Episode 33: The Messy Antics of Prophecy
In the news this week: people are compartmentalizing reality again, another love-fest planned to show the Mormons how it’s done, the “Religious Right” needs to start putting its politicians in chastity belts, Orthodox Jews riot because they live in a country with child-welfare laws (and parking lots,) more evidence is found of evolution via natural selection (like we needed more,) Jimmy Carter does something pretty awesome, and this man:
has big plans for your genitals!
This week, we discuss messianic prophecy, which is to say, prophecy concerning the Jewish “messiah.” Lamar leads us through a discussion of what it means when something is prophecy and how the writers of the new testament might have fudged a bit when trying to tie some of these prophecies to Jesus. We also run into some “prophecy” that isn’t prophecy at all! If you are interested in just how full of shit Christian apologetics can get, this is the show for you. And even if you’re not, we still have mad mudkipz.
That’s a little something for Lamar, there. Get you an education, son!
