Hosea Chapter 4: Bible Study by Atheists

Hosea Chapter 4: Bible Study by Atheists

Hosea Chapter 4: God's Grocery List of Grievances


Hey there, fellow skeptics and Bible enthusiasts! In this episode of Sacrilegious Discourse, Husband and Wife are back from a short break to dive into Hosea Chapter 4. Get ready as we explore God's lengthy list of Israel's wrongdoings and the wild consequences that follow.


We start off with a quick recap of Hosea Chapter 3, where God tells Hosea to buy back his unfaithful wife, a metaphor for God's relationship with Israel. This sets the stage for the extensive accusations and judgments God is about to drop on Israel in Chapter 4.


Hosea Chapter 4 kicks off with God griping about the lack of faithfulness, love, and acknowledgment in the land. From cursing and lying to murder and adultery, the list of sins is long and brutal. The fallout? The land dries up, and even the animals are caught in the crossfire.


We dive into the confusing dynamics between God and His people, questioning the logic behind punishing followers for the sins of their leaders. The conversation gets spicy as we explore what these divine actions mean for modern society and gender roles.


As always, we bring our irreverent humor and critical eye to these ancient stories, questioning their legitimacy and purpose. Whether you're here for the theological critique or just some laughs, this episode has got you covered.

[00:00:00] Welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse.

[00:00:02] For this is what the Sovereign Lord says!

[00:00:04] Why do you need prophets to tell people who you are and what you want?

[00:00:07] If you can justify everything that the God of the Bible has done,

[00:00:12] then you can justify any of your behavior.

[00:00:14] A lot of this mentality is trickling into

[00:00:17] what is now mainstream right wing Christianity.

[00:00:21] I am capable of empathy greater than this God of the Bible.

[00:00:26] This is a Bible that they tell kids this is the good Lord,

[00:00:31] this is the good book.

[00:00:32] He is fantasizing about murder, mass murder.

[00:01:18] Husband!

[00:01:18] Wife!

[00:01:19] Do you know where we are? Where we've been? What's happening?

[00:01:22] Well, so the last time we were on here, which was a while ago,

[00:01:27] it was.

[00:01:28] We read Hosea chapter 3.

[00:01:30] We did.

[00:01:30] And in that chapter, it was a really short chapter.

[00:01:34] It was.

[00:01:35] And it kind of reiterated some of the things that had already happened.

[00:01:37] Basically, it was God telling Hosea to buy back his whore of a wife or whatever.

[00:01:45] Right.

[00:01:45] And eventually, you know, they'll reconcile and that's kind of a metaphor for whore

[00:01:50] or whatever.

[00:01:51] Yeah, that's the right word.

[00:01:52] What's going to happen to Israel.

[00:01:55] Israel is the whore-wife and God is the forgiving husband that'll buy back

[00:02:00] his land and...

[00:02:01] Which I still think is hilarious.

[00:02:03] Like, Hosea is being used as a real-time metaphor for what's happening to Israel.

[00:02:11] Right.

[00:02:12] Like this person supposedly a real person, hypothetically.

[00:02:14] Right.

[00:02:15] Right.

[00:02:16] And he is directly having to take the actions to represent what is happening

[00:02:20] and what will happen to Israel.

[00:02:22] Right.

[00:02:22] That's just weird.

[00:02:24] It's fucking...

[00:02:24] I know I say weird a lot, but it really is.

[00:02:27] Yeah.

[00:02:27] Like, I don't know that I have a better word for it.

[00:02:30] It's just...

[00:02:30] It's fucking weird.

[00:02:31] It's bizarre.

[00:02:32] Sure.

[00:02:33] Yeah.

[00:02:33] I guess I could use, you know...

[00:02:35] It's odd.

[00:02:35] I need to use the thesaurus, but...

[00:02:37] It's strange.

[00:02:37] Still.

[00:02:38] Yeah.

[00:02:39] It's not normal.

[00:02:41] Yeah.

[00:02:41] Those things.

[00:02:41] Those things, right?

[00:02:43] So speaking of not normal...

[00:02:46] And also speaking of...

[00:02:49] So why has it been so long?

[00:02:51] Yeah.

[00:02:52] Yeah.

[00:02:52] That's what I was getting to.

[00:02:54] Let's just...

[00:02:55] So there...

[00:02:56] Let's preface it with this.

[00:02:57] We did a half-hour episode that is available for anybody to the public on Patreon.

[00:03:04] So if you head over to our Patreon page at patreon.com forward slash sacralitis discourse,

[00:03:09] you can listen to what happened to wife.

[00:03:13] Yes.

[00:03:13] And, oh boy.

[00:03:15] It is a fucking story.

[00:03:17] You might not even believe it.

[00:03:19] It would be like if I won the lottery, but opposite, opposite.

[00:03:23] Yeah.

[00:03:24] Yeah.

[00:03:25] Like exactly opposite.

[00:03:26] Right.

[00:03:27] Stuff we're still dealing with by the way.

[00:03:29] But so that being said, we were going to try to be back on schedule,

[00:03:33] but we don't want to make any like 100% promises.

