Because people were also people back then, they covered for their children. Didn't snitch on them. I would be stoned or burned because my father was a malignant narcissist 😢

Listened to this live back in the day. Listening again in 2023.

I asked my brother in law if he would sacrifice his son to God. He answered that he hoped he would have faith to do it. Which means he means to obey! I, an atheist, told him, if I saw you sacrificing your son... my nephew, I would stop you.

What Christians call "Love" is nothing that a logical, rational, sensible, and scientifically informed mind would recognize as "love".

I wish I could get a Christian to sit in the room and listen to this all the way through.

When we were under the spell of Christianity. ...we felt that these stories are the thorns that kept annoying us ....to live with the pain of all these nagging questions we had to simply live in denial

I remember in second grade the nuns telling us the story about this guy killing his daughter and I wondered why god didn't send an angel to save her like he did with Abraham and his son Isaac?

Pastor, Preacher and the likes never did told the whole story in the church. But guess what "*they know the whole story and yet they omit the bad parts*" I might as well ask them if they enjoy deceiving the people during the sermons.

Even though I know the bible is allegorical and not a literal book, I still cannot read the old testament because of all the horrific bloody murder of people and animals

+Baby James "History is shrouded in violence! The fact it records things that make us uneasy is a good reason to have confidence in it." Not really... why would anybody honestly interested in morality and good living only celebrate the bloody bits of history and the moments when Israel behaved idiotically (going back to idol worshipping 20 or 30 years after god has rained fire and brimstone on them or sent the last powerrful enemy to punish them for it again and again and again) and not also record the good times and acts of mercy? The bible is a long tedious horror story of failure and god's temper tantrums, history would be far more balanced and spread out over good and evil.

Holy shit! (no pun intended) The bible is one barbaric piece of literature, the more i learn about it the more i dislike it.

Looking back at my life, i have to wonder, how the hell did every pastor i ever knew read and study their bible and completely ignored these things ?!?! They preach the wonderful sermons of love and justice but gods unimaginable genocide and slavery was all but ignored. Don't question God right ? He has a master plan after all! I just laugh my ass off now. But to be honest this entire story sounded so farfetched to me i used to laugh a little in my mind quietly, just quietly enough hoping God couldn't hear me. Most of the time i didn't really care though ... He's like the uncle who never shows up for family gatherings. You just kinda stop caring ...

And a man's foes shall be they of his own household." i remember,back then at my third grade of elementary school,a priest read this passage out loud in a communio,i was too young back then,i cried because i was scared

It is so sad to hear these verses being justified by good people.. Like parents.. It breaks my heart.

Seth. I learned soooo muuuch listening to you, You are THE BEST. Thanks.

This has provided great help to me in my study - thank you. Post-its and highlighters are go.

Way to lay it down Seth. I think this may be one of my fav of your podcast! Thank you!

“He appears to Noah in the form of a burning bush” 48:08 Wait, what? Ooops 😂

Thank you, Seth, for doing this particular show. I can now reference it for those Christians I come across who claim that God is all about love, or that the God of the Old Testament is the the same as the God of the New Testament (to which I routinely point out how Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount, something you'd think they might have noticed before) or ask me "Where do you get morality if not from the Bible?"

This is the best podcast I've heard from you, Seth. You are on FIRE here! (That said, I've only heard a dozen or so, since I spoke to you on AXP last month.)

I have loved all your podcasts so far ! I don't know if you will see this, but a little town , Fredricksburg, Ohio, Church of Christ ( I think) is having an Atheist debate. With no Atheists present. I just thought that was too funny.

Seth: please be skeptics of everything I say tonight. Seth: hello my name is Seth. Me: PROVE IT!!!

Good show! I got into a discussion with a high school teacher about where we get our morals. I said we get them from reason. I went on to talk about the violence god perpetrated on tribes in the OT and he said "No, no..." shook his head and walked away.

Could you please start posting these podcasts in 240p resolution as well? I often like to browse or play game online while I listen, but my bandwidth isn't the best. Thanks for all you do, I never miss a show!

That song at the end was fuckin awesome - I was laughing so hard I was crying! Another awesome podcast - these are some of the best videos on KZread. Keep up the good work Seth - we need more truth speakers like you if we're ever going to break free from the shackles of religion.

Ahhh, TTA and Cracked.com. Two of my favorite things in one podcast

After this podcast I just want to throw my Bible out the window. I knew there were dark bits that helped to turn me off from faith, but damn.

Standing ovation!! Love this show!!!

You know Seth Andrews I was going to pull up an argument by William Lane Craig or another apologist to rebut this. However, after thinking about it I just decided to quote George Clooney when he was confronted by a Bernie Sanders supporter when the actor was hosting a fundraiser for Sen Clinton. When the protester shouted to Clooney that Batman and Robin was a crappy movie Clooney responded " Yeah okay you got me there"

This one episode is my all time favorite thing on You Tube.

one of the best ones yet, KEEP EM' COMING!

You have made some great podcasts in your time, Seth, but without doubt, this is one of the very best ever. I am ACHING to hear any rebuttals / responses from apologists to you fantastic arguments.......

This is probably the best in-depth explanation of the horrors of the Bible that I've yet to come across. Not only does it cover the majority of the issues involved, but it does so in a quick, clear and precise manner. Other explanations tend to tackle one subject at a time and get bogged down in details and lengthy explanations. Even the average christian can sit still long enough to take THIS one in. Definitely gonna use it against them in the future. :-)

This may have been remarked upon before, but I can't help but think of Jonestown.

That business about Lot giving his daughters over to rape to protect his guests - how do christians deal with this kind of crap? Probably through willful ignorance for those who have read their bible. It occurs to me that these christians forgive their god for a hell of alot more than it forgives them. How does having impure thoughts about that cute little redhead at work compare to this? Monstrous, the worse horror stories ever written don't begin to compare with this bible.

