[00:01:15] Welcome to sacrilegious discourse. I'm husband and I'm wife together

[00:01:19] We're reading the Bible for the very first time we grew up without religion and wanted to know what all the fuss was about

[00:01:25] Well, what do we learn so far that God is a dick and apparently some people believe in talking donkeys

[00:01:32] We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts. Nope

[00:01:34] We're just reading the Bible for the first time and given our first take reaction

[00:01:38] If you'd like to join us in this venture you might consider starting that episode one

[00:01:42] Otherwise jump in wherever you like. All right. Let's go read the Bible. Yeah, let's get to it

[00:01:48] I

[00:01:50] Husband wife, do you remember what we did yesterday and where the hell we are today?

[00:01:55] Well yesterday we read Ezekiel chapter 24 we sure as fuck did and in that chapter God was boiling the

[00:02:04] Jerusalem the Jerusalemites. Yeah, those guys

[00:02:09] Judah Judah was boiling Judah and Jerusalem Judeans the Judeans. Yes

[00:02:14] And they were like choice me and whatever and he's gonna boil them and yeah, it was bad

[00:02:18] He's gonna he's gonna kill him and also his wife died or something

[00:02:22] That was Ezekiel. I mean God was boiling the people in Jerusalem

[00:02:26] Yeah, Ezekiel's wife was gonna die when that's like a prophecy when this all comes down or whatever got it

[00:02:32] Which struck me. I thought she died

[00:02:36] She died and then he was like don't cry about it

[00:02:40] What I see is that it was they will dice

[00:02:44] They will die it was part of the prophecy. Yeah, they will die but she dies first

[00:02:49] No, no, no, no, no, okay. He was part of the prophecy

[00:02:53] Okay, she will die with Jerusalem when they get attacked so it was part of the prophecy of yeah

[00:02:57] But he gave the prophecy the day that they got attacked

[00:03:04] Okay, yeah, okay, you might be right you might be right

[00:03:08] I apologize I could be I could absolutely be wrong there

[00:03:12] So I thought it was a prophecy like cuz we're doing prophecy. Yeah

[00:03:16] Well, it was in that he's like your wife's gonna die and when that happens don't cry about it

[00:03:23] Cuz that's gonna be what you tell those folks and then when those folks come around asking you why aren't you crying and shit then

[00:03:32] He's like you're you're gonna get it too got it and then

[00:03:36] He told them that on the same day that

[00:03:41] Jerusalem was being boiled. Yeah

[00:03:43] Yeah

[00:03:44] All right

[00:03:46] So before we get in well, no that was a sorry is he you know what I cut you off before and I'm cutting you off again

[00:03:54] To tell you why I cut you off before

[00:03:56] You were gonna say it struck you. Oh, yeah, yeah, it struck me that

[00:04:01] Ezekiel's wife

[00:04:02] I don't think has been mentioned thus far in Ezekiel

[00:04:05] I don't think so either and it just struck me as weird that that was like some

[00:04:09] You would think if it was something Ezekiel would have cared about we would have heard about her prior to chapter 24

[00:04:15] Yeah, I don't know it just it feels and also what does his wife think about when he had to lay on the ground for a

[00:04:20] Year and a half. I still think he murdered her. You think so. Yeah, okay

[00:04:24] I think he murdered her it could be could be and then he wrote in

[00:04:27] Why he wasn't mourning. He's kind of crazy. He's very weird. He's got a lot of issues

[00:04:32] I think he's psychotic probably probably that the fucking eyeballs and the

[00:04:37] Angels and the wheels and that kind of cued me a little bit. Yeah. Yeah, I don't think he was quite right, right, right?

[00:04:44] So before we hop into what we're doing today and do you want to mention one thing?

[00:07:30] Okay, it's a really short chapter, but there's some interesting stuff in it

[00:07:34] So I'm kind of excited about one of the things because it's it addresses one of your favorite movies

[00:07:41] Oh, yeah, oh, this will be fun

[00:07:43] I actually thought that was next chapter not this chapter, but that's exciting. So you know what I'm saying

[00:07:49] Oh fuck. Yeah, I do. Oh, okay. Yeah, definitely do okay

[00:07:53] Cuz I I look this up well before we ever got like I look this up like I've been looking this up since we started reading the Bible

[00:08:00] Well, okay, go ahead and tell me what it is. It is from Pulp Fiction

[00:08:04] I

[00:08:06] Was gonna tell you it is when oh my gosh

[00:08:09] It's been years since I've seen the movie now

[00:08:11] So but it's when and I'm not prepared because I thought it was next chapter right so but it's when

[00:08:17] Samuel L. Jackson is there

[00:08:19] Jules Winfield Jules Winfield. Yeah him and

[00:08:23] What's the Jesus John Travolta?

