Seth Andrew’s is my hero. I wish I could hang out with this guy, it would be the coolest thing ever. Thanks so much Seth, keep up the good work!!!!! 👍👍
Great job Seth. I can't belive it took most of us years to realize how ridiculous these Bible stories are. It would be amazing if these stories could be brought to live by creating short movie clips.
If I were rich I’d put 30 second ads all across the country telling these stories. Or quoting all the insane verses in the Bible on billboards. Christians would be outraged at people exposing what is in the Bibles they say they mold their lives around.
That was a wonderful show Seth! I have already shared a small portion of what I learned today on my Facebook page. I plan to share more information that I learned from your show in the coming days on my Facebook page because I don't think that believers actually know what is in their Bible. You have said this yourself on many occasions. Thank you so much for all you do!
@@Bob-of-Zoid most people on Facebook simply ignore my posts like this, but at least I know that I have done my part to try to educate people. I think it is like what Aron Ra says in that people want to believe what they want to believe whether it is true or not.
Wouldn't the Sabboth stick-collecting start an infinite feedback loop where those who stone the dude to death then have to be put to death by more people picking up stones, etc, etc. Sort of like a Biblical nuclear fission that gets way out of control.
What makes this even worse it that Moses didn’t know if this was true or not. Maybe the guys that accused the man just wanted him killed and made up the accusation. This shows how bad the judging system that this god established was.
I listened to Seth’s Sunday School lesson when he first posted the first lesson and almost pissed myself! It was hysterical!!! So far I’ve had a bitch of a day so I’m looking forward to hearing this lesson…I know this will make my day, 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Same. I heard all the cute manger stories and stories about tithing over and over, though. "STORIES" became the key word when the church started using "stories" instead of testimonies. They called testimonies "stories," and one day, it hit me - just like tbat- as all bullshit. "WHAT if you looked at Yaweh's,ASS?" 😂😂
What's even more horrifying is that the Bible/Gospels are really about mocking the cannibalsim of a crushed Jewish rebellion by the Roman Empire where a woman named Mary is starving, while under seige in Jerusalem during the Roman-Jewish war of 66AD -73AD, is mocked for eating her son.
The OT especially always bothered me yet I kept it to myself & even wouldn't read or listen to the OT. With what has happened in my church since 2016 I had to leave. A bunch of whining bigots! The 2016 election revealed who the ppl of the church really are and I want no part. It's only been recently I've made a effort to face my questions and admit I have always doubted..I'm just at the start of all this (facing the real truth that God is Not Real) and it's stripping away all I thought life was. I was raised Southern Baptist, later in a Christian group in college with almost caused me to commit suicide. Later some experience in the IBLP. It's overwhelming right now.
I hope you’re ok and didn’t lose too much blood from ripped apart stitches! But at least you’re not one of the 200 men who had their foreskins sliced off to make a dowry.
Questions weren't allowed either. Sunday school set my path to be free from religion. By the time I was forced into my confirmation the thought of crackers n wine made me 🤢
Re sight of gods bum. I t has been surmised that the design of the pelvic region in humans was subcontracted to a celestial civil engineer. Only such a professional would have located the Pleasure Grounds so close t o and integrated with the waste disposal systems.
I'm so glad to find some recent episodes of The Thinking Atheist. I love Seth's new [old] bible stories! "Nocturnal emissions" and excrement, I learn more important stuff every day. Thank you Seth!!
Seth ole boy, I could listen to you forever! You really have the gift of the gabb. Your voice is smooth and clear, you have great presence over the airwaves and tell stories with skill. Furthermore, from what I've seen and heard your a brilliant geezer. Love from Oxfordshire England.
@LuthAMF You might be correct. I wouldn't know, I've never met the geezer I just think he sounds a cool cat .I dont fuck about with bible verses either, it's a waste of time. Cant you just say what you mean without me having to look shit up in the bible? Thanks for contributing though.
@LuthAMF The only source you mentioned is the bible! Is seth Andrews in the fucking bible? What exactly is your problem? I think your just being a dickwad.
@@raylaye2884 yeah, don't waste your time with LuthAMF. He is a fanatic who trolls Seth Andrew's comment sections because Seth walked away from christianity and he hates apostates. Seth really is one of the good guys out there. I guarantee he has helped more people and contributed more to the world than that asshole.
