Zechariah Chapter 10: Bible Study by Atheists
Manage episode 485219329 series 3256856
In todays theological roast, Husband and Wife of Sacrilegious Discourse unpack the soggy, self-contradictory mess that is Zechariah Chapter 10—and spoiler alert: Yahweh is still mad, still yelling at clouds, and still promising things he won't deliver. We kick things off with some biblical weather forecasting (“ask the Lord for rain in the spring,” which... is just spring), then detour into a divine rant about idols being fake, magic being bad (except God’s brand, of course), and sheep needing shepherds—or possibly just better GPS.
As God pivots to war metaphors, Judah becomes a proud battle horse, there's talk of tent pegs and cornerstones (metaphor salad, anyone?), and Ephraim gets drunk on divine glory. Naturally, the hosts can’t resist mocking the Bible’s geographical nonsense (“Egypt’s scepter will pass away”? Tell that to history), and they hilariously call out the failed prophecies and historical inaccuracies—like the never-dried-up Nile and Assyria’s already-ended empire getting recycled for another round of smiting.
Bonus snark includes a biblical drag of weak measuring angels, Waffle House references, and an existential debate about whether Allah and Yahweh are just rebranded versions of the same celestial narcissist. Oh, and if you were hoping for flying scrolls or basket-bound women—sorry, this chapter’s as dry as God's promises.
