Jesus Never Existed by Kenneth Humphries.
judaism is what the jews are, and what the jews can show to be true.
Leaving my faith and my YEC views behind has been difficult. Every step of the way, I've been plagued by doubts. What if I somehow got it wrong? What if I'm going to hell for losing my faith? Aron Ra has a gift for showing the bible for the eronious, contradictory, and at times even vile work of fiction that it is. He has helped me to move past my fears to the point that I can shake my head and laugh at what I used to believe and who I used to be. You're the man, Aron! Thank you for all that you do.
Aron. Remember that strangulation is not only a matter of breathing, but also circulation. If that Snake squeezes just right, you'll be unconscious before you know it.
That "kick the old people out" trope sounds to me like a story people tell about other, exotic people, like prima nocte/droit de seigneur. I've heard it about other ethnic groups too.
Crackers was Soylent Green. Logan's Run was Carousel! (my band name was Francis 7. If you of Aron's vintage (ie, me) you may know that. You should read The Joy of Sex just to hear Tomer freak out. And his commentary would be priceless..
Peter Hitchens was against the war in Afghanistan, the illegal invasion in Iraq so he wasn't all bad. His brother on the other hand was rabidly for it. No one is perfect. I have a plausible explanation as to how Moses finished the Pentateuch despite dying. He was resurrected! (Yeah, I went there).
59:00 Amusing idea. If smoke blocks Yahweh's ability to hear you, does that mean all the burnt offerings are to put humanity on mute? I'm reminded of a myth, I forget the origin off-hand, where the gods wanted to wipe out humanity because they were so noisy that it was keeping the gods up all night.
Pfft! You know where you can shove your suppository hypothesis. 😂
Bill Craig is punching down so much you may pull a muscle in your arm. Despite his multiple degrees people like Mr. Deity have crushed his hypocrisy.
I had a cat who liked to hang around my neck like a stole… purring away. Felt as nice as it sounds.
So… Yahweh has two weaknesses? Smoke and iron chariots?

No, King Henry VIII of England was not the founder of Anglicanism: that was actually the brainchild of his daughter, Queen Elizabeth I. Its development was born of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement of 1559: the queen convened a council to address the religious divisions caused by the reigns of her father, half-brother, and half-sister. It was then that the decision was made to retain the Church of England and turn it into a gatebridge between Catholicism and Protestantism — a compromise religion designed to attract moderates from both factions.
The North wanted to count a slave as a full person for the purpose of taxation, but not representation; the South wanted the opposite. A compromise was reached, therefore, to count a slave as three-fifths of a person: it still was enough to give the slave states a disproportionate representation in Congress. In particular, it gave Virginia 12 electoral votes — which made a critical difference when electing the new president in 1800: Thomas Jefferson, then, literally rode to the White House off the backs of slave labor.
I just looked it up and found out that a "buttload" is an actual unit of measurement (equal to about 126 US liquid gallons) which I guess would make it different from an "assload".

Isaac talking about “not religious music, just classical music…”
My dear Isaac, most classical music, especially before 1750, is religious. Bach, Mozart, everyone who came before them, made their money from the church, and wrote to glorify God. Bach was a devout Lutheran, Haydn and Buckner devout Catholics, Vaughn Williams Anglican. Mendelssohn had converted to Protestantism and written extensively for the church. Even Puccini, whose opera “Tosca” literally is about rape and murder in a church, had family going back five generations playing organ fir the church in Leghorno.

Does nobody follow the theory that the last few chapters of the holiness code (and specifically Leviticus 26) was written by Jeremiah? This is brought up again at the end of II Chronicles, where some verses from the Leviticus curses are quoted word for word with only the tenses switched from future to past, and then saying that this was “fulfilling the word of Adonai in the mouth of Jeremiah, and the prophecy was fulfilled over a full 70 years.”
❤ again this is from a couple weeks ago. I am behind because I stopped watching. Ptown & mighty chicken ad nothing but distraction. There are too many people trying to get their viral moment that will launch their careers. Anyway, Lilandra, has a winner winner chicken dinner. With her Texas accent. And Aron reads spectacularly well as always, hats to you good sir.