[00:03:37] Cause wife has some, let's just say drugs that may knock her out some nights.

[00:03:44] Some lingering pain issues.

[00:03:47] But if you want the full story, like I said, it's a half-hour fucking episode that we did on Patreon.

[00:03:52] Yeah.

[00:03:53] For free, for anybody.

[00:03:54] Yeah.

[00:03:54] All you gotta do is hop over there.

[00:03:55] Yeah.

[00:03:56] You don't have to be a paying member so it's available to the public.

[00:04:00] So and speaking of Patreon, we actually have a...

[00:04:04] We have a new member.

[00:04:05] What?

[00:04:05] Yeah.

[00:04:06] Yeah.

[00:04:06] So I want to do a shout out for Clara Y.

[00:04:10] Clara?

[00:04:11] Yeah.

[00:04:11] Or they said that we could try to pronounce it, let's see, is their Dutch nickname, which

[00:04:18] is Klarcha.

[00:04:21] Klarcha?

[00:04:22] Klarchi?

[00:04:22] Klarchi?

[00:04:23] Klarcha?

[00:04:24] Klarcha?

[00:04:24] Hold on.

[00:04:25] Hold on.

[00:04:25] Hold on.

[00:04:26] Right there.

[00:04:26] Phonetically you would say Klarcha.

[00:04:28] Klarcha.

[00:04:29] Okay.

[00:04:29] We're going to go with Klarcha.

[00:04:30] Okay.

[00:04:30] So that's who is our new patron.

[00:04:33] Klarcha!

[00:04:34] And actually we have more coming so like I just wanted to say that.

[00:04:38] We're behind because we've been missing.

[00:04:41] So one of the specifically, just get back into it and say thank you to Klarcha.

[00:04:46] Thank you so much.

[00:04:47] I really appreciate you.

[00:04:49] No, definitely.

[00:04:50] And Clara has been around for a while like in and out of different places so like

[00:04:55] I think we've seen them on some of our social media platforms and things.

[00:04:58] So I know of them.

[00:05:01] Well, where they really ought to be is come hang out with us on our

[00:05:04] Discord when we do our Discord.

[00:05:05] They are over there sometimes.

[00:05:07] On the lives?

[00:05:08] No, they may, I think they may have showed up on one, maybe two.

[00:05:11] Oh.

[00:05:12] Possibly.

[00:05:12] Well, pardon me Klarcha.

[00:05:14] Yeah.

[00:05:14] I apologize.

[00:05:16] But yeah, so thank you so much.

[00:05:19] From the bottom of our hearts.

[00:05:20] Thank you very much.

[00:05:21] Apparently one of the things that got them to be an atheist was that

[00:05:25] their parents read the Bible to them.

[00:05:28] I'm just saying.

[00:05:29] Mistake.

[00:05:30] At least that's the way I'm interpreting what they said to it.

[00:05:34] Which is kind of part of the impetus of what we're doing, right?

[00:05:39] Making us even more.

[00:05:39] If we just read it and comment on it, there it is, right?

[00:05:43] It's there for everybody to see it.

[00:05:44] And if you actually take the time to see it, it's fucking ridiculous.

[00:05:48] Fucking ridiculous.

[00:05:49] It's fucking weird.

[00:05:50] It's weird, yo.

[00:05:51] Yeah.

[00:05:52] Y'all, the Bible's so weird.

[00:05:53] It is.

[00:05:54] All right.

[00:05:55] So we just got done, well not just the last episode we did was

[00:05:59] Hosea chapter three.

[00:06:00] Correct.

[00:06:01] Which means that today we're going to be getting into.

[00:06:04] Ho's head chapter four.

[00:06:06] That's right.

[00:06:07] Let's do this.

[00:06:07] Okie dokie.

[00:06:13] All right.

[00:06:14] So we are hopping here into Ho's head chapter four.

[00:06:18] Hosea chapter four.

[00:06:19] If you insist.

[00:06:21] I mean, just for clarity.

[00:06:23] All right.

[00:06:24] Yeah, if somebody skipped the intro.

[00:06:27] I'm saying that it could happen.

[00:06:29] It could.

[00:06:30] You know?

[00:06:31] Like Patreon fucking bull just get to the shit.

[00:06:34] You know?

[00:06:34] Yeah.

[00:06:34] It might be somebody who does that.

[00:06:36] It's true.

[00:06:37] Who's that?

[00:06:37] But Ho's head is more fun.

[00:06:39] I don't disagree.

[00:06:40] And I'm sorry but this whole book is just one big Ho's head.

[00:06:46] Don't you agree?

[00:06:47] Thus far yes.

[00:06:49] All right.

[00:06:49] I'm not it.

[00:06:50] Like the realism of this is just like and we said this about Daniel too, right?

[00:06:55] This is not for real.

[00:06:57] It's over the top.

[00:06:58] It's so silly.

[00:06:59] This is not a thing that either this guy just really fucking hated his wife and just

[00:07:05] one of the talk shit in the Bible for all time for everybody to hear.

[00:07:08] Yeah.

[00:07:09] Or this is just played up and bullshit.

