Jeremiah Chapter 6: Bible Study for Atheists

[00:00:00] Hey everyone, husband here.

[00:00:05] And I'm wife.

[00:00:06] If you've been listening to us, then you know we're all about reading the Bible and

[00:00:10] reacting to it on our first read-through.

[00:00:12] Cuss words, crying, laughing, and more.

[00:00:14] We're passionate about creating a podcast that takes the sanctity out of the sacred

[00:00:17] text and simply stating it as we see it.

[00:00:19] But we can't do it without your help.

[00:00:21] We're asking for your support to help us keep this podcast going.

[00:00:24] There are two ways you can donate. 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. Well, what have we learned so far? That God is a dick and apparently some people believe in talking donkeys? We're not trying to pass ourselves off as experts. Nope, we're just reading the Bible for the first time and giving our first take reaction. If you'd like to join us in this venture, you might consider starting in episode 1.

[00:01:42] Otherwise, jump in wherever you like.

[00:01:44] Alright, let's go read the Bible.

[00:01:46] Yeah, let's gonna make this up We haven't done a book club and freakin ever right so we'll probably do like a double duty or something this weekend or

[00:03:02] Some we always have high hopes, but we're gonna try real fucking hard. Yes. Okay. Yes

[00:04:07] Around her. Each tending is on for sure. Okay, stop. Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[00:04:10] Oh, prepare for battle against her. Arise. Let us attack at noon.

[00:04:17] Okay, but just at noon, huh?

[00:04:20] Yeah. But alas, the daylight is me, obey me. Right. No. Can we even fucking hear you? Right. Because you know, if we don't know you, we don't even know what to listen for. But God's like, Hey, this city must be punished. It is filled with oppression says the oppressive God. Right. Okay. Who claims that people Let them glean the remnant of Israel as thoroughly as a vine. Pass your hand over the branches again like one gathering grapes, Oye with the grapes. To whom can I speak and give warning? Who will listen to me? Their ears are closed so they cannot hear. The word of the Lord is offensive to them.

[00:07:03] They find no pleasure in it because it's not pleasant.

[00:08:02] Oh, wait, are you sure I thought that was the Lord speaking? We're going back and forth here.

[00:08:04] Yeah, but like, this is Jeremiah now saying, I'm full of the wrath of the Lord and I cannot

[00:08:09] hold it in.

[00:08:10] Okay.

[00:08:11] Okay.

[00:08:12] All right.

[00:08:13] Because just now he was like, to whom can I speak and give warnings?

[00:08:16] Who will listen to me?

[00:08:17] I'm trying to tell everybody this God stuff is happening, but they're not listening and

[00:08:22] I'm full of the wrath of the Lord.

[00:08:24] Cannot hold it in.

[00:08:25] Oh, I thought that was God speaking the whole time.

[00:08:27] Oh, I'm sorry. Cotton it and the old those weighed down with years Their houses will be turned over to others Together with their fields and their wives while I stretch out my hand against those who live in the land declares the Lord so You're a real dick right like holy shit. That's just mean. Yeah, okay

[00:09:42] He looks like he's talking again now from the least to the greatest. Oh, he's talking. Oh, punish them says the Lord. This is what the Lord says. Some more God talk. Okay. Yeah. Stand at the crosshose crosshose crossroads and look like a crossroads demon from supernatural. Yeah. Yeah. Stand at the crossroads and look ask for the ancient him. I call bullshit. I agree with you 100%. I'm telling you what an apologist might say. Right. But God has said, like we've covered this back and forth with the contradictions, but God has said that he does not talk to except for very specific people. Right. And you cannot see him. And you, you know, like there's so many things that point, if we want to, if we want to

[00:12:23] cherry pick the Bible, yeah will put obstacles here before this

[00:13:43] people, parents and children alike will stumble over them.

[00:14:47] Do not go out to the fields or walk on the roads for the enemy has a sword and there is terror on every side

[00:14:51] Put on sackcloth my people and roll in ashes

[00:14:56] Morn with bitter wailing as for an only son but suddenly the destroyer

[00:16:20] Destroyer will come upon us. Hmm. Okay. I think what else he's saying is that I'm trying to... I'm putting hardship on you to sort out the good from the bad. Right. The strong will survive, the good and hearty will survive.

[00:16:24] And even with that, I is not it. I'm just a dumbo human. I'm sure I could think of a better way. If I'm just a dumbo human, surely a god could. I'm pretty sure if you take a stroll down the self-help section in any bookstore, you'll find a million different better ways. Yeah, he's not trying very hard. No, he's really not. All right, do that, we could really use some help. Oh yeah, with what?
