Zechariah's Contradictions: God Is Furious. Unless He Isn't.


šŸ“ Episode Summary:


Buckle up, heretics—it's our last dance with Zechariah, and we’re sending him off with a contradictions episode so absurd, even God might need a flowchart. In this glorious finale, our snarky hosts debate whether Zechariah was Iddo's son or grandson (because apparently genealogy is as hard for the Lord as kindness). Then it's on to God’s rage issues: is He full of ā€œgreat furyā€ or just pretending not to be? Depends on the verse, the day, and how smitey He’s feeling.


But the real theological whiplash hits when we ask: how should strangers be treated? One verse says love them like family, the next says kill them without mercy. You know, totally normal divine guidance. It all spirals into hilarious chaos as the hosts quiz each other on Zechariah’s bizarre visions, measuring lines, oily trees, and that one moment where Joshua gets a celestial wardrobe makeover.


There’s also a deep dive into the dangerous allure of black-and-white moralism, a pop quiz with suspiciously many ā€œCā€ answers, and yes—a Star Trek reference about pretend nukes and incinerator death lotteries. Because why not?