[00:07:12] Lake if I wanted to.

[00:07:16] Here's the thing.

[00:07:17] Lake I want to not ever talk about my exes ever.

[00:07:21] Like I don't want to write them into a book forever more about how much they suck and

[00:07:25] I hate them.

[00:07:26] Yeah.

[00:07:26] Lake I want to just live without them in my thoughts.

[00:07:31] Sure.

[00:07:31] Like never think of my exes again.

[00:07:34] Isn't that the way you would prefer to live?

[00:07:36] Yeah, definitely.

[00:07:37] Lake let's just not think of them ever.

[00:07:40] Right.

[00:07:40] So yeah they must have been going through it.

[00:07:43] Well, I get the sense that maybe they thought that this would be a better way for

[00:07:48] people to relate to this relationship that they're trying to describe with God.

[00:07:53] Sure.

[00:07:53] We can put it in a personal scenario.

[00:07:55] Boiling down to a one-on-one thing.

[00:07:58] Yeah, it will be easier for people to understand what we're talking about.

[00:08:01] I'm sure that's where this book came from.

[00:08:04] Right.

[00:08:05] I mean they say that.

[00:08:06] So yeah.

[00:08:07] Right.

[00:08:07] I want to be able to describe this relationship to the masses and why

[00:08:12] these things are happening.

[00:08:13] You are sinning so bad that you are basically being as shitty as an adulterous wife.

[00:08:20] Which apparently only men mattered back then, so that's how they wrote this.

[00:08:24] Right.

[00:08:25] And in modern relevance it has zero.

[00:08:28] Exactly.

[00:08:29] Exactly.

[00:08:31] Unless you're like part of that whole Chad universe.

[00:08:33] Sure.

[00:08:34] In my world has zero relevance, okay?

[00:08:36] I think in the majority of the right thinking progressive.

[00:08:41] I said right thinking but I meant correct.

[00:08:44] Correct thinking.

[00:08:45] Not right as in Christian.

[00:08:48] Right.

[00:08:48] Right as in correct.

[00:08:50] Yes.

[00:08:51] And good and progressive and liberal and educated and trying to do.

[00:08:57] That is correct.

[00:08:58] Right even.

[00:08:59] Fuck off.

[00:09:01] All right, here we go.

[00:09:03] Ready?

[00:09:03] I'm ready.

[00:09:04] Hear the word of the Lord, yes Israelites.

[00:09:07] Because the Lord has a charge to bring against you who live in the land.

[00:09:13] Okay.

[00:09:14] This is no faithfulness, no love, no acknowledgement of God in the land.

[00:09:20] There is oh okay so we're starting out this chapter with God laying out the here's how

[00:09:27] y'all done fucked up.

[00:09:28] I'm gonna give you a grocery list of how much I hate you.

[00:09:32] Yeah.

[00:09:33] Which is I mean it's in every book right?

[00:09:36] Right.

[00:09:36] There is like a list in every fucking book of the Bible of how much God hates his people.

[00:09:41] You're a worm, let me tell you the ways why.

[00:09:45] I just it blows me away like why if you spent this much time talking about how much you

[00:09:50] hated a person would you then turn around and say that you love that person?

[00:09:54] And worship them.

[00:09:55] I just I don't get it.

[00:09:56] No I'm talking about God.

[00:09:58] Right.

[00:09:58] If God hates them this much.

[00:10:00] Right.

[00:10:01] Why do you then turn around and say you love them?

[00:10:04] Like it doesn't make any sense right?

[00:10:05] You either hate them or you love them.

[00:10:07] Right.

[00:10:07] But you can't be both right?

[00:10:09] If you love them you're gonna love them.

[00:10:12] You love them regardless of their flaws, regardless of their failings and you protect and take

[00:10:18] care of them.

[00:10:19] Yeah.

[00:10:20] Regardless because you have literally and I mean literally all the power right?

[00:10:26] Yeah.

[00:10:26] You can change their hearts.

[00:10:27] You can kill them all.

[00:10:29] You can do whatever the fuck you want but you choose to hate them.

[00:10:33] Yeah.

[00:10:33] And torture them and spread them out and do all these shitty things that are just horrible

[00:10:38] to them.

[00:10:38] Right.

[00:10:39] And you want to then say you love them.

[00:10:42] Yeah.

[00:10:42] And I don't agree.

[00:10:45] That is not what love is.

[00:10:46] That is not love yeah.

[00:10:48] And I can just hear somebody saying oh you wouldn't understand it's a godly love well see

[00:10:55] but godly love should be better than human love and it's not that's not that's

[00:11:02] just bad math friends.

[00:11:03] But here and the other side of this is that love and respect has evolved in human nature

[00:11:10] right from the times of the Bible.

[00:11:12] Yeah.

[00:11:12] Right but the ideas that are presented in the Bible obviously because we're talking

[00:11:17] about ideas that are thousands of years old those ideas have not evolved with us.

[00:11:23] Right exactly.

[00:11:24] Right so they have been we are still worshiping a god that we are that still because

[00:11:30] we still use the same fucking book is promoting archaic ideas of what love is and what respect

[00:11:36] is and what any of these ideas represent.

