In this episode of An Atheist Reads the Bible, we dive into Genesis 2-4, where things get complicated—and a little bizarre. We start with a second, somewhat contradictory creation story, where Adam is formed from dust, Eve from his rib, and a forbidden tree is planted within easy reach. As Adam and Eve face exile after the infamous fruit incident, humanity spirals quickly into sibling rivalry and murder, with Cain and Abel setting the stage for jealousy and divine favoritism. We explore the confusing origins of Cain’s mysterious wife, Lamech’s disturbing boasts of revenge, and the growing questions about morality, justice, and population gaps in the early Bible. Tune in as we unpack these ancient stories with a skeptical eye and plenty of questions.Join the Patreon: This podcast is made possible by my patrons.

Genesis 1: In the Beginning, God Was Bored
Welcome to Genesis 1, where God decides to start his biggest DIY project: literally everything. In just six days, we go from pitch black nothingness to land, water, animals, and—surprise—humans. (Because apparently, we’re a key part of the plan.)I’ll be breaking down all the odd choices, like why light shows up before the sun, and asking the important questions, like who exactly was God talking to when he said, “Let us make humans in our image?” Buckle up for some cosmic plot holes as we take a look at God's universe experiment.Join the Patreon: This podcast is made possible by my patrons.

Now, I’m going back through it as an atheist, and I’ve got questions.From talking snakes and magical floods to plagues of frogs, someone surviving in a fish for three days, and, of course, a whole lot of smiting and loving the smell of burnt flesh... What’s up with that?Whether you grew up in church, left it behind, or you’re just curious about the Bible from a different angle, join me as I walk through the text with open questions, some skepticism, and plenty of 'Wait… is that really what it says?' moments.So, grab your Bible—or don’t—and join me for an atheist’s journey through the stories that have shaped history, belief, and culture for thousands of years.Subscribe to An Atheist Reads the Bible!