@@cullenarthur8879 Yeah, I've listened to a lot of seth's stuff and I really like him. He seems a very decent guy. Thanks for your response and to Darth jesus too, thanks mate.
"Virgins over here, non-virgins over there"... Sunday service or Rocky Horror Theater? And now we know where the term "Holy Crap" came from... Foreskins, also known as "God's Bubble Gum"...Okay I admit I'm speculating
Damn, those sound effects added to that Bible passage made it actually bearable and even fun to listen to. Seth should do an entire "Bible study" series like that, where he reads the Bible adding what he thinks would be good sound effects for each part.
My grandfather was Jewish and l was told he was a loving man, l told my mom he was a lovely man ,cause he was a lovely man, not because he was Jewish, l was feeling bold.
I loved your rendition of these stories but have a slight correction. The nephelim weren't fallen angels (called the "Watchers"), they were the offspring of those Watchers and human women. This was an attempt to explain the demigod hero and titan stories in nearby cultures.
At the risk of dating myself, I'm a little older than Seth, I grew up listening to Tennessee Ernie Ford singing Dry Bones on my grandparents record console. I was lucky enough to not grow up around religion so I just thought it was a fun song. Later figuring out it was a popular spiritual that often pops up around Halloween and has to do with Ezekiel story of the fallen army. Cant find Ernie, but here's a version to bring back memories, ua-cam.com/video/hYeQUXXYvK0/v-deo.html
*The Grand Passage Tomb.* The Newgrange monument is located in Ireland and was constructed over fifty-two-hundred years ago, it defines the winter solstice and celebrates a rebirth of the Sun. "Let the Sunshine In." E pluribus Unum. Bringing in a "Grand" holiday season.
I am looking for old shows back when Seth was still a christian. I work for christians, long story short, I am forced to do prayers. I think it would be hilarious and it would help me keep my sanity if I was saying one of Seth's prayers.
There my be a grain of truth in the story of the tent: All the other tribes had great statues for their gods to inhabit, but the Isrealites were to poor to afford one - and it would have been too heavy anyhow - so they went with the tent. Am I overthinking this?
It would be funny to buy a spot in your local paper announcing an upcoming wedding and including a dowry of 200 fresh foreskins. Would the paper print such an insane announcement?
Started watching your most recent Podcast [11-09-21] and WHAM . . . it vanished. That was a shocking worry since the topic hit so close to home. It seems so relevant to what a lot of thinking people are experiencing and need some platform. I know I do. Each day it's: What the Hell is going on ? ; What the Hell is going on ?; What the Hell is going on ? I, and thousands of others need your clarity and thoughts to continue.
Soit is a reanimate dead spell??? 😆 One of my favorite parts to point out about the Jesus story is his going to the temple and cleansing it. Where he mak s the crude whip and begins to beat people with it..It is specific on who he hits and drives out. Primarily the one I laser focus onto is that of the tax collector's. By Roman law a tax collector is a Roman Official. Under Roman law it is clearly stated that striking any Roman Official is guilty by penalty of death...more specific penalty of death by crucifixion. The story is specific..after he beat these people and assaulted them he fled.. he fled when the Roman guard came to arrest him. He fled and escaped.. he ran away.. This jesus character was a criminal and it was after this incident that you will find other examples of the Roman guards attempting to find him and arrest him. It is after this incident that it is made mention several times to arrest him but he again keeps fleeing or running away. This jesus character was a criminal..the story plainly tells that he is. He was wanted as a criminal. The story is only told from one side of the story..as most are. They of course skip over the part that it was illegal for him to strike a Roman Official.. and the penalty for it is not mentioned either.. I wonder why it is soo one sided? I do believe that if this jesus character was in at any means a real live person to any degree.. historical or not... It would be this reason why they sought to arrest him and try him and kill him under Roman law. He was a criminal..a common criminal..like so many others.
Too bad none of us read this early on before we spent years believing, feeling guilt, and wasting time which could have been spent positively and productively. Also thanks for pointing out how rude JC was when he spoke to his mother.
