Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists
Hurricane YHWH (Special Episode)
Hey there! In this episode of Sacrilegious Discourse, Husband and Wife are back with a wild ride through the stormy intersection of faith, disaster, and social responsibility. We're talking hurricanes, divine punishment, and a dash of conspiracy theories – because why not?
Here's the scoop:
1. Evangelical Takes on Disasters: We're diving into the idea that some folks see disasters as God's way of saying, "You've been naughty!" From Hurricane Katrina to the Pulse nightclub tragedy, it's all on the table.
2. Weather Control Conspiracies: Ever heard of government-controlled weather? Yeah, us too. We're laughing our way through the absurdity of these theories.
3. Voltaire's Candide: Time for a little homework! We're assigning Voltaire's "Candide" for a dose of satire on optimism and the gap between faith and action.
4. Suffering and Blame Games: Let's chat about how some folks use disasters to play the blame game and claim moral high ground.
5. Theodicy and Moral Quandaries: We're questioning how a loving deity can vibe with all the evil and suffering in the world. It's a head-scratcher!
So, whether you're here for a deep dive into theology or just some laughs, we've got you covered. Don't miss our live episodes every Wednesday at 10:00 p.m. Eastern on Discord. Hit up the link in our show notes to join the fun CLICK HERE: https://discord.gg/3fmhMYveKZ
