PhD Says God Endorses Rape & Slavery in the Bible — Joseph was "Flaming Young Queen in a Dress" ⁉️

Is the God of the Bible a moral monster? This week on the Ask A Christian Podcast, Nate and the crew wade neck-deep into TikTok's most confident Bible critics — and one of them has a PhD, so you know it's serious. Jennifer Thompson, PhD, delivers a lengthy video indictment of Scripture, claiming God endorsed rape in Deuteronomy 22, that Old Testament slavery was divinely sanctioned oppression, and that the story of Job is basically God gambling with a faithful man's life for sport. The hosts take it apart piece by piece, unpacking ancient Near Eastern war customs, what the Talmud's 36-volume expansion of Mosaic law actually says, and the surprisingly useful Vermont vs. New Hampshire analogy you didn't know you needed. Also in this episode: the "just read the Bible and you'll become an atheist" crowd gets a full response, the Bible vs. Superman comic book argument gets settled (hint: the authors' own claims matter), and the Queer Bible Commentary calls Joseph a "flaming young queen" in a "fruity dress." We looked it up. It's a real book. It costs $112. The Bible is free at any church, just so you know. In the news: a woman wearing a "Jesus Over Pride" hoodie gets escorted from a Detroit Tigers game, Evangelist Millisent Cedra sparks national debate for simply stating that Christians can't affirm LGBT ideology (which, apparently, qualifies as news now), and Asbury Theological Seminary fires back after the United Methodist Church delists them for refusing to affirm same-sex relationships. Then the Holy Nope of the episode: a pastor looked up the word "flask" — from a Hebrew Old Testament text — in Greek, landed on a conclusion about anointing oil that no doctor, biblical scholar, or gynecologist would endorse, and used it to collect a $226 seed faith offering. Bless her heart. The episode closes on something genuinely beautiful: a deaf man shares what he's most looking forward to experiencing in heaven. Bring tissues. Unlike everything else in this episode, it lands perfectly.
