible Study
Apr 17 2024
Jeremiah Chapter 48: Atheist Bible Study
Welcome back to our irreverent deep dive into the ancient soap opera that is the Book of Jeremiah, where the drama never ends and the smiting is always on schedule. In today's episode, "Jeremiah Chapter 48" we're serving up a hefty portion of divine wrath with a side of snark. Buckle up as we explore the highs, lows, and sheer absurdity of Moab's biblical beatdown.We kick things off with a brief recap, highlighting God's unfriendly fire toward nations with the reliability of a flip phone from 2003. Remember Egypt? That glitzy ancient empire with all the allure of a pyramid scheme? Yeah, Jeremiah's still not a fan. It's almost as if seeking aid from Egypt is the ancient equivalent of trusting a Nigerian prince email.Diving headfirst into the heart of the episode, we encounter the ever-resilient Moab, standing proud like a reality TV star before the inevitable fall from grace. God, doubling as the Simon Cowell of ancient prophets, dishes out judgments with the gusto of a passive-aggressive post-it note. As Moab's destiny unfurls like a cautionary tale on repeat, we ponder the futility of running from an omnipresent deity - spoiler alert: it's like trying to ghost your own shadow.The plot thickens with a celestial 'award ceremony' for prophetic achievements, because nothing says 'almighty' like handing out accolades for best apocalyptic screenplay. We're all about that biblical banter, turning lamentations into laugh lines as we juxtapose the customs of mourning with modern-day funeral preferences. Ever thought about showing up to a funeral in sackcloth? Apparently, it was all the rage in Moab's heyday.In our quest to lighten the mood, we pirouette around the ancient practices of shaving heads and slicing hands, wondering if there's an untapped market for emo-barbers and goth manicurists. We top off the episode by humorously speculating on the survival odds of ancient peoples, including the potential for Moabite reality TV spin-offs. Can you imagine "Real Housewives of the Rock Dwellings"?So if you're in the mood for a blend of historical roasting, theological skepticism, and a heavy dose of existential dread, you've hit the jackpot. Join us as we ask the hard-hitting questions, like: Why is Moab suddenly a female in distress? Is God's wrath the ultimate buzzkill for vintage wine? And most importantly, could a flute really wail if it tried?Don't forget to smash that subscribe button like the walls of Jericho and leave a review that shines brighter than Moses' glow-up on Mount Sinai. Catch you on the flip side, where we continue to question everything except our choice in podcasting. Until next time, stay skeptical and keep those critical thinking caps tight - it's a whimsical world of divine displeasure out there.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Patreon https://patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourseThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study BY Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/.

Apr 16 2024
Jeremiah Chapter 47: Atheist Bible Study
Buckle up, history buffs and scripture skeptics! This week on our irreverent deep-dive podcast, we're taking a scalpel to the so-called prophecies in "Jeremiah Chapter 47." That's right, it's time to slice and dice some divine prognostications and see if they hold up to the harsh light of historical scrutiny. Spoiler alert: It's not looking good for the Almighty's track record.In this episode, titled "Jeremiah Chapter 47," we're pulling the rug out from under the believers who cling to Jeremiah's words like a life raft in a sea of doubt. Was Egypt supposed to be ancient history? Did the Babylonians drop the ball? Why is the Land of the Pharaohs still kicking around, making the big guy upstairs look like he might've had a few too many ambrosial brews before firing off his predictions?Join us as we peel back the layers of this biblical onion, only to find more questions than answers. We'll look at a puzzling verse that claims an Egyptian king went WWE on Gaza—despite the glaring absence of any historical ringside tickets to prove it happened. Was it an allegorical smackdown? A metaphorical KO? Or just a prime example of divine hyperbole?From scrutinizing ancient Near Eastern alliances to debunking holy hit-lists, we're not letting anything slide. Our razor-sharp wit and unapologetic skepticism are on full display as we question every verse, every oracle, and every so-called prophecy that doesn't quite match up with the dusty history books.Whether you're a seasoned atheist, a casual skeptic, or just someone who enjoys a good historical head-scratcher, this episode of "Jeremiah Chapter 47" is the perfect blend of snark and scholarly sass. Tune in, and let's unravel these ancient riddles together—because sometimes the real miracle is how these stories have survived so long without a proper fact-check.Don't forget to hit subscribe for more myth-busting episodes, and leave us a five-star review if you love watching prophecies crumble like a sandcastle at high tide.

