Episode 0040: Gettin' Jiggy With Jebus and Other Gawds

You might want to skip the first 2 minutes if you're at all bothered by the passing of Leonard "Mr. Spock" Nimoy as I've inserted the audio from the funeral scene.  Personally, I bawl like a baby when I hear it.

Antibiotic beers in ancient times.

For those of you playing the drinking game, there's about 11 drinks in this episode.

This episode starts with me reading Chapter 25 of Doane's Bible Myths and continues on to chapter 28, as they're all rather short.

Episode 38: Upskirt Pics of Jebus (Updated)

I thought for once, I'd get the show notes up before I posted the episode.

In theory, I'll be on an upcoming episode of the Bar Room Atheist.  Bill was doing a test and asked for volunteers to be on the episode, so I, Heretic Woman from the Beyond the Trailer Park podcast, and Callie from The Gaythiest Manifesto, all agreed to be guinea pigs for Bill and Suzy.  If it works out, then he'll use it.  If not, then he won't.

This is Chapter 24 of Doane's book, which talks about the second coming of Christ and the new millenium which is supposed to follow.

Here's the illustration I was talking about.

Joachim of Flora

St. Francis

William H. Prescott

Johann Bengel

Emanuel Swedenborg

Deuteronomy 22:20-21

20 If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, 21 she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death. She has done an outrageous thing in Israel by being promiscuous while still in her father’s house. You must purge the evil from among you.

1 Corinthians 11:4-7

4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head.

7 A man ought not to cover his head,[a] since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man.