[00:08:26] Camerabers name of the movie

[00:08:27] Whoever he is they're in the room with the three guys that were like their drug dealers or something like that

[00:08:31] They had a they had the briefcase, right? Actually, he gives that speech that you're about to address three separate times

[00:08:37] Does he really okay? All right. This is the most memorable one for me

[00:08:40] Mm-hmm, and so he quotes this verse from Ezekiel as part of his

[00:08:47] I'm gonna shoot you. I'm gonna shoot you. I I'm killing you. I'm gonna you're gonna die

[00:08:51] Well, you'll be interested to learn some stuff about this. Yeah, okay? Okay sounds great. Yeah

[00:08:57] I think I might even

[00:09:00] When we get to it, we need to like pause for a second so I can like insert because I would that was planning on inserting that

[00:09:06] Quote okay in the middle of the podcast because it to me

[00:09:09] It's very relevant. Well, it's like one of my favorite things from that movie

[00:09:13] I've seen that movie like a gazillion fucking times. I know so I've only seen it twice

[00:09:19] I hated it the first time I didn't really love it or hate it the second time

[00:09:24] But the first time I saw it under like shitty circumstances and that kind of tainted my view of it

[00:09:29] Sure, that's why I watch it again with you because I knew how much you loved it

[00:09:33] Yeah, and I was like, okay, I see why you love it, but it was still like it was too much for me

[00:09:37] Right, so I'm like, okay

[00:09:39] I mean it's not for everybody, you know, so I mean it's Quentin Tarantino. He's not everybody

[00:09:45] Yeah, so no, but I get it and I'm glad I rewatched it so that I can get it

[00:09:49] Do you remember when we were watching when we went to the movie theater to go watching glorious bastards? Yes

[00:09:53] What happened there was an old couple there? Yes, there was right behind us and

[00:10:00] They watched the like when we walked in when we walked in and we saw them you and I whispered to each other

[00:10:06] I wonder if they realize that they know this is Quentin Tarantino and are they prepared right and then

[00:10:13] They sat through the whole thing and they were like, huh on the way out

[00:10:18] They weren't like in love with it. No no in fact they were making comments about I don't that's not historically correct

[00:10:25] Yeah, they were there were making like all kinds of wrong

[00:10:29] Comments about it and we're kind of cute. It was it was and honestly

[00:10:34] I appreciated their take on it because they were coming in kind of like we're coming into the Bible not going knowing what's going

[00:10:40] All right, that's fair. They were coming into a Quentin Tarantino movie fresh

[00:10:45] Not knowing anything about it not knowing anything about him or his film style

[00:10:50] Yeah, and so it was kind of cool to hear their take and to be quite fair

[00:10:57] They did not critique the style

[00:11:00] They did not critique

[00:11:02] The goofiness in that movie they didn't critique a lot of the like over-the-top stuff

[00:11:07] It was mostly just the historical inaccuracies, which is like the least problematic thing of the movie. Yeah

[00:11:14] Yeah, so well, but at the time I think they were old enough that when we saw that they might have

[00:11:20] Been on the cusp of even he might have been on the cusp of maybe even haven't been in World War two

[00:11:24] Yeah, I don't know for sure he was definitely old enough to have been

[00:11:29] Aware of World War very yeah, if not even the age to serve right right?

[00:11:35] So yeah, they they would have had some opinions for sure for sure, but they weren't they weren't mad

[00:11:41] I don't think they were just like that wasn't right. Yeah, didn't that's not how that went right right

[00:11:48] So I just thought it was interesting. Yeah, definitely. Okay, but we're not talking about Pulp fiction

[00:11:52] No, although we are we are yeah, yeah

[00:11:54] Okay, so let's read this ready. Yeah, guess what happened

[00:11:59] Let me hold on. This is gonna be a rough one. God talk to Ezekiel probably yes

[00:12:04] The word of the Lord came to me. Yeah, Ezekiel. Yeah, son of man

[00:12:08] No, yeah, I'm your human you fucking worm set your face against the Amonites

