Zechariah Chapter 11: Bible Study by Atheists | Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists

This week, we crack open Zechariah Chapter 11 — where God trades in thunderbolts for theater, casting Himself as a vindictive shepherd with a flair for symbolism and sock-puppet-level subtlety. First, He torches the forests of Lebanon like a pissed-off Smokey the Bear. Then He slaughters metaphorical sheep with the kind of poetic rage only a deity with commitment issues could summon.

Husband and Wife wade through tree metaphors, holy fire, and divine staff-breaking tantrums (yep, God breaks up with His people using props named Favor and Union). There’s a bizarre 30-piece-silver payout, a nod to future Judas drama, and what might be the Bible’s weirdest “performance art” installation yet. The kicker? God ends this one by raising up a worthless shepherd who doesn't heal the sick — he just eats sheep and tears off their hooves. Neat!

With tangents on tree empathy, controlled burns, and Three Stooges violence, this episode dives deep into the chaos — and still ends with a PSA: don’t burn trees (or pot roasts). Zechariah 11: come for the forest arson, stay for the divine eye-stabbing.
