The Bible (According to My Sister)

In the Bible Story Corner we're back in Revelation! We finally dive into what millennialism is and how that's made America kinda weird. ALSO Shannon totally missed the 50th anniversary of Jesus Christ Superstar last year, and NEEDS to make up for it.

Abbey finally explains what's going on with the first part of Ezekiel. Shannon discovers Jesus stuffies.

Abbey brings the story of Michal (first wife of King David, but also her own person, alright), in an attempt to enrage Shannon. She succeeds but is also able to bring up interesting points about spiritual abuse and what the point of a biblical story is if not to learn morals.Shannon wants everyone to listen to How to Save a Planet (but specifically the episode about converting evangelicals to believe in Climate Change.

Abbey talks about the book of Jude, but finds too many dead ends to draw good conclusions. In Silly Stuff, Shannon's found a new way to torment Abbey (hint: it involves zombies).

Abbey discusses refuge cities as seen in Joshua, Numbers, and Deuteronomy. Also why aren't there more sermons and commentaries about this?? The sisters have to come to their own conclusions. Shannon continues to make mistakes, this time by reading and evangelical propaganda book. It makes her cranky.

Abbey opens her bible to a random page and starts a conversation about what we can get from the bible.Shannon's watched Blue Like Jazz (again apparently) and doesn't hate it.

Even through tech difficulties, Abbey muddles her way through sharing about the Gospel of Thomas. She insists its Bible related even if it's not in any Bible. Silly Stuff with Shannon turns into Side Conversations with Shannon as she tries to come up with a thesis on folk music and Christian theology. http://www.crivoice.org/thomas.htmlhttp://gnosis.org/Guitalele's Happy Place by Stefan Kartenberg (c) copyright 2017 Licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (3.0) license. http://dig.ccmixter.org/files/JeffSpeed68/56194 Ft: Kara Square (mindmapthat)

Abbey and Shannon rename doubting Thomas to Thomas the twin (There are reasons). They are geek out while doing so, because theology is awesome. Lamb makes a comeback. Shannon finds a new source of puns in children's shows.

Abbey and Shannon are back at it for part 1 of 2, thanks to an Abbey spiral of things she's interested in. Today it starts with Mary, in a garden, looking for Jesus. Shannon tries her hand at transitions and transformations and maybe succeeds?

Abbey takes a look at the short passage in the bible that has spawned many ideas... the tower of Babel. Shannon accidentally googled Jesus and vampires, and worse . . . she found something.
