Heyeth, best friends in Christ! The Lord hath sent us His Most Fabulous Messenger—Catherine Cohen of the village of Houston—to discuss His “Second Testament,” aka The New Testament, aka Season 2 of the Holy Bible. From weeping for thine Jewish friends who will burn in the fires of Hell to why Jesus resembleth a member of Fleet Foxes, the divine sex workers of Nazareth, Jesus having only child syndrome, TEDxBethlehem, and addressing if the Virgin Mary was a liar (yes). This is the Book of All Books, The Lastest of all Suppers. Come break unleavened bread and Slay In The Name of All That Is Holy. Amen.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/cbcthepodSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Get on your knees, ladies! Toxic gay Twitter frenemy Ben Mora joins our favorite Massholes for the world’s biggest celebrity—God—and his 1300 B.C. bestseller, The Bible. From everyone on the pod having COVID (God’s work) to which Bible characters are non-binary, Nazareth’s circumcision obsession, Noah’s red carpet, Lily and Ben’s Unitarian Universalist pasts, and why God is a JAP—this is a journey of biblical proportions. Amen, brother.Support the show: https://www.patreon.com/cbcthepodSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