To know the face of God, is to know madness. Lets reveal who is the final five from the twelve! Lets hope Brother Cavil won't shut down your entire line! :D
Loved the video... hope you do more like this. Btw on the story about the giants marrying human women, you missed the opportunity to make a tiny penis joke.
Seth you ought to do a Bible story on 2nd kings chapter 3 the Moabite king sacrifices his own son to his god kemosh and over turns Yahweh’s prophecy of the Israelites taking over, Instead the Israelites retreat in fear of the wrath of kemosh
Well Seth, I think we both know that most writers can come up with a smarter character than Yahweh! Too many cooks spoil the soup, and the ones who concocted Yahweh started with a simple roasted meat, and over time with each cook adding several ingredients without ever tasting the results, he evolved into a dreadful mess of indistinguishable nasty tasting muck, no one in their right mind would even consider tasting, let alone even go near! The smell from far away is already enough of a deterrent!
'They weren't keeping the virgin girls to have sex with them they were rescuing them' reminds me of a line I heard about a hypothetical person who murders both their parents and then tries to garner sympathy from the court for being an orphan.
Clearly, stoning someone to death on the sabbath for picking up twigs, wasn’t regarded as work. More like fun. A bit of relaxation and no effort at all.
I have thought exactly the same thing. Both feel commanded by god to create a nation by using violence against those they consider are going against gods will. The thing is, both have the same amount of evidence for having divine authority for their atrocities, none. So many people either praise or at least understand the stories of ancient Israelites atrocities while condemning ISIS merely because of the religion and the difference of time.
Raised Catholic, could have become Mormon during early high school Remembered a couple of doozies in Sunday school. - bishop or senior fellow remarked dead panned in teaching session "That without members Religion dies" Few moments where they cut the fantasy BS and stated an in your face truth to the class. I guess he may have been preparing us for missionary work later on. - An elder (early 20s) came up with an adhoc explanation, which I'm very sure it was just his own, why women were not Bishops (in Mormonism at the time) because "admittedly??" - "women were pure and it was not essential for them to be in such roles, where as for males since they were more sinful had to take these positions of authority" Like it's some form of atonement or leading them in a necessary "correcting path" or something.
Well Seth you know what that would be in our modern times? ASMR PREACHING DUHHH YOURE WELCOME EVERYONE problem solved you wouldn’t have to feel bad for falling asleep 🤷🏼♀️
Seth, I would like to point out what many people don't think about. When you say, "The Bible says X... then it says Y..." we should be mindful that the first passage is probably not written by the same person the second was, either due to the time difference or personal philosophy of the scribes. Not to mention their individual mental oddities. So it's not the least surprising that the entire collection has major, frequent inconsistencies. Authors didn't expect their works to be compared with others; indeed, many authors intended their versions to replace earlier ones. The concept of a monolithic work was not uppermost in their minds. You can see this quite clearly in the New Testament gospels -- later works tended to elaborate, enhance, and even "correct" earlier ones. It's not God disagreeing with Himself; it's multiple scribes' differing points of view.
On the topic of forskin collection, how exactly did that work? Did he kill and/or capture 100 people, and remove them all himself; got done and was having so much fun that he decided to go for seconds, or did he make them remove each other's forskins under threat of deat because after all team work makes the dream work...
@@Kobi_89 I remember going to the theater to see it when i was like twelve years old with my friend, and i have loved it ever since. I wasn't even aware that it was the third in a series of movies and only later saw Evil Dead 1 and 2. Evil Dead 2 is probably my favorite.
@@Kobi_89 yeah, if you haven't already, check out Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. Army of Darkness is kind of silly, but Evil Dead one and two are flat out horror flicks. They take place at a cabin in the woods where Ash and his friends find the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, and the evil spirits possess them one by one. It sends him back in time to where Army of Darkness take place.