[00:12:14] Okay, and Amonites and prophecy against them. Okay, we've got three other people. We're gonna yell that you have a quick question here

[00:12:21] Why are the Amonites gonna give two fucks? What does he feel says to them? Okay, so we're gonna get there

[00:12:27] Okay, okay. All right. Yeah, but he's yelling at four specific people for some shitty things that they did

[00:12:34] Okay, okay. This is sounds like he likes to rant a lot. That's why

[00:12:38] He totally does

[00:12:39] Okay, so say to them hear the word of the sovereign Lord

[00:12:43] This is what the sovereign Lord says he says I says I says because you said aha

[00:12:50] Over my sanctuary when it was desecrated and over the land of Israel when it was laid waste and

[00:12:56] Over the people of Judah when they went into exile

[00:13:00] Therefore bitches, I'm going to give you to the people of the East as a possession

[00:13:05] Mmm, they will set up their camps and pitch their tents among you. Yeah, they will so part of his punishment for the Israelites

[00:13:13] Was that they were gonna be the scorn and the the neighbors were gonna mock them

[00:13:20] But now that the thing that he made happen because he's God right like God makes things happen

[00:13:26] This is part of his punishment for his own people. Mm-hmm that he's enacting. Yes

[00:13:31] Now he cares what they're doing and he's going to punish them for it

[00:13:36] Yeah, is that that where we're going with this kind of yeah, I'm gonna give you a few notes on this

[00:13:41] No, I was kind of clarify irritated with God

[00:13:44] In this book and cannon because he's kind of a dick and it makes literally no sense

[00:13:49] No, not at all. So so these people they're gonna come among you. They're gonna live among you

[00:13:54] Yeah, they're gonna eat your fruit and drink your milk

[00:13:58] I will turn roba into a pasture as a capital city

[00:14:02] Yeah for camels and a mon into a resting place for sheep

[00:14:06] Then you will know that I am the Lord for this is what the sovereign Lord says

[00:14:11] Hold on I have a grazing place for camel and a resting place for sheep. That sounds rough

[00:14:17] It doesn't sound anywhere near as rough as what he says about the about you know, yeah

[00:14:22] He has said that's gonna be a wasteland and like, you know

[00:14:26] They're gonna be burned and piled up and bodies to run and these are

[00:14:31] Important cities. Yeah, and so he's saying that they're gonna be basically laid bare and they're gonna go to these nomadic Arab tribes

[00:14:39] Got it. You're not gonna be cities anymore. Okay, you're not gonna be you know hubs

[00:14:45] You're not gonna be like places of trade and quote-unquote civilization. Yeah, you're you're gonna be done

[00:14:52] You're gone. Your your land is going to be agriculture and

[00:14:57] Animals now by right so I mean to us it sounds like

[00:15:01] Idealic and like, you know postcard kind of like oh that's kind of nice sure

[00:15:07] But for them that would have been the worst

[00:15:11] Yeah, right

[00:15:13] For this is what the sovereign Lord says because you have clapped your hands and stomped your feet

[00:15:18] Rejoicing with all the malice of your heart against the land of Israel

[00:15:22] Therefore I will stretch out my hand against you and give you as plunder to the nations

[00:15:26] I will wipe you out from among the nations and exterminate you from the countries

[00:15:32] I will destroy you and you will know that I'm the Lord

[00:15:36] There's been some really rough language with regard to how they say things here lately

[00:15:41] there was the like something about the

[00:15:47] Pure or something I can't remember what it was but like a lot of this stuff feels very

[00:15:52] Nazi-ish. Yes, you know yes termination and

[00:15:57] Like they were talking about

[00:15:59] Like pure something or like it was very you had to be this one thing or else you were bad, right? Yeah

[00:16:06] I

[00:16:07] Don't like a lot of this talk because I feel like it's been enacted for really

[00:16:12] heinous things in the past

[00:16:14] Could be still in the future feels like what is happening to the Palestinians currently

[00:16:20] Yeah, so not not here for it, right

[00:16:24] So let me just tell you a little bit about what we just read before I move on okay

[00:16:28] So the Ammonites were basically punished for gloating maliciously when Judah fell okay, and like I said the land is now going to be

[00:16:36] Occupied by nomadic Arab tribes sure okay

[00:16:39] Yeah, they the Ammonites had taken wicked delight in seeing Jerusalem and its temple destroyed

