1. Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 1 - 2
29:24Husband and Wife cover Leviticus chapter 1: Burnt Offerings; and chapter 2: Meal Offerings. Pretty sure this is all a grift run by Moses and Aaron. Very short chapters this week so Wife gets distracted by imagining how men's n-balls arrange themselves in Speedos. DO NOT send us your pics, for all that is holy, or we will use yeast in your next grain offering.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57dThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/Leviticus 1 and 2 describe the various sacrifices that the Israelites were required to make to God. These sacrifices were intended to atone for sins and to express devotion to God.From an atheist perspective, these chapters can be seen as a reflection of the primitive beliefs of the Israelites at the time. The idea that God requires animal sacrifices to be appeased is a barbaric one, and it is clear that the Israelites had a very limited understanding of the universe and their place in it.The fact that these chapters are still included in the Bible today is a testament to the enduring power of religion. It is also a reminder of the importance of critical thinking and the need to question traditional beliefs.In addition to the moral implications of animal sacrifice, it is also important to note that there is no evidence to suggest that these sacrifices were actually effective in appeasing God. In fact, the Bible itself tells us that God is a forgiving God who does not require blood sacrifices in order to forgive our sins.In conclusion, Leviticus 1 and 2 are two chapters of the Bible that are best understood in their historical context. They reflect the primitive beliefs of the Israelites at the time, and they have no relevance to the modern world.Help support us by subscribing on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourse

2. Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 3 - 4
29:57Husband and Wife cover Leviticus chapter 3: Peace Offerings; and chapter 4: Sin Offerings. Husband is possessed by a demon (or maybe he just sneezes). We wonder how they keep all these random arbitrary rules straight - splatter there, sprinkle here, burn it where? We name our next band Long Lobe of the Liver.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57dThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/Help support us by subscribing on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourse3. Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 5 - 6
39:11Husband and Wife cover Leviticus chapter 5: Sin Offerings (cont.) / Trespass Offerings; and chapter 6: The Law of the Offerings. Aaron and Moses were straight-up running a racket, and we are surprised to learn that people way back then were charging interest. Too many boring laws that basically boil down to "Don't steal or whatever." Seriously tho: Who bit Husband and why?Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57dThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/Help support us by subscribing on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourseLeviticus 5-6 is a continuation of the laws given to Moses on Mount Sinai. These chapters focus on various types of sacrifices and offerings.In Chapter 5, the Israelites are instructed to make sacrifices for various sins, such as perjury, sacrilege, and negligence. The specific sacrifice required depends on the severity of the sin. For example, someone who commits perjury must bring a ram or a ewe as a sacrifice. Someone who is guilty of sacrilege must bring a bull as a sacrifice.Chapter 6 deals with burnt offerings, grain offerings, and fellowship offerings. Burnt offerings are made to God as a sign of devotion. Grain offerings are made to God to express gratitude for His blessings. Fellowship offerings are shared between the Israelites and God.As an atheist, I find the laws in Leviticus 5-6 to be quite interesting. They provide a glimpse into the religious beliefs and practices of the ancient Israelites. However, I do not believe that these laws are relevant to modern society. I believe that everyone should be free to practice their religion in whatever way they see fit, as long as it does not harm others.I also find it interesting that the laws in Leviticus 5-6 focus so much on sacrifices and offerings. This suggests that the ancient Israelites believed that they could appease God by making these offerings. However, I do not believe that God needs to be appeased. I believe that God is a loving and compassionate being who does not require sacrifices or offerings from us.Overall, I find the laws in Leviticus 5-6 to be interesting, but not relevant to modern society. I believe that everyone should be free to practice their religion in whatever way they see fit, as long as it does not harm others.4. Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 7 - 8
38:37Husband and Wife cover Leviticus chapter 7: The Law of the Offerings (cont.); And chapter 8: The Consecration of Aaron and his sons. We read about , because obviously there are . Wife wants to know how long it takes a hoof to burn. Husband contemplates pissing on Aaron's tabernacle.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57dThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/Help support us by subscribing on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourse5. Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 9 - 10
30:35Husband and Wife cover Leviticus chapter 9: Aaron Offers Sacrifices; and chapter 10: The Sin of Nadab and Abihu. Folks get killed for -- get this -- "burning the wrong kind of fire" and their siblings are ordered not to grieve on threat of further murder because mental health apparently wasn't a thing back then. We're pretty sure that Moses is a mf psychopath and all this god stuff is merely his way of controlling everyone. Honestly it's all a bit horrifying.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57dThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/Help support us by subscribing on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourse6. Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 11 - 12
40:35Husband and Wife (somehow, despite the odds, manage to) cover Leviticus chapter 11: Clean and Unclean Animals; and Leviticus chapter 12: The Purification of Women after Childbirth. Wife screws up and causes a do-over of the first half, then loses her ever-loving mind during the second half of the show. We wonder what is the difference between SOME cud versus THE cud. We want to eat an alligator but definitely not a hyrax, whatever tf that is.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57dThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/Help support us by subscribing on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/sacrilegiousdiscourse7. Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 13 - 14
45:55Husband and Wife cover Leviticus chapters 13 and 14: Laws Concerning Leprosy. Leprosy seems to be an umbrella term for anything from zits, to burns and blisters, to mildew. God literally states that he might, on a whim, contaminate some people's houses. Husband decides he would rather just live in the leper colony than try to figure out which laws apply on any given day.