Apr 15 2024
Jeremiah Chapter 46: Atheist Bible Study
Strap in for a heretical ride as we take a blasphemous bash at Jeremiah Chapter 46 in our latest podcast episode! We're not prophets, but we predict a whirlwind of irreverent insights and skeptical scrutiny. Our dynamic duo of godless gabbers will leave no stone unturned—or should we say, no scripture unscathed—in this deep dive into the so-called prophecies that, spoiler alert, didn't quite hit the historical mark.Prepare for a heathen's take on the epic smackdown between Egypt and Babylon, where the 'omniscient' scriptural narrative stumbles over historical facts like a clumsy camel. We dissect the alleged divine foresight that seems more like a post-game commentary with a Babylonian fanboy twist. Listen as we reveal how the biblical text throws shade at Egyptian deities, reduces complex geopolitics to divine wrestling matches, and roots for the home team with a holy bias that would make even the most die-hard sports fans blush.Join us as we unpack the hyperbolic huffing and puffing of the Pharaoh, the legendary smack talk against foreign nations, and the absurdity of using medicinal metaphors to prophesy national health. Egypt's heifer-like pride? More like a biblical barbeque where the stakes are high and the steaks are burnt to a crisp. And don't get us started on the supposed "divine deliverance" of Israel. It's a tale of salvation that comes with more buts than a cigarette factory.And, because no episode is complete without a good ol' fashioned biblical roasting, we've got your fix of divine critique. How can a book so riddled with historical hiccups be the ultimate guide to morality and existence? If you're ready to question everything you thought you knew about ancient prophecies and enjoy some godless giggles along the way, this is the episode for you.Don't forget to bring your sense of sacrilege and your love for logical lapses, because we're tearing through the chapters with the ferocity of a Babylonian soldier on a bad day. Tune in, turn up the volume, and let's get apostate with it!Disclaimer: No actual heifers were harmed in the making of this podcast, but a few holy cows definitely got tipped.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Patreon https://patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourseThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study BY Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/.

Jeremiah Chapters 41 - 45 Q&A: Atheist Bible Study
Apr 13 2024
Jeremiah Chapters 41 - 45 Q&A: Atheist Bible Study
Prepare to be enlightened, or at least amused, as we dive headfirst into the murky waters of ancient religious texts in our latest podcast episode, "Jeremiah Chapters 41-45 Q&A." This isn't your Sunday school teacher's interpretation; we're getting down and dirty with the legends and lore of the biblical bad boys, Jeremiah and his trusty sidekick, Baruch. Join us as we sift through the divine detritus and sift out the gold dust of truth from the fairy tales.In this no-holds-barred episode, we'll tackle the big questions: Did Baruch die in Egypt or get a Babylonian Airbnb? Was he the OG prophet, a scribe with swagger, or just the ancient world's best ghostwriter? We're peeling back the layers of scripture like it's a theological onion, and yes, there will be tears – of laughter, that is.We'll explore how a dusty duo from the Bible became the rock stars of apocryphal fanfiction and ask the tough questions like, "Why the heck does Baruch have his own book, and why have most of us never heard of it?" Plus, we'll uncover whether our boy Baruch was throwing shade at the almighty by founding Zoroastrianism just because he didn't make the prophet cut.If you've ever wondered about the scriptural equivalent of a director's cut, we've got you covered. We're talking deuterocanonical drama, apocryphal anecdotes, and everything in between. We'll navigate the confusion between the Book of Baruch and the action-packed Maccabees saga – because who doesn't love a good biblical crossover?Buckle up, heretics and holy rollers, for a rollercoaster ride through biblical history, sprinkled with a generous dose of skepticism and seasoned with a dash of irreverence. It's time to join the sacrilegious book club you never knew you needed.

