The Atheist Experience episode #606 will be about the Bible’s impact on our culture, focusing on the book of Genesis. Dust off that Bible and follow along. We’ll talk about
- how just-so stories have been used to blame and repress minority groups,
- how the in-group uses the stories to align with power and justified thuggery,
- how the breeding log of Genesis provides convenient hooks for derivative religions, and
- how so many aspects of the goofy episodes in Genesis still remain with us while the really embarrassing ones are forgotten.
In future episodes, we’ll look at the greatest hits from some other parts of the Bible.