[00:16:46] So now's God gonna he's gonna give them what guy? Yeah, and they're gonna be overrun by the desert tribesmen from the east

[00:16:54] Okay, and we'll hear that again is one saying the tribesmen from the east or the people from the east

[00:16:59] Okay, who will turn Ammon cities into pasture lands for their animals? So that's like what I was saying

[00:17:06] Yeah, okay, so just to kind of like simplify it

[00:17:10] They were happy and let it be known they were happy when Israel fell sure when Judah fell

[00:17:16] Yeah, so God's like fuck you for that right okay, so whatever I'm like

[00:17:21] You were supposed to had got rid of the Ammonites way back right and if you had it wouldn't have been a fucking issue

[00:17:26] But whatever right so okay now we're moving on to Moab okay, all right

[00:17:31] This is what the sovereign Lord says because Moab and Seir said look

[00:17:37] Look Judah has become like all the other nations therefore. I will expose the flink of Moab

[00:17:44] beginning at its frontier towns Beth just shemoth

[00:17:48] but all may on and

[00:17:51] Coriah

[00:17:52] They am the glory of that land okay

[00:17:55] I will give Moab along with the Ammonites to the people of the east as a possession

[00:18:01] So that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations

[00:18:04] And I will inflict punishment on Moab then they will know that I'm the Lord

[00:18:10] It didn't really get they were doing anything bad there. He's still talking trash about the Ammonites

[00:18:15] Like and also fuck Moab while we're at it. I'm gonna take care of Moab right so basically what happened Moab is being punished for

[00:18:22] Gloting and stating that Judah is like all other nations

[00:18:25] Which is considered to be an insult to Yahweh

[00:18:28] Cuz fuck you they are Moab's another nation, right?

[00:18:32] Right, I mean like they don't fucking care that Yahweh cares of whatever so like any nation wouldn't say that

[00:18:38] You know, right? I know I know I totally agree with you

[00:18:41] They thought that God was powerless to protect his temple from devastation

[00:18:46] So they're put it there like act was a little more egregious

[00:18:50] Like the Ammonites were just like ah-ha y'all fell. Yeah, whereas Moab was like ah-ha y'all fell and your God

[00:18:59] sucks. He's so fucking weak got it and so

[00:19:03] therefore similar to Iman the

[00:19:06] Land of Moab is gonna be given to those same tribes. Okay. Yeah, so

[00:19:11] It's basically like

[00:19:13] They pissed me off worse than you did because I'm a petty little fuck and I worry about my image

[00:19:18] Yeah, you didn't just laugh at them. You laughed at me

[00:19:20] But in the past he's cared what they think of him, you know

[00:19:23] Like these neighbors that he's talking about whatever I don't want them to think I'm evil and now he's like, you know

[00:19:29] What I don't care. I will kill you right right

[00:19:32] But not I just I don't but not all these years

[00:19:36] He could have dealt with Egypt the same way but instead he's dealing with these little tribes

[00:19:40] Well, it's because it's about political and then and military power, right? Yeah, there's nothing to do with a God

[00:19:45] It has to do with the actual

[00:19:48] Politics on the ground and the reality that they're living in but that's what I'm saying like these little itty-bitty

[00:19:54] Comparatively speaking right these little itty-bitty places. He's like okay. I'm gonna decimate you

[00:20:00] Like if you actually gave a shit about your people, why were you allowing these powerful nations Babylon?

[00:20:07] Assyrians

[00:20:09] Egypt, you know

[00:20:11] Can cananites like all of that right?

[00:20:14] Right. Chels Chels Chelsie Chaldeans. Thank you Chaldeans

[00:20:18] Like all of these huge powerful forces these nations

[00:20:23] You were too weak to knock them down because you aren't real, right?

[00:20:29] so like

[00:20:31] But that goes against the story, you know what I'm trying to say like if you really gave a shit about your people quote-unquote

[00:20:38] God, why did you allow these giant nations to kick your people around and

[00:20:43] Why is your show of force only against these little guys? Well, not only that these nations have been building for

[00:20:50] Centuries right they haven't it's not like they just popped up overnight and became superpowers. They're basically cousins too

[00:20:57] the

[00:20:58] Israelites but there was there was a long history of them getting to that point

[00:21:04] They were much more successful than the Israelites. Yeah, why were they much more successful than the Israelites?