[00:11:40] And we're treating it as the gospel.

[00:11:43] Yeah.

[00:11:44] Right and it's not compatible with today's society.

[00:11:49] It's just not compatible.

[00:11:50] It's not compatible with any functioning society where people are equals.

[00:11:56] Right especially with regard to how they talk about and treat women in the Bible or

[00:12:01] people of color.

[00:12:02] And that's particularly why I don't like this book.

[00:12:04] Right.

[00:12:04] Right we're talking we're talking in terms of a whore woman right like that's how we're

[00:12:10] referring to the shittiness of Israel.

[00:12:12] Yeah.

[00:12:13] We're already off on a bad foot.

[00:12:15] Yeah fucking whore.

[00:12:16] Like what?

[00:12:17] Like I can't.

[00:12:19] It went wrong from the first fucking word.

[00:12:22] Yeah.

[00:12:22] Like no this is wrong.

[00:12:24] Yeah let's just not.

[00:12:25] But anyway.

[00:12:26] Right.

[00:12:26] Here we are we're in the Bible.

[00:12:28] Grocery list ready?

[00:12:29] Yeah I'm ready.

[00:12:30] Okay here's how much I hate you here's what you've done.

[00:12:32] Okay.

[00:12:32] There is only cursing lying and murder stealing and adultery they break all bounds and bloodshed

[00:12:40] follows bloodshed.

[00:12:42] Wow.

[00:12:42] Because of this the land dries up and all who live in it waste away.

[00:12:47] I see.

[00:12:48] The beasts of the field the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea are swept

[00:12:53] away.

[00:12:55] That's interesting.

[00:12:56] That's not a thing that we did by lying that's a thing that God maybe did for being pissed.

[00:13:02] Yeah right those are actions that God would because that's not natural those are not natural

[00:13:06] phenomenon if things were happening yeah that was not natural phenomenon.

[00:13:10] Right exactly.

[00:13:11] At least they're being exaggerated at the very least.

[00:13:14] But let no one bring a charge let no one accuse another for your people are like

[00:13:19] those who bring charges against a priest you stumble day and night and the prophets stumble

[00:13:26] with you so I will destroy your mother.

[00:13:30] Wait what's like a true who brings charges against a priest was that are they saying

[00:13:34] that's a bad thing to bring charges because I know he's saying that you would think

[00:13:39] that the priests would be better but here let me just tell you a thing or two he's

[00:13:43] about to go into the priests are even fucking worse okay okay well then that account he's

[00:13:48] right.

[00:13:48] So he's going to destroy your mother.

[00:13:50] Yeah it's funny because like it's got mother dash yeah and then like the next line is a

[00:13:57] new sentence so I like I think was that the rest of the word was fucker like oh yeah

[00:14:03] I will destroy your mother fucker but no it's just mother.

[00:14:07] Well yeah they wouldn't have said mother fucker.

[00:14:09] No I know but that's where my mind.

[00:14:10] No yeah obviously because I am three.

[00:14:13] My people are destroyed from lack of knowledge because you have rejected knowledge I also reject

[00:14:21] you as my priestesses priesties.

[00:14:24] Okay the knowledge would be the word of God that they're supposed to hear but are not

[00:14:29] yeah is that the Torah the law okay okay yeah he's saying y'all have rejected it and so

[00:14:37] I reject you bitches how about that because you have ignored the law of your God I also

[00:14:43] will ignore your children.

[00:14:45] Oh that's fair.

[00:14:46] Which is your followers you know so he's saying priest since you fucked up I'm gonna punish

[00:14:53] the people that follow you.

[00:14:55] And this is where I have a real problem with the way God treats people because he

[00:15:00] treats the followers of the priests who are getting it wrong yeah the same way he

[00:15:05] would treat somebody that's getting it wrong yeah right but the problem is that it's people

[00:15:10] higher up right he doesn't talk to the people directly.

[00:15:14] So when he's saying this he's saying I don't give a fuck whether you got the message or

[00:15:18] not I'm still punishing you and that's bullshit.

[00:15:22] That is bullshit that's not fair.

[00:15:24] And I have been told yeah God's not fair like as though why did you expect that

[00:15:30] he would be and I'm like because you want me to love this dude yeah I don't love people

[00:15:38] that aren't fair and just one when you did get into it enough they're like well that

[00:15:43] was Old Testament they treated people differently back in the Old Testament and I'm like why

[00:15:49] why did God treat people differently back in the old well they needed a different type

[00:15:53] of of harsher love back then but but but but but hold on these people didn't even

[00:15:59] know what God was saying because they weren't being told right so this has nothing to do

[00:16:04] with them needing a harsher love or a harsher whatever they specifically didn't get the

[00:16:12] message right that's what God is saying yeah he's saying they didn't get the message

[00:16:17] or that the message was only being told by like one person who's a or Daniel or or

[00:16:25] Jeremiah or Isaiah whatever doesn't fucking matter right one person was telling the correct

[00:16:30] message well all these other people who are all God's messengers were taking the wrong

