episode 17: My reasonable doubts part 2
“24One of the more inspirational passages in the Bible tells the story of Elijah, a wise man, yet one cursed with male pattern baldness. One day he was minding his own business, making the long walk to Bethel, when he is attacked by a roving band of children who tease him with names like “bald head.” But Elijah was having none of this, he turns round and curses them in the name of the Lord, and instantly two female bears emerge from a nearby wood and maul all 42 children to death...
episode 18: My reasonable doubts part 3
“There are a large number of striking similarities between the book of Proverbs in the bible and the Egyptian Instruction of Amenemope. Though all surviving texts of the Instruction of Amenemope are of a later date, the works are thought to have been composed during the 12th dynasty. There has been much debate on this topic, but modern scholars agree that there is enough compelling evidence to support the originality of the Instruction of Amenemope...
episode 19: My reasonable doubts part 4
"Dominionists base their economics on Deuteronomy 28, the “Blessings and Cursings” chapter of the Pentateuch. They believe that wealth is a sign of God’s favor, and poverty and illness are visitations of His displeasure and wrath. The poor and sick deserve their lot. It is God’s way to prick their conscience and provoke introspection. Therefore, governments who seek to alleviate their plight are contravening God’s will. Poverty is not seen as a problem to be solved...
episode 20: My reasonable doubts part 5
"How does the Bible ban porn? It’s not clear. I know the mentality. I grew up Evangelical. We’d convinced ourselves that porn was one of the Ten Commandments, and God ideally wanted us covered up, ideally not moving, or touching. (We didn’t like dancing either.) If you can stop thinking about other people— that was ideal. Isn’t that “lust”? But how do we actually find a ban on porn in the Bible? I know the Bible pretty well and I’m stumped...

episode 22: Sexual Humanitarianism and Sexual Good Samaritanism
“What really constitutes great sex though? Sexual positions? Let’s be honest, not all of us are Olympic gymnasts so there are really only so many variations of the same basic, and frankly more comfortable, positions. Is it the number of orgasms? What is it? Researchers have asked this same question and the results might surprise you. Great sex has only a little to do with orgasm and nothing to do with exotic sex positions...
episode 23: The full story of my being forced into the crime world at five years old
“In ordinary language, a crime is an unlawful act punishable by a state or other authority.[1] The term crime does not, in modern criminal law, have any simple and universally accepted definition,[2] though statutory definitions have been provided for certain purposes.[3] The most popular view is that crime is a category created by law; in other words, something is a crime if declared as such by the relevant and applicable law...
