Acerca de esta escucha

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.

    Suck My Johnson (Act): How the IRS Just Gutted Church-State Separation (and Called It a ‘Family Discussion’)


    📝 Episode Summary:


    Buckle up, blasphemers—this week’s episode of Sacrilegious Discourse takes a red-hot poker to the Johnson Amendment, that dusty 1954 rule designed to keep churches from morphing into tax-free political machines. Spoiler alert: the IRS just whispered “go ahead” to pulpit endorsements—so long as it’s done in “good faith” (LOL), during “usual religious channels” (double LOL), and preferably with dark money and zero consequences.


    Hosts Husband and Wife—your favorite godless duo—break down how this IRS court filing didn’t technically change the law, just eviscerated it with a wink and a sermon. We’re talking about churches now being unofficial super PACs, taxpayer-subsidized political propaganda, and the creeping death of democracy dressed in clerical robes. There’s rage, sarcasm, and a brief detour into defining “harm” that turns into a full-on debate about free speech, Nazis, and why “family discussions” shouldn’t involve campaign endorsements and theocracy cosplay.


    They also torch the media’s milquetoast coverage—NPR, NYT, and Christianity Today all get dragged for their sins of omission, soft framing, and “both sides” nonsense. And yes, Wife literally shouts, “Let’s stand for the dick the way we didn’t stand for the vagina!” So if you thought we wouldn’t end this episode with righteous fury and a call to action… you must be new here.

  • Malachi Chapter 1: Bible Study by Atheists
    Jul 4 2025

    Malachi, Messenger of Mayhem: When God Hates Esau and Slams Your Goat Sacrifices


    📝 Episode Summary:


    Welcome to the divine roast of Malachi Chapter 1, where God kicks things off by saying “I love you” and then immediately follows it up with a detailed description of how much he hates Esau. Romantic, right? In this snark-laced breakdown, your favorite atheist duo dives into the last book of the Hebrew Bible—Malachi (or as we like to call it, Malarkey). Whether Malachi is a prophet, a messenger, or just some anonymous guy with opinions, nobody knows... and honestly, nobody in this book seems to either.


    We dig into theories about Malachi’s identity—Ezra? A Levite? God's celestial DoorDash angel?—and laugh through the hot mess of post-exilic tantrums disguised as prophecy. God is once again displeased (shocker), this time because priests are grilling up garbage-tier sacrifices and the people are phoning in their worship. There’s plenty of contempt, judgment, and a whole lot of theological gaslighting. Bonus: we compare God to Trump, decide Lindsay Graham might be Esau reincarnated, and try to figure out why the Almighty is obsessed with being feared more than loved.


    Come for the biblical takedown, stay for the rant about taxes, governors, and why giving God your blind goat is apparently the ultimate insult.

    • “Fear me, says the Lord—because love is too mainstream”
    • “400 years of silence incoming… and we get it”

  • Bible Study by Atheists Weekly: Zechariah Chapters 12 - 14 Q&A, Wrap Up, Contradictions and Specials!
    Jul 3 2025

    Zechariah’s Zombie Apocalypse, Divine Meltdowns, and a Bible Book Wrap-Up from Hell


    📝 Episode Summary:


    Hold onto your prophetic horses—this ain’t your grandma’s Bible study. In this irreverent breakdown of Zechariah Chapters 12–14, we hit peak theological absurdity: God turns Jerusalem into a drunken stumbling block, demands loyalty through magical fountains and plague-stricken horses, and ends with a bizarre image of people being forced to worship him with threats of drought and divine pestilence. Because nothing says “love me” like supernatural weather terrorism.


    But wait—there’s more! This oversized episode packs in our Q&A session (yes, we read your spicy, chaotic questions), a full Book of Zechariah Wrap-Up, a hearty helping of contradictions and inconsistencies, and even a couple of off-topic specials that spiral into discussions of Christian nationalism, prophecy bros, and how the apocalypse is apparently God’s favorite aesthetic. We laugh, we rant, we side-eye... and yes, we call out every ridiculous “prophecy” that’s aged like holy milk.

    If you’ve ever wondered how many ways one book can contradict itself—or how a divine war fantasy turns into mandatory holiday attendance—this one’s for you.

This couple are definitely "top shelf". They're what a beautiful marriage should be like, funny and forgiving (Husband is a great patient man 🤣😂). Great delivery and making this boring a$$ book bearable. Keep it up.

Too f🤬ing hilarious

This couple is great! Makes the task of reading this terrible book less daunting. Have to know it because people are trying to make laws and rules with this book as the backbone, and i would like to know where these "Christians" are coming from. There is a beautiful chemistry between these two, and I wish them the best!
