The Godcast
An audience member asked us about the Shepherd of Hermas last week. That gives us the perfect opportunity to examine and explain how the Early Church was a dumpster fire, just like today's Church is.

The Godcast
For this week's episode, Super and gravy master BCM have a sprawling chat about the Heaven's Gate cult.

The Godcast, Episode 328: Audio Essay on Noah's Curse
The Godcast
So Noah curses Canaan in Genesis 9. Was it actually a curse on Ham, Canaan's father? Does it justify enslaving blacks, or explain their behavior? Historically, does that add up?

CALLING ALL BIBLE NERDS! CALLING ALL BIBLE NERDS! I challenge you to a game. Here are the rules, play along with me: As we go through Wendigoon's Bible Iceberg, when each topic is announced pause the episode; start a 30 second timer and rattle off what you know. If your knowledge is shallow, or you aren't familiar with it, that's one *ding*. At the end of the show, count off how many dings you got - golf rules, the less dings the better.
