This time we unlearn what we learned from the 2014 Russell Crowe movie and dig into the real story of Noah. We've got arks, we've got floods, we've got weird incest. We celebrate Pride and protests for civil rights by digging into some more Biblical justifications for racism - and why they're bullshit.

PLUS: Our bonus segment this week centers around the civilizations that spring up from Noah's sons (allegedly). What is the "Ashkenazi" of "Ashkenazi Jews"?

Holy Spirit: Cherry Vodka

This time, we take a look at the controversial story of Mary Magdalene. What do we know about one of Jesus' closest confidantes? What was their relationship, exactly? Mike geeks out about Coptic, and we review a few Apocryphal sources, including the mysterious "Gospel of Jesus' Wife." Of course, we also talk about the Da Vinci Code and other more modern legends surrounding Mary Magdalene.

PLUS: This time our bonus segment is a particularly grisly bit of Apocrypha involving Mary Magdalene, Jesus himself, and many, many bodily fluids.

Holy Spirit: Tequila

We're back to Genesis! We take a deep dive into the Cain and Abel story, who they were, and what they signified. Was it about the hot sister this whole time? Which parts of the story were cherrypicked to justify racism? What is the Mark of Cain, really? What are your career options when God curses you to a life of wandering?

PLUS: Stick around for a bonus segment at the end, which explores the connections between Greek gods and the Bible.

Holy Spirit: Whiskey

We take a break from the Genesis stories and dig into the mythology of angels - what they look like, where they come from, and what they do in pursuit of God's will. Who (or what) is the Angel of the LORD? What happened to Lucifer? And what in the world are Nephilim?

It's time to take it alllllll the way back to creation - starting in Chapter 1, verse 1 of Genesis. This time we learn about Adam & Eve, Original Sin, and the Mesopotamian source material that inspired it all. Find out how ancient people viewed history, why Eve was made from Adam's "rib," and how woman-blaming became the default.

Holy Spirit: Rum

Pilot episode - Mike, Tara, and Heather get together to take our first deep dive into the Bible, exploring one of its most controversial figures: Pontius Pilate. We get drunk and dig in to the circumstances around Jesus' execution, the Roman conquest of Judaea, and Anti-Semitism in the Gospels. We also learn the definition of Henotheism: Mars may buy you dinner, but Saturn got the diamonds.

Holy Spirit: Gin
