Unhinged Bible Study

Unhinged Bible Study

2023-08-0105:16

Come along with me as I read the Bible, summarize the content, make snarky commentary, ask questions, attempt jokes and ultimately just study the bible in an unhinged way. PLEASE NOTE: this series will contain read-throughs, opinions and general shit talking from me, an atheist. If you don't think you will enjoy this kind of content then move along, no hard feelings. I do not condone shenanigans. ______________________________________ SUPPORT ME Join my Members Only YT - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCac67iSTjKdAHGTDXisTdLw/join Patreon - http://www.patreon.com/nataliemeagan Ko-Fi - https://ko-fi.com/weirdobookclub MORE PLACES TO FIND ME: Bookstagram - https://www.instagram.com/weirdobookclub Booktok - https://vm.tiktok.com/TTPdBsMg3D/ Website/Blog - https://www.weirdobookclub.com If you'd like to join Weirdo Book Club and read with us, click this link! https://bookclubs.com/clubs/5965183/join/594105/ ______________________________________ Get full access to Weirdo Book Club at weirdobookclub.substack.com/subscribe --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/weirdobookclub/message
