Lamentations Wrap Up: Bible Study BY Atheists

Season 25, Ep. 6

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.

Join us as we unpack the perplexing cherubim of Ezekiel – a fantastical creature that seems to have an identity crisis between chapters.

    21:33
    Strap in, sinners and saints, because the divine hit list just got real in Ezekiel Chapter 9. Our atheist podcast duo is back, slicing through the biblical fog with their razor-sharp wit, to dissect a God who seems to have an affinity for celestial tattoos and a severe case of wrath management issues. It's a celestial slaughterhouse out there, and only the marked ones can escape the deity's bloodthirsty penchants. But fear not, our irreverent hosts are here to guide you through the insanity with a snarky recap that'll leave you questioning the moral fiber of the big guy upstairs.Join us as we unravel the not-so-mysterious case of divine "justice" where kids, sadly, don't get a free pass, and angels are apparently moonlighting as hitmen.

It's an episode where ancient prophecies are held up to modern scrutiny, and spoiler alert: they don't fare well.So, if you're ready to have your faith in holy texts tested, or just want a good laugh at the expense of some biblical absurdities, tune in for this episode of "Ezekiel Chapter 9."

  • 10. Ezekiel Chapter 8: Bible Study BY Atheists

    25:21
    Prepare yourself for an irreverent romp through the ancient temple tantrums of the almighty as we dive headfirst into Ezekiel Chapter 8 on our latest episode of the most blasphemously hilarious podcast this side of the Pearly Gates. Our dynamic atheist duo tears into the Biblical drama with the kind of snark only true skeptics can muster, proving that divine visions can be as laughable as they are fiery.Ezekiel's getting the celestial Uber treatment again, folks! This time, his VIP pass to God's own peep show reveals Israel's fondness for idol worship and other gods, much to Yahweh's chagrin. Watch out, because when God's temper flares, it's more than just brimstone and smite – it's a full-on divine comedy of wrath that even Dante would double-take at.In this episode, our hosts aren't just poking fun at the holy fireworks; they're questioning the sanity of a deity who throws heavenly hissy fits at the sight of a few misplaced idols. The ancient Judeans are turning to every deity but Yahweh, and honestly, who can blame them? With Babylon knocking on their doors, our podcasters speculate that it might just be time to swipe right on some new divine profiles.Between cheeky banter and candid observations, we also discuss the mysterious rituals of yore, like the baffling "branch to the nose" gesture that has our hosts scratching their heads. Was it an ancient bird flip, a religious rave, or just another divine typo lost in translation? Who knows, but it sure does make for an entertaining debate!Join us as we dissect every idol curve and prophetic misadventure, where we don't just walk through the valley of the shadow of death – we crack jokes and take names. If you thought the Old Testament was just fire and brimstone, prepare to be enlightened by the only light we need: the spotlight on absurdity. And hey, while you're here, why not support us on Patreon for more sacrilegious banter that's worth every penny? Or don't. After all, in the end, it's just another day in Ezekiel's wacky world of wrath and repentance.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKNOW hosting LIVE episodes every Monday and Wednesday night on YouTube and Twitch!**Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sacreligious_discourse**YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5rpfCzaWhEaP198xgY7CFwSkip 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/.
  • 9. Ezekiel Chapter 7: Bible Study BY Atheists