Missing Sunday school can be disastrous: what all Eastern Orthodox presbyteras, priest’s wife, would say. Alas, the general-culture stereotyping of Christianity (evangelical youth, *do* miss Sunday school: yEc and AGW rejection). "The fear of Hell," from pulpits: a. Today's biblical exegesis. In the mainline Protestant Churches-the slim majority within North America, old-Earth creationism, btw-there is not a fiery Hell. 1. So too, non-believers are not sent to "an eternal punishment in a lake of fire." 2. Pascal's wager is "so 1600s," an outdated idiom. The depiction of the Forbidden Fruit as an apple and the characterization of a Hell, are from Medieval Europe; the more correct biblical exegesis, is hell as 'the grave.' 3. Until the sixth century that was a fringe doctrine; most of the churches and catechetical schools did not believe in eternal conscious torment of the damned. 4. _The Far Side_ cartoons on it are only a little younger than the modern evangelical Christian description of Hell. b. The (Genesis) Talking Serpent or a Devil personified is an allegory, to "The evil that is in the world;" institutional disorder, dysfunction.[Gerhard von Rad] Rather than the personification of the Devil. There is the existence of demons. -- Giving it the old college try, 1920s collegiate football idiom; outside of faith-evidence for God, a divine Christ Jesus.

Seth is (no doubt) the most glorious Sunday School teacher I have ever heard.
So much glory
@Eastern fence Lizard A glory hole.
Watch Susie Dent talk on that subject on 8 out of 10 cats. It’s hilarious.

With every episode, my JWism gets buried a foot deeper. So far down now that I don’t think it could ever be exhumed. Thanks for the freedom, Seth!
I loved the first "Seth Andrews Teaches Sunday School," and I loved this one also.
Oh man. That first one you're talking about is atheist GOLD!!
Seth, finally! Someone mentioned one of my favorites! God has to avoid poop!👍🥰💝🤎✌
Every time Seth says, "I have questions!!!" I can't help but crack up! Laughing so hard I am crying, Thanks again!

To paraphrase Theramin Trees, "Thrones are made for arses."

It really is. Ancient people were incredibly creative and dumb all at the same time.
So much of what God doesn't like is because he thinks it's "icky"
It's become a running theme
OMG!!! The Blessed Butt Cheeks.....new Christian rock group. Seth, you are the best!!🤣
Omg!! "Blessed Buttcheeks" had me weak. 😆 🤣 😂
Great job Seth. I can't belive it took most of us years to realize how ridiculous these Bible stories are. It would be amazing if these stories could be brought to live by creating short movie clips.
If I were rich I’d put 30 second ads all across the country telling these stories. Or quoting all the insane verses in the Bible on billboards. Christians would be outraged at people exposing what is in the Bibles they say they mold their lives around.
Oh my gawd! I’m always complemented with…you’re a puppy, awe…thank you. 🙄 Love Seth’s version of the Bible, too bad I didn’t hear this 50 years ago.

Well Seth, I think we both know that most writers can come up with a smarter character than Yahweh! Too many cooks spoil the soup, and the ones who concocted Yahweh started with a simple roasted meat, and over time with each cook adding several ingredients without ever tasting the results, he evolved into a dreadful mess of indistinguishable nasty tasting muck, no one in their right mind would even consider tasting, let alone even go near! The smell from far away is already enough of a deterrent!
God reanimated those skeletons because 'Those who steal the Golden Fleece must die!' Oh, wait... wrong fairytale.
'They weren't keeping the virgin girls to have sex with them they were rescuing them' reminds me of a line I heard about a hypothetical person who murders both their parents and then tries to garner sympathy from the court for being an orphan.
Hm, foreskins, the OT's "Bit"coin. Cryptic, not acknowleged by most states and trades, limited in supply and you have to mine them..
this reminds me of Aron Ra's comparison of a sack of foreskins to a bag of pork rinds.
Clearly, stoning someone to death on the sabbath for picking up twigs, wasn’t regarded as work. More like fun. A bit of relaxation and no effort at all.
The Israelites under Moses sound a lot like Isis and Boko Haram.
I have thought exactly the same thing. Both feel commanded by god to create a nation by using violence against those they consider are going against gods will. The thing is, both have the same amount of evidence for having divine authority for their atrocities, none. So many people either praise or at least understand the stories of ancient Israelites atrocities while condemning ISIS merely because of the religion and the difference of time.
Sooooo...Jesus didn't honor his mother. Doesn't this mean he was not, in fact, sinless?
Raised Catholic, could have become Mormon during early high school
Remembered a couple of doozies in Sunday school.
- bishop or senior fellow remarked dead panned in teaching session "That without members Religion dies"
Few moments where they cut the fantasy BS and stated an in your face truth to the class.