[00:16:35] message but you as a person who doesn't get messages from God is supposed to somehow discern

[00:16:41] which one is correct and which one is wrong and and then on top of that I today am supposed

[00:16:48] to say yeah that tracks I'm gonna you know follow follow this God he's not fair but that's

[00:16:55] okay God doesn't have to be fair I just decided I'm gonna love a God that's not fair yeah

[00:17:00] for no reason right then that's what bothers me right convince me you're not convincing

[00:17:06] me don't tell me like you just can't understand and nobody ever said God is there what is

[00:17:13] his selling point and you're not going to convince me that God was equitable at any point in the

[00:17:19] old test they don't say he was right no I get it I get it but here's the thing right we are

[00:17:24] supposed to essentially forgive that God in place of the new Jesus God right this Jesus

[00:17:31] character supposed to make the old God be redeemed I guess sure I guess why should

[00:17:37] you ever have to have a redemption for a God right that is the same God that is a different

[00:17:45] God but the same God but a different God but the same God I what the fuck is this yeah it's

[00:17:50] crazy is what it is it's Jack in the box yeah it's God's all the way down I just but not

[00:17:56] funny and that's that's like I we haven't got to the New Testament yet but like this

[00:18:00] whole thing where Jesus is God and God is Jesus and Jesus and God our spirit and

[00:18:04] whatever I don't get it I know you never fucking make sense to me I have kind of like broach

[00:18:10] the topic of the Trinity before and like I've not looked it up to research it and explain it

[00:18:15] but I tried to tell you like my understanding of it based on just you know what I've heard

[00:18:22] over the years or whatever sure and like every time we broach this topic you're like nope

[00:18:25] I'm out I got nothing it's dumb it is dumb that's in my opinion no I totally agree

[00:18:32] you know what to me it feels like a way to excuse anything away right if you want it to be all one

[00:18:39] God you make they're all one God yeah if you want to be separate God you like well they're

[00:18:44] different they're separate well he walked the earth as a human as Jesus and he's you know in your

[00:18:50] heart as the spirit but he's all knowing and the father of us all as you know Yahweh in the

[00:18:57] sky and it follows I whatever what I've discovered is that apologists basically take whatever version

[00:19:02] works best for any moment and that's how they describe away whatever happened yeah so it works

[00:19:08] so fucking convenient but again I I'm like convince me convince me why I should love this God

[00:19:15] yeah there's nothing like you're not talking me into it he's not fair and nobody ever said

[00:19:22] he was we're getting pretty close to the end of the Old Testament right like we're we're we're

[00:19:26] we're you know up on Jesus right yeah and there has not been a single point where I was like yeah

[00:19:31] God redeemed himself there right yeah so I there's not been a single moment where I felt

[00:19:37] that's a good God no there's not been one time but yeah I hear people all the time say God is

[00:19:43] good oh God is good and I'm like but by your own admission he's not that's because they read the

[00:19:49] the platitudes the the the the niceties from the Old Testament and they read the the New Testament and

[00:19:55] they they they mix these things together to make them sound wonderful and beautiful but really if you

[00:20:01] read it all in context if you read it straight through you're in for a whole other story yeah

[00:20:06] you know yeah that that's what we're doing so yeah and I feel like this should be done by

[00:20:12] everybody that is promoting this God honestly like if you have not read the entire Bible straight

[00:20:19] through then you're not a real Christian to me and I get to judge that because um Christianity is an

[00:20:27] opinion anyway so who fucking cares sure you know what I mean right so like the next time somebody's

[00:20:32] like you're fucking atheists I'll be like well you haven't read it all the way straight through

[00:20:37] so you're not a real Christian even Christians can't decide who's the real Christian so I know

[00:20:41] that's what I'm saying fight amongst yourselves right yeah you know I'll shoot shoot and arrest

[00:20:46] arrest and shoot the survivor you know right whatever okay so anyway you suck I hate you because you

[00:20:53] have rejected knowledge I also reject you as my priest because you have ignored the law of your

[00:20:59] God I also will ignore your children the more priests there were the more they sinned against

[00:21:05] me yeah attracts they exchanged their glorious God for something disgraceful those fucks

[00:21:12] better had to do with money and probably yeah they feed on the sins of my people and relish their

[00:21:18] wickedness yeah probably because that means that they get more um sacrificial meat things well

[00:21:24] yeah if you can throw a couple other things in there and be like hey you know if we just do

[00:21:28] this we're gonna make a little bit extra no dough on the side here yeah yeah and it will be

[00:21:33] like people like priests I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds

[00:21:39] they will eat but not have enough oh that's like that's even king book thinner

[00:21:46] you know what I want you eat you'll never have enough and never I never read that one so I didn't

[00:21:50] read it but um it was like really really popular and um it came out like when I was in elementary

[00:21:59] school got it so I like was Stephen King adjacent at that point like I hadn't quite tread those waters

[00:22:07] yeah I was still Christopher Pike all the way you know which is like Stephen King light for kids

[00:22:12] you know yeah yeah okay so they will eat but not have enough they will engage in prostitution