Jeremiah Chapter 45: Atheist Bible Study
Apr 12 2024
Jeremiah Chapter 45: Atheist Bible Study
Welcome back, heathens and skeptics! On today's episode of Sacrilegious Discourse, we're breaking down the biblical blockbuster, Jeremiah Chapter 45, with the same reverence as a televangelist at tax time. Get ready to witness the almighty prophet's secretary, Baruch, throw the mother of all pity parties – and yes, God RSVPs!We start with a bang, or rather, a divine whimper, as we discuss the Israelites' fondness for shiny false idols and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad consequences of their celestial side-hustle. Jeremiah's delivering more mixed messages than a drunk text at 2 AM, and we're here to decode every single one.Then, we travel back in time (because who needs narrative continuity?) to witness the fall of Pharaoh Hophra – it's like "Game of Thrones" but with more sandals and less dragons. Amidst this historical hangover, we meet Baruch, the man of the hour, who's having an existential crisis over some seriously first-world-prophet problems.We dissect the exclusive VIP message Baruch gets from the Big Guy upstairs, because apparently, even ancient scribes need a little divine pep talk to stop their moping. And let's not forget the political shenanigans in Egypt – it's like "House of Cards" with more plagues and fewer smartphones.Hold on to your fedoras, folks, because this chapter is shorter than a politician's promise but packed with enough drama to make Shakespeare blush. We're left with more questions than answers about Baruch's ultimate fate – will he rise to prophetic fame, or end up a footnote in Jeremiah's shadow? The mystery continues!Finally, we tease you with the promise of a Q&A Saturday that's as unpredictable as the Book of Jeremiah itself, and a sacrilegious book club on Sunday that's sure to be more blasphemous than a bacon-wrapped Bible.So grab your headphones and your sense of humor, because you're about to enter the unholy realm of Jeremiah Chapter 45 – where the prophecies are dubious, the history is messy, and the only thing sacred is our right to poke fun at it all.

Jeremiah Chapter 44: Atheist Bible Study
Apr 11 2024
Jeremiah Chapter 44: Atheist Bible Study
In this week's irreverent deep dive into the not-so-good book, we're tackling Jeremiah Chapter 44 with all the gusto of a scorned deity at a celestial mixer. Our snarky hosts pull no punches as they navigate the bewildering labyrinth of ancient Judah's decision to swipe left on Yahweh's Tinder profile and ghost him for the Queen of Heaven. Buckle up, heretics, as we dissect Jeremiah's last-ditch attempt to slide into the Judahites' DMs with warnings that have all the subtlety of a divine sledgehammer.Join us as we decode the divine drama where Jeremiah, acting as God's relationship counselor, tries to mend the frayed bonds between a deity with abandonment issues and his wayward people. It's an episode filled with more idol worship than a pop star's Instagram, and we're here to spill the tea on why ancient Judah wouldn't just give it up for Yahweh.We've got stones hidden in Egypt signaling Nebuchadnezzar's imminent swiping right on Judah's territory, and a cast of characters who've decided that, maybe, prophecies are more what you'd call "guidelines" rather than actual rules. Our hosts are serving up a heaping helping of skepticism and side-eye as they explore the ancient art of ignoring very clear and angry divine memos.From the mystifying melding of goddesses across cultures to the Jewish community's blasé attitude towards a vengeful God, this episode will leave you questioning how anyone kept their deities straight without a spreadsheet. And if you're wondering what happens next, well, so are we. It's like the writers of Jeremiah forgot to outline the ending, and we're left with the biblical equivalent of a "to be continued..." screen.If you've ever wondered what happens when you mix a wrathful god, stubborn people, and religious syncretism, this episode has got you covered. It's like a historical telenovela, only the stakes are higher, and there's more smiting. So grab your favorite drink, sit back, and enjoy the holy hullabaloo that is Jeremiah Chapter 44.

Jeremiah Chapter 43: Atheist Bible Study
Apr 10 2024
Jeremiah Chapter 43: Atheist Bible Study
Welcome back, fellow skeptics and scripture sleuths, to another episode of "You Can't Make This Stuff Up: The Bible Edition." This time, we're dissecting the divine drama of Jeremiah Chapter 43, where the plot thickens and the divine counsel seems more like a script from a B-rated spy movie.We start off with a bit of a facepalm moment as we lament our missed opportunity to geek out over the infamous number 42 in our last episode. But fear not, fellow Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy fans, we promise not to leave our towels behind this time as we navigate the murky waters of Jeremiah's alleged loyalty to Babylon—because, let's face it, nothing screams "divine inspiration" like a good ol' accusation of being a Babylonian snitch.As we delve into the accusations hurled at Jeremiah and his sidekick Baruch, we can't help but snicker at the biblical narrative's attempt to convince us of their innocence. It's like watching a bad episode of "I Spy" but with more sand and fewer cool gadgets. Seriously, if Jeremiah were any more of a double agent, he'd be wearing a tunic made of trench coats.Then, hold onto your atheist hats, because we're about to explore the comical relationship between Jeremiah and the Babylonian bad boy himself, Nebuchadnezzar. We ponder the responsibility of speaking on behalf of the divine and the repercussions when the message sounds suspiciously like it was phoned in from Babylon's war room.In a turn of events that nobody asked for, Jeremiah goes all HGTV in Egypt with a bizarre stone-hiding episode. Apparently, this was meant to foreshadow Babylonian conquests, but it comes off more like a prophet playing a high-stakes game of hide-and-seek with his credibility on the line.So buckle up, non-believers, as we take a not-so-holy stroll through the scripture, filled with espionage, ironies, and divine dilemmas that are as confusing as they are entertaining. Whether you're here for the biblical breakdown or just to hear us rant about the absurdities of ancient texts, we've got you covered. It's time to tune in, turn up the skepticism, and enjoy the show—because when it comes to the Bible, sometimes you just have to laugh to keep from crying.Remember to hit that subscribe button for more irreverent insights into the world's best-selling fantasy novel—aka the Bible.