Look to Kitty Boo Boo's post at the top for one answer to that question. Quite shocking.

Great show. Really enjoyed it. I defended these passages for almost 2 decades; but in the end, they were instrumental in my deconversion. I was a Pastor and Youth Pastor and have a degree in theology - the Bible was my life. But there really isn't a Christian alive (who isn't a sociopath) that can entirely excuse these verses. Now I'm making videos exposing the weaknesses and lies of creationism. When we make this info accessible, people will be able to see the chains that they revere so much.

Seth..you so need to compile a play list of song paradies and of topics like you played at the end.. that was hilarious. I needed that laugh today..thanks

So god chose to allow evil to occur, rather than prevent it from occurring.

WOW! I love that song toward the end, God Will Fuck You Up! Incidentally, when I was a kid I was raised a Presbyterian. That made me laugh! I'm 62 years old and I have become more and more agnostic. Yeah! The Bloody BUY-BULL!!!

that song made my day, I don't know how may times I have played it. I'm buying Butler's CD, I need this in my life.

I'm so tempted to share this.

This podcast was amazing and incredibly entertaining. Thank you! By the way, John Butler's song did wrap this up beautifully. Unfortunately, my son heard the song and with his selective memory has chosen to repeat it and sing it to everyone he meets.

Yeah, but at least we are collectively trying to grow out of our violent ways through modernism and reason. If God really was one of knowledge and love, he would teach his people how to better themselves to the highest degree, not sanction and regulate their barbarism. We are having to pull ourselves out of the mire, and we are slowly realizing as a whole that the way to reach new levels is not through an unchanging god.

Its so clear to me now! I lost my faith in August of this year (2012) because i kept asking the questions and receiving conflicting and often very contradictory answers. Can you please discuss the "unforgivable sin" as I was once described by a pastor in a Lutheran private school in the 5th grade. I looked it up and it is blaspheming the holy spirit but another website and minister told me that "oh that sin is forgivable as long as you are truly sorry for committing it"

Thank you for that awesome podcast! And the song in the end... well it took me some years back thx for that :) !!!

I'd love to see signs at football games like EX 21:21 or Luke 14:26 (Jebus says hating your family is a prerequisite to follow him). John 3:16 is played out

This is pure gold XD

Great points made here, keep up the good work Seth

I love ya Seth...but I couldn't help it...I laughed my ass off through this whole podcast! I couldn't help it! Lol a god of love my ass! You made my day Seth!

Seth this is your best podcast. The proof is in the book!

I listen to these every Sunday before my parents force me to go to church.

I'd read the Bible probably three times at least, front to back, during my childhood and teen years. When I sat down with it again in 2008 in an attempt to renew my decaying faith, I noticed that I had... overlooked several things. I was reading it without the "god glasses" at that time. I wondered how in the world I had missed all that horror those other times! Funny how that works... The end song is hilarious!

Actually, that's how I found your channel in the first place. I was perplexed by Alan Feduccia's rather curious views on bird evolution (and the shameless abuse of said views by creationists) so I searched KZread and your video came up. I gave it a go and was very impressed by your arguments. I think you may have found your niche on KZread!

The best bible part (new testament) is the book after Revalation, part 28 "jesus in wonderland"!

I'd like to make a villain in a story based on either Moses or Jahve. After all the evil of said biblical characters is greater than that or Emperor Palpatine or Sauron.

Hey heathenwizard. Just wanted to let you know that I've watched pretty much all your videos and they're really helpful. I found the ones you made on the evolution of birds particularly interesting, especially the one challenging Alan Feduccia. You should definitely make some more.

Fair enough. Thanks for the polite discourse. Best wishes through the holiday season.

Every religious person PERIOD needs to listen to this, but especially the moderates, who try to justify the crazy and batshit insane stories in the bible

I love this.

You sir... are making a difference!!! your channel is awesome by the way. In my lifetime religitardism will disapear almost completely thanks to people like you. Keep up the good work!!!

OMG I LOVE IT when you talk like a christian and repeat what you heard, it sounds EXACTLY like my mother. LOL

The song made me laugh out loud.

lol that song.

man seth i dont think ive ever heard you this angry at anything you always seem so calm and collected about what you say and do and quite frankly i found it freakin funny as hell i couldnt stop laughing thank you for the show and all you do

The ending is nothing if not epic :D Thanks for the laughs Seth, I almost cut my fingers off while laughing :D

Which means god is ultimately responsible for evil.

One of my favorite musicals growing up in the church was Children of Eden. I still find the music enjoyable, though the story still reminds me of exactly why I left the faith. It is truly lamentable that religion punishes the intellectual and the curiosity of man.

ps when Seth does his preacher voice I am reminded of the Church of the Subgenius..

Really like your videos. I went through just about the same re catholic school from grade four through grade ten before I realised that not one of their teachings(courses) on religion, was believable. It came to the point that I had to make a change for the better. Atheism was my choice and to this day, my life is a lot better.

That song at the end is one of the greatest things I've ever head!

There were a lot of these stories I had heard as a believer and excused, but there are also a lot I didn't hear that I know I wouldn't have excused either. Its weird the way your mind works once you start with the answer that "God's always right and has his reasons." Looking at it objectively changes EVERTHING.

In the description can you include all the Chapters and verses you used? Thanks

Absolutely awesome! Thanks ver this extremely good podcast.

Prophet of Zod did a Lego anim for "What if Jedi was God" or God was Jedi or something for the Moses story. With Jabba being the pharoh. Had me in stitches. I strongly recommend it.

Your best work ever Seth.

I'll have to digest that. I did find some good information through your tetrapod example. Thanks.