[00:21:10] Probably because they did things better or had more resources or I don't know

[00:21:15] Or if you want to talk about magic their God seemed to be yeah, yeah sure whatever their idols were better

[00:21:21] Is what it sounds like to me yeah, like they they didn't maybe have a fear of the Lord and suck his dick thing going on

[00:21:27] Sure, they just had a you know

[00:21:29] Seeing to your little statue and fuck on the hills and occasionally burn a baby

[00:21:33] Well, and when you think about ancient gods, right?

[00:21:36] Hold on hold on. I said occasionally burn a baby and like I expected either laugh or respond

[00:21:43] Just to be clear no child sacrifice. Yeah, okay. Sorry. That's not good. Yeah, right

[00:21:49] Sorry, I did I was I was already in my thought train. So I apologize

[00:21:55] Yeah, so I don't remember what I was gonna say now

[00:21:59] it was I

[00:22:00] Think that the gods of oh when you when you think about ancient gods

[00:22:06] You don't think about Yahweh, right?

[00:22:09] Like I know that they are in that same timeframe back then but like you think of Egyptian gods or Greek gods and all this stuff

[00:22:16] Those are the ancient gods that you think of right? Yeah, at least to me you're looking in from the outside

[00:22:22] Yeah, right like that's how I always envisioned it Christianity and

[00:22:27] To be fair. I never really knew much about Judaism, right?

[00:22:31] So but Christianity to me always seemed like this newer

[00:22:35] Yeah

[00:22:37] So but and then Judaism was newer compared to the ancient gods because all they did was

[00:22:45] Combine some of the ancient shit sure. Yeah, no, it's true, but I don't even throw them in the same mix like no

[00:22:52] The God Yahweh, I don't I don't put him in that ancient God realm right? It's it didn't really become a thing for I

[00:23:00] Don't know it just it just doesn't strike me the same way

[00:23:03] And I know that that's probably our Western culture and who you know, we grew up around Christians

[00:23:08] So we only learned Christianity right in our in our subset of the world sure

[00:23:12] So that's probably just my vantage point, but from where I'm sitting

[00:23:17] It doesn't seem like Yahweh was around at the same time Thor was you know, right right so yeah

[00:23:23] But there was some overlap. Yes, there was overlap, but it was towards the end of one

[00:23:29] Before it was the beginning of the other one not necessarily like there was the the Christianity didn't take hold in I mean

[00:23:36] Are you talking about Christianity or Judaism?

[00:23:40] Right, but Judea

[00:23:42] Christianity took hold from the ancient Roman gods

[00:23:45] So there were still Romans worshiping Roman gods up until Christianity right now

[00:23:51] I get that but what I'm saying is at the beginning

[00:23:55] like from the beginning

[00:23:59] Yahweh wasn't around yet, you know what I mean, right? Yeah, that's what I meant not at the same time

[00:24:04] Okay, okay, like first came like the wrong the Greek gods even before Rome was the Greek gods sure and you know

[00:24:11] the

[00:24:14] Like Zeus and Thor and all them like them people right and

[00:24:19] Then came the Roman gods from the Greeks as Rome took over that area

[00:24:24] Sure, and Yahweh was kind of kicking it, but he was not like super big

[00:24:30] He was not like he was just like one of many. Yeah

[00:24:34] So we've taught it's a very regional God. Yeah, so yeah early on for sure

[00:24:39] Yeah, so all right. Well, we're about to get it against the Edomites. Okay, okay, right?

[00:24:44] This is what the sovereign Lord says is it?

[00:24:48] Mm-hmm. All right because Edom took revenge on Judah and became very guilty by doing so

[00:24:55] Therefore this is what the sovereign Lord says I will stretch out my hand against Edom and kill both man and

[00:25:03] Motherfucking beast. Oh, I will lay at waste and from Timon to Dayton

[00:25:08] They will fall by the sword

[00:25:10] I will take vengeance on Edom by the hand of my people Israel and they will deal with Edom in accordance with my anger and my wrath

[00:25:19] They will know my vengeance declares the sovereign Lord by the hand of his people from Israel

[00:25:26] Whatever that doesn't how they're in exile. They aren't around. I don't know but here let me read you my little sure

[00:25:32] Yeah, yeah

[00:25:33] Edoms harsh punishment is for having betrayed the agreement with Judah to fight against Babylon

[00:25:38] So they had made this agreement, right? Okay, and they were gonna help them

[00:25:41] And then they instead became a Babylonian ally taking Judean lands in the Negev

[00:25:47] Oh, the Jews themselves will be God's instrument and punishing Edom

[00:25:52] And I'm not sure how that supposed to happen. Right now that came about but that would have to be at least 70 years later, right?

