If you've been wondering how to make ancient biblical prophecies relevant while simultaneously poking fun at boomers and unpacking the trans experience, well, you're in for a treat—or an irreverent slap in the face, depending on your sensibilities. Welcome to the latest episode of our podcast, where we dive into the deep end of religious texts with the finesse of a bull in a china shop.
First up on our sacrilegious chopping block is the heart of Jeremiah. You know, that Old Testament prophet who specialized in doom, gloom, and the occasional consolation prize for those he didn't utterly condemn. We asked the hard-hitting question: Is there anything in Jeremiah's ancient tweets that hasn't been covered by the last twenty-eight prophets we've endured? Spoiler alert: it's a no from us. Jeremiah's hot take on life is as fresh as last millennium's manna.
But wait, there's more. We discuss the infamous Jeremiah Chapter 30 and its bewildering cameo as Chapter 37 in the Septuagint—because who doesn't love a good translation discrepancy to spice up their scripture study? We might not have all the answers, but we sure do enjoy pointing out that even holy texts aren't immune to a good old-fashioned game of telephone.
Then, as if the stormy skies of biblical prophecy weren't enough, we tackle the tempest of generational divides. We pay a backhanded compliment to the boomers who are trying their darnedest to understand the LGBTQIA+ community—bless their technologically-challenged hearts. It's like watching a VHS tape try to play in a Blu-ray player: admirable, but ultimately incompatible.
We explore the trans experience through a biblical lens, which, let's be honest, is about as clear as mud smeared on a stained glass window. But it's 2023, and we're here for it. In our world, there's room for Zombie David fan fiction, and we're not talking about King David's reanimated corpse—though that would be a killer plot twist.
As we wrap up, we touch on the biblical prophecies that Christians love to claim foreshadow Jesus. It's like finding patterns in the static of a TV—squint hard enough, and you'll see whatever you want. Our conclusion? These prophecies have about as much to do with Jesus as we have with winning the lottery.