[00:22:18] but not flourish okay whoever says it's flourish anyways I don't know like I thought that

[00:22:26] like we look down on prostitutes and frown on them because sex work isn't real work and

[00:22:32] anyway women are gross but apparently these were times when people were doing all the wrong things so

[00:22:37] they're gonna do those things but they're gonna not flourish doing it I guess so apparently during

[00:22:41] this time prostitution was maybe like rolling in the dough by fucking I guess I guess I don't know why

[00:22:48] they weren't rolling in the dough though because apparently they didn't prosper you know or they

[00:22:51] didn't flourish they did but now they're not going oh okay okay because he's saying

[00:22:55] he's gonna make them not okay yeah he's gonna stop them from flourishing got it like I mean let

[00:23:02] let a girl fuck if that's the way she found to make money let her fuck right you know whether she

[00:23:07] chose it or not like that may be the only lifestyle available to her then again she just

[00:23:13] may like it I don't I don't know I don't know the ins and outs of prostitution sure

[00:23:17] but I do know I ain't here to shame anybody for it right all right so anyway but they're not

[00:23:22] gonna flourish because they have deserted the lord to give themselves to prostitution yeah I'm sure that

[00:23:30] that back then that was they were very excited to fuck these dirty dirty dudes yeah with the

[00:23:36] dusty balls well and look we've already talked about how women are treated in the bible right

[00:23:41] so a woman that gets divorced can never remarry right right like what are you supposed to do

[00:23:47] die stupid well I mean I'm seriously die you get married early like you get sent to marriage early

[00:23:54] on in your life in these times like you're an old maid if you ain't married off by 13 right yeah so

[00:23:59] like if you get divorced by 14 what the fuck are you supposed to do with your life well die or

[00:24:05] fuck yeah that's basically your options yeah so yeah that's what I'm saying so I have no it's

[00:24:12] that it's how they survived and it's not even their fucking fault right it's your stupid

[00:24:16] fucking laws that you had that degraded women that you're trying to bring back into style and

[00:24:23] degrade women today yeah fuckers old wine and new wine take away their understanding whatever

[00:24:30] okay my people consult a wooden idol and a diviner's rod speaks to them okay you know what I mean

[00:24:38] they're they're like doing that pagan shit yeah sure a spirit of prostitution leads them astray

[00:24:44] they are unfaithful to their god sounds like they're faithful to their god it's just not you

[00:24:52] they sacrifice yeah yeah they are they are very uh they're they're worshiping something

[00:24:58] they're faithful to their god they're not faithful to you sir right like poor choice of words yeah

[00:25:05] they sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills under oak poplar and

[00:25:11] terribent where the shade is pleasant seems like fucking pleasant shade i hate i hate when trees

[00:25:20] give me that pleasant shade that's bad stuff that's a that's a good place to fuck i mean

[00:25:25] apparently if i'm gonna fuck outdoors it's gonna be a good shade yeah not the bad shade

[00:25:31] want that bad shade i like pleasant shade yeah yeah right not the unpleasant right yeah the

[00:25:36] unpleasant shade sucks therefore your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughter's in law

[00:25:44] to adultery everybody's all them honey lipped vixens out there cheating on their husbands

[00:25:50] yeah only the women yeah they suck i hate a i hate a vagina i gotta tell you look if you're gonna

[00:25:57] look okay if you're gonna blame somebody right this is how fox news gets away with it

[00:26:02] if you're gonna blame somebody blame somebody that's not watching your shit right right and the men

[00:26:06] are the only ones that give a fuck about this because they're the only ones having the services

[00:26:09] taught to them and everything right so if you're gonna blame somebody blame the immigrants

[00:26:14] blame the black people blame the people that aren't watching fucking fox news right i'm just

[00:26:18] putting this in context of the modern times so that's why they're blaming the women yeah like the

[00:26:24] women aren't they're not there they're not relevant they don't have yeah they they don't matter in this

[00:26:29] time right so that's why they're being blamed for everything because the men are the only ones

[00:26:34] that are currently in a place to make decisions so like with fox news the straight white male

[00:26:41] cis men yeah christian is the only one that quote unquote matters i would say they speak to the

[00:26:49] women too on on fox news that yeah that granite they are trying to back tread on some of the

[00:26:55] it's right women have it's cute because they're they're trying to do the thing that um if you

[00:27:01] watched the show the handmaid's tail right they're trying to do the thing where serena joy

[00:27:07] like you know she spoke for women to go tread they're co-op team and then she's like oh fuck but

[00:27:16] it applies to me right like yes sweetheart you have a vagina my darling do you not bleed out your

[00:27:24] pussy right you nasty they don't like that yeah but they do want to fuck it right they want to

[00:27:31] fuck it so much so you better lay down because that's what's gonna happen right in this trad world

[00:27:39] don't be a serena joy right don't sell out no because you think that you climbed up the ladder

[00:27:46] and you pulled it up behind you but what you didn't know that they gave you that ladder and they

[00:27:51] can take it away yeah definitely stupid ass women trad women just they're so dumb they're so

[00:27:58] you're gonna have to describe you're gonna have to define trad women to me because i don't know