[00:25:59] Yeah, however that works that didn't happen by them right away. I know right fact. Yeah, so couldn't have

[00:26:07] Don't know anything about that but that's that's what they're mad about

[00:26:11] Okay, that makes sense and I like that because it's showing that there was a bunch of political

[00:26:16] maneuvering things going on and it

[00:26:19] Tracks with everything we've read, you know, like if you read between the lines you can catch this is politics

[00:26:24] This is not a God. It's fucking politics. It's always politics

[00:26:28] Okay, now we're moving finally against the Philistines. Okay. Yeah, this is what the sovereign Lord says

[00:26:35] Because the Philistines acted in vengeance and took revenge with malice in their hearts and with ancient

[00:26:42] Hostility sought to destroy Judah

[00:26:45] Therefore, this is what the sovereign Lord says. Okay

[00:26:48] I'm about to stretch out my hand against the Philistines and I will wipe out the kerathites and

[00:26:53] Destroy those remaining along the coast

[00:26:56] You know when we talk about the people on the islands. Yeah, yeah, that's these quotes

[00:27:00] Okay, I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath

[00:27:05] Then they will know that I am the Lord when I take vengeance on them the end wait, where was the yeah, we're getting there

[00:27:12] We're getting there. All right. Okay. Yeah, so let me read you about the Philistines a little bit and then we'll get there

[00:27:17] Okay, okay

[00:27:18] So the Philistines were they were ancient enemies of Israel from way back, right?

[00:27:24] Yeah, and they're said to have come originally from the islands of the Aegean sea

[00:27:29] Including tree. That's what I said. No, it's not

[00:27:32] No, it's a gene a gene. Okay. Sorry including Crete and are called the

[00:27:39] Kerathites or charathites and that's interpreted as the Crete Cretans

[00:27:43] Okay, okay

[00:27:44] Yep, and they are being punished because of their vicious treatment against Judah and they too will cease to be a nation

[00:27:50] Got it. Okay. Yeah now let's read verse 17 again. Sure. Okay. Yeah, I will carry out great

[00:27:57] Vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath

[00:28:00] Then they will know that I am the Lord when I take vengeance on them. Oh sounds similar so that's I guess that's it

[00:28:07] Yeah, that's it. Okay, so let me

[00:28:10] before

[00:28:11] Okay, go ahead. Let me read this little bit about that. Okay

[00:28:16] Okay, so in the

[00:28:19] 1994 film pulp fiction, yes, we discussed at the beginning of this episode right character Jules Winfield

[00:28:26] Ritually recites what is stated as Ezekiel 25 17

[00:28:32] Before he executes someone the passage is heard three times throughout the film

[00:28:37] The final two sentences of his speech are similar to the actual sighted passage

[00:28:43] Which is based on the King James version

[00:28:45] I wondered but the first two are fabricated from various biblical phrases

[00:28:52] Yeah, and should we play should we play that clip right here? We can I had also

[00:28:59] Copied the well, I want to clip it in so let's play it right here. Okay

[00:29:04] The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny

[00:29:12] evil man

[00:29:14] Blessed is he who in the name of charity and good will

[00:29:19] Shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness for he is truly his brother's keeper and the finder of lost children

[00:29:28] And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger

[00:29:34] those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and you will know my name is

[00:29:42] when I lay my vengeance upon me

[00:29:49] One of the places that Quentin Tarantino got this

[00:29:54] Inspiration for this speech. Yeah was from a super old

[00:30:00] Martial arts film hmm and there's a dude he loves martial arts. He does kill Bill much right? Yeah

[00:30:07] So there's a guy and I didn't copy this in here

[00:30:12] But I forget there's a character in one of these films, okay, and his name is like Chibi something or other and he says

[00:30:20] Much like what Jules says in Pulp Fiction

[00:30:25] He says the path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities

[00:30:29] Oh, right, and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempted to poison and destroy my brothers