I guess he may have been preparing us for missionary work later on.
- An elder (early 20s) came up with an adhoc explanation, which I'm very sure it was just his own, why women were not Bishops (in Mormonism at the time) because "admittedly??" - "women were pure and it was not essential for them to be in such roles, where as for males since they were more sinful had to take these positions of authority"
Like it's some form of atonement or leading them in a necessary "correcting path" or something.

Seth, you should really take a Bible as myth course.
He should teach it along with Aron Ra!
@@blackice9088 OR Andrew Seidel or Dan Barker. Or Bart Ehrman. So many good options!
500-year-old man, by himself building a boat. He doesn’t know what a boat is and he only has 40 days. Bring on the rock monsters.
Well Seth you know what that would be in our modern times? ASMR PREACHING DUHHH YOURE WELCOME EVERYONE problem solved you wouldn’t have to feel bad for falling asleep 🤷🏼♀️
The Nephilim were great! Dawnrazor is still a great album!
Also, this particular lifelong blind person would rather someone didn't try to heal me. LOL.
Seth, I would like to point out what many people don't think about. When you say, "The Bible says X... then it says Y..." we should be mindful that the first passage is probably not written by the same person the second was, either due to the time difference or personal philosophy of the scribes. Not to mention their individual mental oddities. So it's not the least surprising that the entire collection has major, frequent inconsistencies. Authors didn't expect their works to be compared with others; indeed, many authors intended their versions to replace earlier ones. The concept of a monolithic work was not uppermost in their minds. You can see this quite clearly in the New Testament gospels -- later works tended to elaborate, enhance, and even "correct" earlier ones. It's not God disagreeing with Himself; it's multiple scribes' differing points of view.
On the topic of forskin collection, how exactly did that work? Did he kill and/or capture 100 people, and remove them all himself; got done and was having so much fun that he decided to go for seconds, or did he make them remove each other's forskins under threat of deat because after all team work makes the dream work...
How many ended the class with a headache. This shit it difficult to listen even with Seth voice.
Shop smart, shop S-Mart.

Judging by the upvotes, there's not enough Army of Darkness fans.
@@Kobi_89 I remember going to the theater to see it when i was like twelve years old with my friend, and i have loved it ever since. I wasn't even aware that it was the third in a series of movies and only later saw Evil Dead 1 and 2. Evil Dead 2 is probably my favorite.
@@cullenarthur8879 I've seen it on VHS for the first time. I was 8, I think. Also didn't know that it's the third movie.
@@Kobi_89 yeah, if you haven't already, check out Evil Dead and Evil Dead 2. Army of Darkness is kind of silly, but Evil Dead one and two are flat out horror flicks. They take place at a cabin in the woods where Ash and his friends find the Necronomicon Ex Mortis, and the evil spirits possess them one by one. It sends him back in time to where Army of Darkness take place.
Humans and Giants procreating...childbirth must have been Hell!
I quite liked the Noah movie, had a kind of a Mad Max vibe about it.
Good poppy want to go to space! :D
Seth, they saw if he'd had enough swing for his stature.
Missing Sunday school can be disastrous: what all Eastern Orthodox presbyteras, priest’s wife, would say. Alas, the general-culture stereotyping of Christianity (evangelical youth, *do* miss Sunday school: yEc and AGW rejection).
"The fear of Hell," from pulpits:
a. Today's biblical exegesis. In the mainline Protestant Churches-the slim majority within North America, old-Earth creationism, btw-there is not a fiery Hell.
1. So too, non-believers are not sent to "an eternal punishment in a lake of fire."
2. Pascal's wager is "so 1600s," an outdated idiom. The depiction of the Forbidden Fruit as an apple and the characterization of a Hell, are from Medieval Europe; the more correct biblical exegesis, is hell as 'the grave.'
3. Until the sixth century that was a fringe doctrine; most of the churches and catechetical schools did not believe in eternal conscious torment of the damned.
4. _The Far Side_ cartoons on it are only a little younger than the modern evangelical Christian description of Hell.
b. The (Genesis) Talking Serpent or a Devil personified is an allegory, to "The evil that is in the world;" institutional disorder, dysfunction.[Gerhard von Rad]
Rather than the personification of the Devil. There is the existence of demons.
