The Atheist Experience 30.20 with Justin and Godless Engineer

About this episode

Justin and Godless Engineer discuss forged scriptures and biblical editing during a 24-hour fundraiser episode.

Special Episode: We Are Here 24 hour fundraiser! https://aca.show/wearehere This episode was extracted from our 24hour fundraiser live stream on May 16-17. We apologize for the delayed posting! In today’s episode of the Atheist Experience, Justin and Godless Engineer celebrate the "We are here" fundraiser by exposing forged scriptures and dismantling the toxic "true vine" metaphor! From styleometric algorithms to the brutal reality of biblical editing, the hosts challenge believers to bring receipts for their holy claims. Aaron in TX critiques John 15, noting Jesus’ vine metaphor sounds like a threat. Hosts explain how the Bible uses guilt to manufacture a need for a savior, similar to a drug dealer. Can a toxic relationship ever be considered divine love? Keith in TX asks about Bible editing, leading to a dive into the Documentary Hypothesis and interpolations. Hosts highlight how forgeries were added to push specific agendas. If God is guiding the text, why are there so many human errors? Thank you for joining us this week! We will see you next time!
