Religion & Spirituality Podcas

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.

Isaiah Chapters 25 - 29 Q&A

12/3/2023
Hold on to your hats folks, because in this episode we dive deep into the mysterious world of Isaiah chapters 25-29, and yes, it's just as chaotic as it sounds. Husband and Wife venture into the puzzling city that will never be rebuilt and explore the equally baffling Leviathan. For those who've ever wondered about the presence of zombies in the Bible, you're in for a treat. Then, we grapple with the perplexing tale of Ariel - not the mermaid, but Jerusalem's alter ego. Prepare to marvel at how God's sarcastic usage of this name critiques the city. And because the Bible wasn't confusing enough, we decided to throw in our personal experiences with the divine. For those looking to add some extraterrestrial depth to their Biblical knowledge, you've come to the right place. We also delve into a fiery Jewish legend and hint at future episodes on Patreon and Isaiah, chapter 30. And don't worry, if the Bible ever starts making sense, we promise to throw in more convoluted chapters and legends to keep you on your toes. If you're looking for an intellectual adventure or just a good laugh at the contradictions and complexities of the Bible, then join us for this spiritual rollercoaster ride. It's like a treasure hunt, but instead of gold, we're unearthing baffling Biblical myths and legends. Spoiler alert: It's a wild ride.

Isaiah Chapter 29: Bible Study for Atheists

12/3/2023
Strap yourselves in folks, as we dive headfirst into the twisted roller coaster of the Book of Isaiah in this podcast episode. First up, we're decoding the chillingly dramatic poetry of Isaiah 29, where God throws a celestial temper tantrum and threatens to smite Jerusalem and its enemies. Ah, nothing says divine love like impending doom, right? In the second part of the episode, we put on our critical hats and dissect God's rules and their relationship with human actions. Here, we tackle the audacious habit of blaming God for human failings - a blame game that seems grossly unfair given the vague instruction manual he allegedly left us. We also delve into the portrayal of God as a somewhat limited entity in religious texts, which frankly makes us question the whole omnipotence thing. Of course, we couldn't leave out the ongoing tug-of-war between science and religion. Get ready for some juicy analysis linking this age-old conflict to modern-day events and education. Hint: It doesn't look good for those refusing to evolve (pun intended). Oh, and don't forget to stay tuned for our upcoming episodes, which include a Q&A session, Patreon releases, and our next regular episode, Isaiah chapter 30. We promise it's going to be a blast (no divine smiting involved). In short, if you're up for a rollercoaster ride through ancient texts with a side of modern-day skepticism, this episode is for you!

Isaiah Chapter 28: Bible Study for Atheists

11/30/2023
Strap in folks, as we set off on yet another wild ride through the wacky world of Isaiah in our latest episode. This time, we’re critiquing the glaringly harsh depiction of alcoholism in Isaiah 28, expressing our confusion, frustration, and quite frankly, a heavy dose of despair at the lack of any constructive solutions offered. But hey, we aren't the ones writing this stuff! Switching gears, we ponder some seriously deep theological questions like God as an alien and the relevance of ancient beliefs in the modern world. Spoiler alert: we're not convinced. We also take a critical look at God's character - and boy, do we have some doubts. Seriously, this deity has some issues. We take a crack at deciphering a parable about farming - turns out, God might be a agriculture instructor? Who knew? And then we delve into the absurdity of sticking to outdated beliefs in a world that’s moved far beyond them. To sum up, we've got another classic mix of critiques, deep thoughts, and a healthy dose of skepticism. So tune in, have a laugh, and join us on our unending quest to make sense of this ancient text. Trust us, it's more fun than a night in with Leviticus.

