• Genesis 10-15: When God Got Insecure
    Dec 5 2024

    In this episode of An Atheist Reads the Bible, we explore Genesis 10-15, where the Bible takes us from the rapid repopulation of the earth after the flood to the infamous Tower of Babel incident—apparently, humanity’s unity was too much for God to handle. We’ll dig into God’s seemingly insecure response to a tall tower, the bizarre introduction of Abram (later Abraham) as God’s favorite, and some questionable moral moments, like Abram lying about his wife to save himself.

  • Noah's Ark... Revisited

    In this episode, I dive into the story of Noah's Ark and explore the sheer absurdity of cramming two of every animal onto a single boat. Spoiler: it doesn’t hold water.

    In this episode of An Atheist Reads the Bible, we’re diving into Genesis 5-9, where things get a little wild—and a lot weird. We kick off with a genealogy of people who apparently lived for centuries (because that’s totally believable), before moving into the flood story. God decides He’s had enough of humanity and hits the ultimate reset button with Noah, a massive boat, and two of every animal—including mosquitoes, for some reason. From giants roaming the earth to God’s sudden case of regret, these chapters are packed with contradictions, impossible logistics, and plenty of eyebrow-raising moments. Let’s dig in and see if this global flood story holds water—or sinks under scrutiny.

    In this episode of An Atheist Reads the Bible, we dive into Genesis 2-4, where things get complicated—and a little bizarre. We start with a second, somewhat contradictory creation story, where Adam is formed from dust, Eve from his rib, and a forbidden tree is planted within easy reach. As Adam and Eve face exile after the infamous fruit incident, humanity spirals quickly into sibling rivalry and murder, with Cain and Abel setting the stage for jealousy and divine favoritism. We explore the confusing origins of Cain’s mysterious wife, Lamech’s disturbing boasts of revenge, and the growing questions about morality, justice, and population gaps in the early Bible. Tune in as we unpack these ancient stories with a skeptical eye and plenty of questions.

    Welcome to Genesis 1, where God decides to start his biggest DIY project: literally everything. In just six days, we go from pitch black nothingness to land, water, animals, and—surprise—humans. (Because apparently, we’re a key part of the plan.)

    I’ll be breaking down all the odd choices, like why light shows up before the sun, and asking the important questions, like who exactly was God talking to when he said, “Let us make humans in our image?” Buckle up for some cosmic plot holes as we take a look at God's universe experiment.

    As someone who creates content for atheists, ex-Christians, and those deconstructing their faith, I’m often met with the comment from believers “just let people believe, bro,” as if I’m stopping them.

    I know what they mean: “let them believe without criticism.”

    Should we do that, though? Don’t beliefs deserved to be criticized?
