This episode is a little slice of life. Riff had to be a Catholic for a weekend. Join us as Bael gets the dirt on what it was like to be a member of THE MOTHER CHURCH for moment.

There are few things that get Riff as excited as getting to introduce Bael to a new Bible character. This week, meet Rizpah. Don't know the name? That's unsurprising, but also unacceptable. Join the guys as they give som

This bible story is one that most people have heard of, and maybe even think they know. Let's put that to the test. Bael and Riff are here to educate you.

The Society of Saint Pius X likes to kick it old school. So old school the Pope kicked them straight out of the church! We talked about this a couple weeks ago but then life happened. Enjoy

Eid is a Muslim celebration. Some Muslims in Texas wanted to celebrate the holiday by renting out a water park. Apparently, that's not ok with Texas.

By now we're pretty sure that we all understand that portions of the Old Testament function as a legal framework for Hebrew Society. Inside that framework are some fun puzzles that we can work to see the logic behind the

We follow up last episodes sordid implications with a secondary investigation. We've established that Chemosh loves human sacrifice, especially children. Surely, that's not something Yahweh is into. I SAID SURELY THAT'S

We all know that history is written by the winners. So it seems awfully odd that in a book dedicated to telling us how God (Yahweh, Israel's version) is omnipotent, contains a story where he takes a beating that even a B

Despite the absolute desperation of right wingers to convince you Jesus is on their side, it's obvious to anyone reading the text that Jesus was a radical socialist. One of the best examples is this story. Listen and dec

As we continue through the "minor" prophets, we get to the strange case of Haggai. His story, much like the pronunciation of his name is open to debate. Join Bael and Riff as they dig into this often overlooked but in tr

As we continue through the "minor" prophets we get to one with a lot to say, and even more authorship concerns. Micah was both unique and yet cut from the same cloth as his contemporaries. He says mostly the same things

Join Bael & Riff as they revisit a topic from the early days of the show. It's time to examine Jonah again and see if this fish story adds up any better now.