Jeremiah Chapter 42: Atheist Bible Study

Jeremiah Chapter 42: Atheist Bible Study
Join us as we roll our eyes to the heavens—will they roll back?—in another irreverent dive into the murky prophecies of Jeremiah. In this episode, we sarcastically salute Jeremiah, the possible puppet master of ancient politicking, as we navigate the confusion that is Jeremiah Chapter 42. Is he a mouthpiece of the divine or just another strategist playing the game of thrones in Babylonian sandals?In "Jeremiah Chapter 42" we strip down the so-called prophecies and divine messages to their bare political bones. Did Jeremiah have a direct line to the Almighty, or was he just fumbling with the dials of power, trying to tune into the frequency of Babylon's favor? Our dynamic duo of skepticism doesn't miss a beat, delivering biting commentary and laugh-out-loud banter as they dissect a biblical drama that might just be a well-orchestrated ploy for control.We begin by exploring the oh-so-convenient ten-day divine delay. Was Jeremiah waiting on word from the heavens, or was he just stalling for time while he crafted his next political move? And let's talk about that choice phrasing of "your God"—are the remnants of Israel playing the loyalty card, or is this a subtle jab at Jeremiah's exclusive hotline to the divine?Dive into the debate over the so-called failed prophecy, where we humorously question the fairness of a god who'd rather smite the poor survivors than give them a break. Is it divine retribution or just an ancient scare tactic? Our hosts debate whether Jeremiah was serving a higher power or just his own ambitions.We wrap up the episode by examining the curious absence of Baruch, Jeremiah's right-hand man, and theorize on his mysterious role behind the scenes. Could he be the ghostwriter pulling the strings, or just a convenient plot device? Plus, don't miss the snide remarks about prophets being the political influencers of their day—trust us, it's a take hotter than the burning of Jerusalem.Tune in to "Jeremiah Chapter 42" where we leave no stone unturned and no prophet unmocked. We promise a heretical good time, filled with all the skepticism and historical intrigue you've come to love from your favorite irreverent guides to the good book gone bad. Subscribe, blaspheme, and laugh with us—because if we're going to hell, we might as well have fun on the way down.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Patreon https://patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourseThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study BY Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/.

Jeremiah Chapter 41: Atheist Bible Study

Jeremiah Chapter 41: Atheist Bible Study
Join us on this bewildering biblical joyride as we unpack the drama and confusion that is Jeremiah Chapter 41—sans Jeremiah. That's right, folks; our main man Jeremiah has apparently ghosted us. Dive into the latest episode of our irreverent podcast where we dissect the bloody aftermath of Jerusalem's fall, only to find that our so-called prophet is nowhere to be found. Was he on a coffee break? Did he have better things to do? Who knows!We're tearing through the pages of the Book of Jeremiah, and in today's episode, "The Curious Case of Jeremiah's MIA Status in Chapter 41: A Skeptic's Recap," we're left scratching our heads. We witness a tale of assassination, escape, and the totally-not-suspicious disappearance of our title character in the action. Gedaliah bites the dust, Ishmael goes on a killing spree, and the survivors hightail it to Egypt, all without a peep from Jeremiah. Is he playing hide-and-seek, or did the authors forget which book they were writing?Expect no-holds-barred commentary, eyebrow-raising conjectures, and a healthy dose of skepticism as we try to make sense of the biblical chaos. So, if you're up for a dose of dark humor mixed with a pinch of blasphemy, you're in the right place. Be warned: you may end up more confused about the Book of Jeremiah than ever, but at least you'll have a good laugh. And who knows, maybe Chapter 42 will bring our wayward prophet back into the fray—or not. Stay tuned to find out if Jeremiah reclaims his role or continues to give us the silent treatment.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Patreon https://patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourseThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study BY Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/.