[00:28:02] i've heard the term but i don't know that is short for traditional and so it's just a way of

[00:28:09] it's this new wave across the ticktocks and the facebook uh shorts and the youtube

[00:28:14] shorts i don't know all the what the shorts or i call them all shorts sure okay so all the

[00:28:19] tiktok evine things okay yeah um these trad wives are pushing for traditional marriage between a man

[00:28:29] and a woman and the woman serves her husband got it you know she brings him his beer and

[00:28:35] he's in charge and oh daddy so it's a whole culture it is a whole thing and it's being

[00:28:42] pushed forth onto the rest of us and um kind of it's kind of christian and the christians have

[00:28:51] co-opted it it was there but it was like underground ish kind of like proud boy stuff yeah used to be

[00:28:58] like you heard about it on the french sure or like um people that talked about jews having

[00:29:05] space lasers from space used to be like friend shit you'd hear about it but you'd be like

[00:29:10] those freaks are weird yeah that think like that but the alpha male stuff is becoming more and

[00:29:16] more prominent and more more relevant in society through social media channels like tiktok like

[00:29:22] um whatever the youtube shorts and all that yeah oh i think facebook is what reels or something

[00:29:28] like that that's instagram oh i don't know i don't fucking know what those shits i don't know what

[00:29:33] they call them on facebook exactly but i don't know they're on there too they're all shorts

[00:29:37] i don't care they're all shorts across the board yeah um yeah the whole trad wife thing is becoming

[00:29:43] like mainstreamed and it's gross it's fucking gross oh i agree and it's stupid because

[00:29:52] they think that they think that um them having a facebook channel a facebook a youtube channel

[00:30:00] is somehow not gonna eventually get taken away from them i think the sad part is that they're

[00:30:06] being validated by men probably almost exclusively maybe some women but like the majority of their

[00:30:13] audience has to be men right and these men are agreeing with their values but what they're

[00:30:19] doing is they're agreeing with they want women to be subservient right that's all they're agreeing

[00:30:25] with they're not agreeing with the fact that you're a better person in fact they don't like women

[00:30:29] they're just saying yeah y'all should fucking bow to me and you know make me dinner bitch

[00:30:33] it's just the new face of incels right that's all it's ever been and it's been incels since the

[00:30:40] beginning of time whatever name that they used to be called and incels of course stands for

[00:30:47] involuntarily celibate because you know women are depriving these poor sweethearts

[00:30:54] their pussy holes right if if we would only let them fuck us they would they would you know be nice

[00:31:03] and then why are all the chads who are not incels why are all the chads getting all these bitches

[00:31:10] right and it's like because you call them bitches and because all you think about is sex and

[00:31:15] because you're not a cool person and you're gross yeah yeah no no one wants to be around you man

[00:31:22] yeah so that's that's the problem except other and incels right and so this whole thing has

[00:31:28] kind of become like like all the weird fringe groups it's like they were all floating around

[00:31:35] in this pool right and then there was like um somebody pulled the plug right and so now

[00:31:40] they're all swirling around together but as they as they swirl around together in this whirlpool

[00:31:45] yeah they all like become closer right yeah like they used to be fringes on the outside like

[00:31:52] on the outside of the bathtub you know what i mean right but you pulled the plug and now

[00:31:56] the whirlpool is bringing them all closer together and now they're like all one big giant

[00:32:00] gross group of dudes that can't get laid and women that want something that i don't quite understand

[00:32:10] they're getting validation they're getting they're getting the validation that like a lot of people

[00:32:16] just seek validation online right and that's what's happening right there they don't i would

[00:32:22] wager that there's a lot of the you call them trad wives or whatever that don't necessarily fully

[00:32:28] believe everything they're saying but they're saying it because they understand that they're part

[00:32:32] of a culture that sort of believe some of these things and when they say them they get validated

[00:32:37] right and the more they say it the more they get validated and the more they get validated

[00:32:42] the more confident they are in these like it's a self-fulfilling prophecy yeah right yeah these

[00:32:48] incels are feeling more they like to call themselves alpha males whatever they're all just

[00:32:54] bunch of shitheads they're all in cells yeah right they are they are feeding these people the

[00:33:00] validation that they're seeking and therefore it's just like this vicious cycle of building upon

[00:33:05] itself because unfortunately probably some of these women are influencing some ideas in

[00:33:11] younger women and different you know ideas through society at this point because of how much traction

[00:33:16] some of this is getting and that's the sad part it is and i don't know how to like part of what we do

[00:33:23] is trying to call out the bullshit in the bible which is adjacent to some of these ideas right

[00:33:28] exactly and that's kind of how we feel about what we're doing is that well these ideas are stemming

[00:33:33] kind of from a religious standpoint yeah so let's talk about religion let's talk about religion

[00:33:39] and let's face and own face up to and own these things that are happening in our society

[00:33:44] right so yeah sorry i know we're way off time but are we though because this is literally down

[00:33:51] downing negging women for the choices that they made to survive right and is that any different

[00:34:00] from what's happening today no so are we really off topic no and i think that's one of the most