Isaiah Chapter 27: Bible Study for Atheists

11/29/2023
In this rollicking episode of our atheist podcast, we're diving into the wild, weird world of Isaiah. Be prepared to suspend your disbelief as we tackle 'God zombies', question the peculiarities of biblical language, and attempt to understand why God would create something just to destroy it. Spoiler alert: we don't find a satisfying answer. We also explore the enigma of Leviathan, a sea monster who, like many biblical figures, gets a seriously raw deal. Then, we navigate the choppy waters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, linking it to the intriguing phrase "run, run away, flee". We don't claim to be experts, but we do believe in the power of conversation to inspire change. And if you're wondering if we keep the snark and humor dialed up throughout these serious topics - you bet we do. Tune in as we traverse the book of Isaiah, with plenty of laughs, disbelief, and perhaps even a hint of sympathy for poor old Leviathan. After all, aren't we all just trying to avoid being destroyed by an angry deity? Remember, Bible study has never been this fun... or irreverent!

Isaiah Chapter 26: Bible Study for Atheists

11/28/2023
Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about the Bible as we take a deep dive into Isaiah 26 in this episode. Come with us on a rollercoaster ride as we question the validity of divine intervention, try to make sense of the complexities of righteousness, and even dabble in some pop culture by comparing the invisible hand of God to Wonder Woman's invisible airplane. You might think we're being sacrilegious, but we're just trying to make sense of it all. In this episode, we go beyond the usual banter and invite you into our personal experiences and beliefs. We talk about the age-old struggle between faith and peace, the elusive concept of proof in God, and the downright perplexing idea of a jealous and vengeful deity. And, of course, we'll be doing it all with our signature humor and skepticism. To keep things interesting, we wrap up the episode by discussing a fun interpretation of Isaiah 26 - could it be the script for a zombie apocalypse? We're not saying it is, but we're not saying it isn't either. Join us as we challenge traditional interpretations, explore new perspectives, and maybe even give you a chuckle or two. Be warned, you might leave with more questions than answers. But hey, that's what makes it all the more fun, right? So grab a cup of coffee (or a glass of wine, we won't judge) and let's get questioning!

Isaiah Chapter 25: Bible Study for Atheists

11/27/2023
Hey there, heathens! Buckle up, because we're diving back into the baffling world of biblical prophecies in the latest episode of our podcast: 'Decoding Isaiah's Apocalyptic Visions and Divine Promises.' Ever wondered what God’s plan for the end of the world looks like? According to Isaiah, it's a wild roller-coaster ride of God laying waste to cities, being both feared and revered, and throwing an epic feast on a mountain, followed by, of course, the grand finale - the end of death. Exciting, right? After an unplanned break (because yes, even godless folks like us enjoy a good holiday and birthday shindig), we're back to try and make sense of Isaiah's fear-inspiring awe of God, which apparently equates fear with love. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about the nature of reverence. We also venture into the territory of the end times, a topic that never fails to amuse us. Isaiah seems to be on a roll with some serious vitriolic language against Moab and other nations. We debate whether these are mere cautionary tales or a glimpse into a doomsday future. Either way, it's sure to tickle your skeptical funny bone. Join us on this enlightening (or should we say, entertaining) journey through the Book of Isaiah. Trust us, even if you don't end up with a heightened understanding of these profound prophecies, you're guaranteed a good laugh and possibly a new perspective on biblical prophecy. Because remember, as atheists, we don't just read the Bible - we question it, we challenge it, and yes, we poke fun at it. Tune in now and let's venture together into this captivating (and slightly hilarious) world of biblical prophecy!

On today's ride, we're kicking the tires of prophecy with a pit stop in Isaiah. Buckle up as we run the gamut from Babylon to Edom and Arabia, deciphering predictions that were probably written after the fact but are impressively specific (if you squint just right). We even dust off Paul Revere's famous quote, because, hey, why not? In our second act, we'll dive into Jerusalem's sins and some guy named Shebna. Spoiler alert: Shebna's ego was bigger than his belief in prophecies, and well, it didn't end well for him. But fear not, Eliakim's on the rise. In our third act, we'll explore Isaiah's Oracle and the tragic tale of Tyre, a city brought low by unchecked pride. From thriving commercial hub to complete oblivion. Plus, a riveting Q&A session where we attempt to answer your burning questions. Stay tuned for our next episode, where we delve into the mysteries of Isaiah chapter 25.