    29:37
    Join us for a rollicking ride through the biblical doom-fest that is Ezekiel Chapter 7, where the good book decides that subtlety is for the weak and goes all in with its favorite pastime: smiting with extreme prejudice. If you thought the Old Testament had run out of ways to express its divine rage, think again! This episode of our snark-filled podcast is a deep dive into the repetitious realm of holy fury and mortal screw-ups that would make even a Quentin Tarantino flick look like child's play.Our hosts, the ever-skeptical duo armed with irreverence and a hefty dose of critical thinking, tackle the latest chapter of Ezekiel with the same enthusiasm one might reserve for a dental appointment without anesthesia. They wax eloquent on the ever-popular themes of God's anger management issues, the art of divine overkill, and the ancient Israelites' apparent hobby of collecting detestable practices like they're going out of style.In this episode, we dissect the ancient prophet's colorful yet monotonous warnings that could give Groundhog Day a run for its money. The biblical writers hit us over the head with a 'the end is nigh' placard so many times, it's a wonder there's any head left to hit. We question the over-the-top depictions of a God who seems to have missed the memo on proportional response, as He dials the destruction up to eleven for offenses that, let's be honest, wouldn't even warrant a misdemeanor in today's courts.We don't shy away from controversy either. Just when you thought mixing religion and politics was last season's faux pas, we take a stab at the current affairs like the proposed Billy Graham statue in the Capitol, proving that idolatry is alive and well, and living in Washington D.C. It's a conversation that promises to walk the line between the separation of church and state with the grace of a drunk tightrope walker.For those of you who've grown numb to the biblical narrative's penchant for violence and retribution, you're in good company. Our hosts' commentary provides a refreshing alternative to the scripture's somber tone, turning what could be a snooze-fest into a laugh-out-loud critique of the text's more, shall we say, 'creative' moments.But wait, there's more! If you enjoy the juxtaposition of ancient prophecies and modern-day musings, then you're in for a treat. We connect the dots between Ezekiel's end-of-days shenanigans and our own contemporary experiences, proving that some things, like bad decision-making and the consequences thereof, are timeless.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKNOW hosting LIVE episodes every Monday and Wednesday night on YouTube and Twitch!**Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sacreligious_discourse**YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5rpfCzaWhEaP198xgY7CFwSkip 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/.
  • 8. Ezekiel Chapter 6: Bible Study BY Atheists

    20:12
    Strap in, non-believers and scripture enthusiasts alike, because in this eyebrow-raising episode of our blasphemously humorous podcast, we're dissecting the divine hissy fits of the Almighty as depicted in the wild ride that is Ezekiel Chapter 6. Your sacrilegious hosts—known for their devilishly sharp wit—are ready to escort you through the Biblical theme park of God's wrath, complete with idol demolition and a celestial temper tantrum that would make any toddler proud.Dive headfirst into a discussion that’s less holy scripture and more divine roast as we unpack the not-so-subtle nuances of ancient Israel's high-altitude idolatry. We'll explore why God's threats of destruction sound less like omnipotent judgment and more like the aftermath of a heavenly kegger gone wrong. It's a no-holds-barred critique, where altars crumble, incense holders shatter, and the Almighty's own PR team would likely advise Him to take a chill pill.And just when you thought it couldn't get any more sacrilegious, we'll ponder over the Bible's impact on pop culture, drawing lines from ancient texts to Tarantino's cult classic "Pulp Fiction." You’ll find out why the prophet Ezekiel might just be the original influencer of doom and gloom—and why we're absolutely here for it.Don't miss the part where we discuss God’s weirdly specific fetish for smashing incense holders (does He have something against pleasant scents?) and Ezekiel’s bizarre hair prophecy (seriously, who needs a hairdresser when you've got a prophet with a divine blade?). It's an episode that promises to be as educational as it is irreverent, as enlightening as it is entertaining, and as snarky as it is... well, snarky.And hey, if you've been teetering on the brink of becoming a patron of our heathen haven, this is your sign from the gods (or lack thereof). We’re on a divine mission to hit our Patreon goals and deliver even more ungodly content your way. Your support could be the difference between podcast purgatory and enlightenment.So tune in, turn up the volume, and prepare for a scriptural smackdown that only the bravest of heretics could love. This is Ezekiel Chapter 6: God's Divine Tantrum & Idol Smashing Spree—where sacred landscapes meet sinful acts, and ancient prophecies get a modern makeover. Amen, and pass the popcorn.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKNOW hosting LIVE episodes every Monday and Wednesday night on YouTube and Twitch!**Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/sacreligious_discourse**YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5rpfCzaWhEaP198xgY7CFwSkip 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/.