[00:34:08] interesting things to me that we've come across while reading the bible is how relevant

[00:34:12] a lot of these ideas are in society today because it's because in large part some of these ideas in

[00:34:19] the Old Testament are coming back to the surface right right we used to live i feel i feel like we

[00:34:25] used to live in this world where jesus was nicer where god was nicer yeah and maybe it was just

[00:34:31] we had less internet and less like clicks and less i don't know what it was i don't know what made

[00:34:36] it feel different right i didn't grow up religious no i don't really understand what i what i'm getting

[00:34:41] at with regards to that understanding of buddy jesus yeah sure like there's a reason that that was

[00:34:47] a meme and it wasn't like a make fun of it meme it was a yeah just be cool to each other man

[00:34:52] right like that was my understanding of jesus stemming maybe from like the you know 70s 60s

[00:34:58] you know hippie movement and on through like there was there was a there was an idea springing

[00:35:03] forth in society that allowed jesus to be kinder gentler you know whatever yeah right but we have

[00:35:10] regressed and we've gone back since the 80s to where jesus is less prominent and the ot god is

[00:35:18] becoming more prominent mm-hmm and that's problematic when you're problematic all for all kinds of

[00:35:24] you hear christians literally say jesus is too woke which i have heard yeah that's

[00:35:31] fucking weird to go back to that again that's bizarre like hardcore bible thumping christians

[00:35:39] saying jesus is too woke okay very weird yeah all right so anyway yeah god hates you and your

[00:35:47] daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters in law to adultery you know because their honey

[00:35:51] sure lipped vixens i will not punish your daughters when they turn to prostitution

[00:35:57] nor your daughters in law when they commit adultery because the men themselves consort with

[00:36:02] harlots and sacrifice with shrine prostitutes wait is he actually calling out men yeah wow that's

[00:36:09] amazing i'm actually kind of shocked there i did not see that coming i didn't either because

[00:36:13] i spent a whole i did a whole rant about how he's not going to say anything about the men

[00:36:17] but here it is he's like men i eat my words a bit right just a bit like because we're still using

[00:36:22] women as the you know as the example here so beat them over the head right yeah because

[00:36:27] you know he's like well i'm not mad at the fucking harlots right but there's still harlots

[00:36:33] they're still fucking harlots i mean literally you know because the men themselves consort with

[00:36:39] harlots and sacrifice with strong shrine prostitutes so he's like they're still just nasty whores

[00:36:46] right but i'm not mad at him or anything sure i get it you know these men out here fucking

[00:36:51] you know all these gross women i mean i'm not mad at the disgusting gross women

[00:36:58] yeah like right we get it yeah okay sorry a people without understanding will come to ruin

[00:37:05] yeah they will i i agree with you sure kind of where we're headed right now right especially if

[00:37:11] you know trump wins yeah yeah though you israel commit adultery do not let juda become guilty

[00:37:20] remember before he was like northern southern yeah okay remember earlier on this is an older

[00:37:25] book so and he was telling the one you came you made the bad choices first yeah so i'm less mad at

[00:37:33] you than i am with the other one who saw how pissed i was at you right and then went ahead

[00:37:40] and did that shit anyways it was easy to forget because we're kind of later in the bible right

[00:37:44] but yeah this was an older book that's still based on that northern tribe southern tribe juda basically

[00:37:49] yeah yeah that that was not we haven't talked about it for a while right he's like um israel

[00:37:57] is such a fuckface and they just done did everything bad and wrong juda don't go down that

[00:38:03] path right you know better you've got an example yeah and then they did anyway and he's

[00:38:08] like womp womp fuck all of you do not go to gilgul do not go up to beth even beth avan beth avenue

[00:38:17] i don't know sure whatever and do not swear as surely as the lord lives the israelites are stubborn

[00:38:23] oh wait no that was the end of that quote do not swear as surely as the lord lives

[00:38:28] oh okay don't swear don't swear don't swear that got it that's my new swear by the way

[00:38:34] surely as the lord lives right oh my leg hurts as surely as the lord lives

[00:38:41] the israelites are stubborn like a stubborn heifer you know how heifers be stubborn well and i think

[00:38:47] yeah right they're pretty hard to move you know i'm just saying but that's an interesting phrasing

[00:38:53] because the heifer was actually the symbol of yaweh in northern israel that's true so it's

[00:38:59] interesting way to phrase that yeah we that's going way back to way back yeah but not that far back

[00:39:06] not that far back right like around the kings and chronicles no i was just saying like as far as

[00:39:12] when we read it versus where we are now that was a that was a while back we read history was

[00:39:16] what we learned about that yeah um israelites are stubborn like a stubborn heifer like you know

[00:39:21] the fucking golden calf that y'all keep trying to bring back i'm bringing heifers back no no no no

[00:39:30] it's it's a yeah no i know i i know what it is just in timberlake yeah i got it i got it i'm bringing

[00:39:34] heifers back i don't i don't think that's gonna i know that's not gonna take off i thought it was

[00:39:38] great i don't think you have a top 40 hit there god damn it yeah how then can the lord