Welcome, sinners and saints, to yet another divine journey into the thrilling pages of the Bible! This week, we delve into the prophetic pages of Isaiah, chapter 23, where we find God dishing out his signature smiting against all those cheeky chaps who thought they could give him the cold shoulder. We'll be unwrapping the doom and gloom prophecies about the obliteration of Tyre, but don't worry, we'll be serving it with a generous side of laughter, a dollop of pop culture, and a sprinkling of Monty Python references for good measure. We also veer off the beaten path to discuss the unparalleled hilarity of Jimmy Kimmel's mean tweets, while stumbling upon a fascinating biblical verse about a city that takes on the oldest profession in the world. We'll even delve into the world of clever t-shirts and the profound philosophical message hidden in the lyrics of a biblical prostitute's song. Spoiler: It's not about self-love. Stick around as we poke fun at the complex web of money in churches as described in Isaiah, chapter 23. But the fun doesn't stop there! We'll also be hosting engaging discussions on our Discord channel after the show and on every Tuesday at 10PM EST. We'll also have an upcoming Q&A on Saturday where we all get to put on our theology caps and dissect these biblical prophecies with the precision of a well-aimed divine lightning bolt.

In this chaotic and confusing episode, Husband and Wife delve into the labyrinth of prophecies in Isaiah, chapter 22. They journey through the townsfolk's obliviousness to an imminent battle, the civilization's hedonistic tendencies despite impending doom, and a chilling revelation that their sins won't be pardoned. The hosts hilariously struggle to decode the cryptic language and barrage of names, leading to a fair share of banter and eye-rolls. They discuss how much easier life would be if prophecies were clear and straightforward instead of beating around the biblical bush. The episode ends with them labeling Isaiah as a 'fuck stick' for his frustrating prophecies and a warning that Q&A sessions will be critical for understanding this confusing book. They promise to be back with Isaiah, chapter 23, with an implicit guarantee of more confusion, laughter, and candid commentary.

But don't worry, it's not all fire and brimstone!

Isaiah Chapters 16 - 20 Q&A

11/19/2023
Strap in, non-believers, for an episode chock-full of wild prophetic gymnastics that would give even Nostradamus a run for his money. Dive into the perplexing world of Isaiah's prophecies, where historical context gets blurry, timelines are fluid, and vague statements are treated as profound truths. Listen in as we untangle the so-called prophetic judgment on Moab, a society seemingly destined to play perpetual pinball in the biblical narrative. Experience the dizzying whirlwind of Isaiah's compassionate plea for humanity, an intriguing paradox within a book filled with smiting, judgment, and divine vengeance. Delve into the convoluted enigmas surrounding Ethiopia and Egypt, where the role of 'God's chosen tool' is passed around like a game of divine hot potato. You'll marvel at the audacious interpretations of biblical scholars who make quantum physicists look like amateurs when it comes to bending reality. Finally, try to keep a straight face as we discuss the consequences of God smacking Egypt with 'foolish counsel' and 'cruel rulers'. And yes, we will discuss the hot topic of Isaiah's clothing (or lack thereof) - because nothing says 'divine message' like public nudity.

Isaiah Chapter 20: Bible Study for Atheists

11/17/2023
This episode of our bible study for atheists presents a comedic deep-dive into the peculiar commandment given by God to Isaiah - to roam about nude and shoeless for three years. Husband and Wife jovially wrestle with this odd mandate, the prophet's nudity, and its role as a warning against Egypt and Kush. They entertainingly picture Isaiah strutting about with a 'naked swagger' and discuss the sheer absurdity of such a directive being taken seriously today. They also comically conjecture on the responses of those who depended on Egypt and Kush, witnessing their allies paraded around in their birthday suits. The hosts spotlight the peculiarity of God utilizing nakedness as an instrument for prophecy and humiliation, making light of the tangled tales within these Isaiah chapters. In the episode's second half, they express excitement about their upcoming Q&A session, looking forward to demystifying the puzzling scenarios they've encountered in their bible study for atheists so far. They eagerly await future revelations and the ongoing unfolding of Isaiah's narrative, hinting at the unpredictable nature of the biblical story. The episode concludes with a brief recap and an enthusiastic anticipation for the next dive into Isaiah, chapter 21.

