Bible Study by Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 23 - 24

Explicit content warning

04/15/24 • 37 min

Get ready to turn your holy chuckles into full-blown guffaws as your favorite irreverent duo, Husband and Wife, tackle the biblical behemoth known as Leviticus in the latest episode of "Sacrilegious Discourse." In chapters 23 and 24, we're taking you on a blasphemous journey through God's party planning manual and his not-so-divine justice system. From sacred shindigs that sound about as fun as watching paint dry to a stoning that's anything but groovy, this episode serves up a hefty portion of skepticism with a side of snark.

Join us as we explore the festive flop that is the Lord's list of holy days. Are they timeless traditions or just outdated entries in an ancient rulebook? Spoiler alert: we're leaning towards the latter. But don't worry, we'll give you all the juicy details, from what qualifies as a "magnificent" tree (hint: it's not just one that hasn't been peed on) to the intricacies of unleavened bread and why it might just be the original low-carb diet.

Then, brace yourself for a divine decree that's more eye-roll-inducing than awe-inspiring. We dissect the Lord's laughable laws on blasphemy, where the punishment is stoning, but the logic is as missing as mercy in the Old Testament. Plus, we've got a showbread competition that could rival any modern-day bake-off—if only it weren't for that pesky frankincense requirement.

So, if you've ever wondered how ancient rituals and rules stack up in the modern world, or if you just enjoy a bit of holy humor, this episode is your manna from heaven. Hit play, join the heresy, and remember: it's all in good fun... unless you're the one being stoned.

Bible Study for Atheists: Leviticus Chapters 21 - 22

Prepare to be anointed with irreverence as we, your heathen hosts, dissect the oh-so-sacred texts of Leviticus chapters 21 and 22 with our godless goggles firmly in place. In this episode of "Bible Study for Atheists," we take a holy romp through the divine demands placed on ancient priests and the hilarious hierarchy of holiness that would make even a stand-up comedian blush. We've got it all: rules about virgin brides, the outright banning of the disabled from the priesthood, and the laughable link between spiritual purity and avoiding dead bodies (unless, of course, they're part of your inner circle).

Join us as we unpack the Almighty's peculiar playbook for his chosen leaders - where grooming habits and the sanctity of your junk can make or break your divine career. We're raising a skeptical eyebrow at the Bible's mix of discrimination and dress codes, and questioning why the Man Upstairs is so darn concerned with who touches what and when.

We've also got a side of sacrilegious sex work talk, sprinkled with a bit of comic book confusion for flavor. Plus, we serve up a hot take on the ceremonial cleanliness shenanigans that have us wondering if Leviticus was less inspired by a deity and more by someone's obsessive-compulsive disorder.

If you thought religious rituals couldn't get more absurd, think again. This is "Bible Study for Atheists," where the only thing we take seriously is our commitment to taking nothing seriously. Tune in, or you'll miss out on our divine revelations that come with a 100% guarantee of no eternal smiting.
