In this rib-tickling yet razor-sharp episode of Sacrilegious Discourse, we dissect the hilariously outdated diatribes of Jeremiah Chapter 10, where Christmas trees get the Old Testament side-eye and the big man upstairs gets a bit cranky. Buckle up for a no-holds-barred journey back in time with your favorite irreverent atheists as we explore how ancient scriptures somehow foreshadowed your Aunt Karen's tinsel-laden Douglas Fir.The Bible: a book where prophets rage against the very customs that modern-day Christians hold dear. We're reading Jeremiah's hot takes, and spoiler alert: he's not a fan of your festive fir. If you thought the War on Christmas was a modern invention, wait until you hear what the OG party pooper had to say about decking the halls with boughs of... idolatry?Join us as we laugh our way through the cognitive dissonance of Christmas traditions with roots so pagan they make your horoscope look like gospel. We’ll unpack the cherry-picked justifications religious apologists use to gloss over their tree-trimming, all while taking a side quest into the ongoing saga of the Israelite drama-fest.As always, we keep the wit dialed up and the reverence dialed down, ensuring you get your weekly dose of skepticism with a side of snark. By the end of this episode, you'll never look at a nativity scene the same way again, and you might just feel a little less guilty about that Santa Claus cookie jar.Whether you're here for the biblical banter, the cultural critique, or just to avoid actual Christmas shopping, we've got you covered. So, pour yourself some eggnog (spike optional, but recommended), and settle in for an episode that's more enlightening than a rooftop reindeer display. Remember to hit that subscribe button harder than a mall Santa's lap at the height of the holiday season, and leave us a review that shines brighter than the Star of Bethlehem.Join us on DISCORD: https://discord.gg/8RwwMrb5zKSkip the ads by joining Acast+ https://plus.acast.com/s/6331d364470c7900137bb57dThank you for stopping by Sacrilegious Discourse - Bible Study for Atheists!Check out these links for more information about our podcast and merchandise:Our Homepage: https://sacrilegiousdiscourse.com/ Join Acast+ to enjoy our podcast adfree! https://plus.acast.com/s/sacrilegiousiscourse.