Isaiah Chapter 19: Bible Study for Atheists

11/16/2023
Prepare for a humorous exploration of Old Testament prophecies in this episode of our atheist bible study podcast. As proud atheists and skeptics, we take a deep dive into the perplexing prophecy against Egypt in Isaiah Chapter 19. Grab your detective tools as we scrutinize the divine and ponder why God prefers destruction to diplomacy. With a sense of humor, we make entertaining comparisons between the tribulations of the Egyptians and the voyage of Moana from the renowned animated movie. Prepare to reevaluate your comprehension of divine authority, Egyptian idols, and the growth of Christianity in Egypt through this atheist bible study. We assure you a fast-paced analysis of Isaiah's prophecy, peppered with unexpected pop culture allusions, wit, and a substantial dash of skepticism. As we challenge the apparently harsh actions attributed to God, we also satirize the influence of the Israelites leaving Egypt on the advent of Christianity in the region. Brace yourself for an episode from our atheist bible study that leaves you with more questions than answers and a more profound understanding of the Old Testament. Remember, we tackle this from the perspective of two atheists, so prepare for some irreverent, unconventional, and amusing interpretations of biblical narratives. Spoiler alert: anticipate some jabs at God's alpha male image and his subpar communication skills. While we may not believe in God, we certainly have a blast discussing his story in our atheist bible study!

Isaiah Chapter 18: Bible Study for Atheists

11/15/2023
In this laugh-out-loud episode of the podcast, our charmingly irreverent hosts Husband & Wife dive into the metaphorical waters of Isaiah, Chapter 18, and it's as puzzling and mystifying as you'd expect from an ancient religious text. This episode, 'Isaiah Chapter 18' is an intellectual and hilarious roller coaster ride where religion, history, and '80s pop culture come together in a chaotic but surprisingly enlightening blend. This is no Sunday school lesson. Husband & Wife are here to puzzle over the perplexing allegories of Ethiopia, the Land of Whirring Wings, and the rivers of Kush, and question the odd depiction of tall, smooth-skinned people with a strange language. In their hands, even a harvest metaphor transforms into a thrilling and entertaining examination of human nature. You'll be entertained and probably a bit baffled as they explore divine phrases that compare dwellings to shimmering heat in the sunshine and a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest. But don't think this is all stuffy theology. Husband & Wife boldly take the biblical ship into the unexpected territory of '80s pop culture, finding the humor in comparing Star Trek to the Bible. With the wit of a seasoned comedian and the insights of a keen observer, they reveal the absurdities and truths hidden in our culture and religion. From dissecting prophecies to joking about ancient pop culture, Husband & Wife's audacious and witty take on the Book of Isaiah is a delight for skeptics, critics, and anyone who enjoys a hearty laugh at the expense of antiquated religious texts. So strap in for a journey that's part spiritual exploration, part historical expedition, and 100% hilarious.

Isaiah Chapter 17: Bible Study for Atheists

11/14/2023
Isaiah Chapter 17: Join us as we plunge headfirst into the cryptic world of biblical prophecies, focusing specifically on Isaiah Chapter 17. Be prepared to giggle as we stumble through the labyrinth of perplexing metaphors and ominous predictions. The episode delves into the foretold destruction of Damascus and the curious allegory of Ephraim's fortified city vanishing into thin air. With our characteristic humor, we attempt to unravel the hidden meanings behind the abundance of olives and grapes in the text. The episode questions whether these fruits are really just stand-ins for the inhabitants of these ancient cities or whether the authors were just particularly fond of Mediterranean cuisine. Be prepared to laugh out loud as we explore the central role of divinity, grapes, and prophet Isaiah in these narratives. In an interesting twist, we ponder if the survival of grapes and olives through the ages is due to their alleged 'fear of God.' After all, who knew fruits had such complex theological beliefs? This episode promises a hearty blend of history, culture, spirituality, and prophecy, all served with a side of sarcasm and humor. Tune in to laugh, learn and be utterly bemused by the complex and often baffling world of biblical prophecies. And if you're left scratching your head, don't worry, you're not alone! Isaiah Chapter 18 awaits us in the next episode - let's hope it's less fruit-heavy.