[00:30:37] And you will know my name is Chibi. Whatever

[00:30:41] When I lay my vengeance upon thee Wow, yeah, okay

[00:30:45] So that's where that came from and then he mixed in some Bible quotes

[00:30:50] Yeah through in a and it's a Zikiel verse chapter 25 verse 17 sure

[00:30:58] It's kind of funny because like it's a

[00:31:01] It's almost like a joke, right? It's almost a it's almost a joke

[00:31:06] because like he's literally getting ready to kill people when he says this and

[00:31:11] so

[00:31:12] It's it's poking fun at the ridiculousness of

[00:31:16] God just by saying that phrase. I think that's what I love so much about that phrase

[00:31:21] Mm-hmm that he that he says in that movie. Yeah, it's like

[00:31:24] Yes, this is how ridiculous your God is he is being he's using this to he's using this wording in the Bible

[00:31:32] To then turn around and fucking murder people

[00:31:34] He's talking about vengeance. Yeah, which is one of the least

[00:31:41] Christian attributes and yes, I know we are not at the New Testament yet, right?

[00:31:45] but we are supposed to be learning about this God who is a loving God and

[00:31:52] He is a very jealous God which has said more than once he's a vengeful God. Yeah

[00:31:58] He's just horrible. He's a horrible being yeah, and that is not who I would choose as my

[00:32:07] Local deity no in the funny thing to me also is that in that movie Paul fiction

[00:32:13] Specifically the part where he's there in the room with the three guys and they get they're getting the suitcase, right?

[00:32:18] That he at one point some kid comes around a corner and like unloads a gun at him, right?

[00:32:22] And he misses like he's got six bullets in the chamber misses all six times nobody gets shot, right? Right and

[00:32:31] After murdering three people to recover a suitcase for his boss

[00:32:37] Jules decides that he has found God, right? Why because he didn't get killed, right after he just murdered three people

[00:32:46] Yeah

[00:32:47] That that was God telling him a message and to me that's hilarious hilarious. Yeah fucking hilarious

[00:32:54] Yeah, right. I'm like this is great. I mean, okay. It's great

[00:32:59] It's great. It's great commentary, right? It's great commentary. Yeah, it's a great statement, right?

[00:33:05] And and it basically is like yep. This is what it be right? Yeah

[00:33:11] What I also appreciate is that and I know this has been talked ad nauseam about this film

[00:33:16] Sure, is that it's all for this magical suitcase that none of us ever find this briefcase

[00:33:22] Has a McGuffin. Yeah is what it's called in the writing world, right?

[00:33:26] And we never have to know what's in it and that is both the most important and the most hilarious part

[00:33:34] Sure of that story. Yeah, because it at the same time that it's like making fun of religion

[00:33:40] It's also making fun of the hero's journey. Yeah, you know from a writing stance

[00:33:46] It's like it doesn't even fucking matter, right?

[00:33:49] Like okay

[00:33:50] I'm just gonna go off a little bit here just because I'm like working on outlining stuff and one of the screenplays

[00:33:56] That I'm studying is cause of Lanka

[00:33:58] Yeah, and the McGuffin in that film is these transit papers that like totally did not exist

[00:34:05] And when the writers were putting this movie together

[00:34:09] They were like this is never gonna fly with American audiences because this was like right

[00:34:14] like during the heat up to World War two that this movie came out sure and

[00:34:22] So they were you know trying to capture the feeling and at the time studios were putting out these films like one after

[00:34:28] The other just boom boom boom boom boom trash, right? Right? Whatever sticks to the wall

[00:34:33] So they just expected that Casablanca would not be that great a success particularly with the McGuffin of these

[00:34:41] magical

[00:34:42] transit papers signed by this uppity uppity whoever that

[00:34:46] Can't be questioned right and these actors just sell it like it's not of course

[00:34:52] This is true, right. And so that's like to me that when I learned that

[00:34:58] Background about Casablanca and the writers that is to me what that briefcase is sure and you know just kind of like I don't like

[00:35:08] Quentin Tarantino as a human being. I think he's just a despicable person

[00:35:11] Yeah, but you cannot deny some of his genius genius in filmmaking and

[00:35:17] Tearing apart a story. Yeah, and putting it back together. It's absolutely true

[00:35:22] It's one of those again so separating the artist from the art, right?

[00:35:27] Yeah, all right. Is that all we got for today? That's all we got for today

[00:35:31] I think that was more than enough for a shorter chapter as it was we went all over the fucking page
