[irrelig]In this episode, we break from crazy Mormon stories and instead take apart the Ten Commandments: what are they, where did they come from, why do we care, and what do they mean? Do they actually form the basis for American jurisprudence? Should they be engraved on monuments everywhere? Do we even have the right ones?

We also give a shout out to fellow Irreligiosophite podcasters Joemma and the Second Law, as well as the Mormon brothers +1 and their anticipatory plagiarizin’ Church of Awesome. And we do some Skunk Dicks, too.

[irrelig]For this episode we have President of American Atheists David Silverman on the show, talking about growing up Jewy, deconverting at an early age, his experience on Bill O’Reilly, and the importance of the atheist movement. And oh yeah, a little atheist convention in Des Moines, Iowa.

[irrelig]Finally we get to Chuck’s research on Judaism, focusing on the inter-Testamental period. Ever wonder what happened between the Old and the New Testaments? Well too bad, we’re telling you anyway. We discuss events from the Ptolemaic reign through the Seleucids, the Hasmonean independence, Roman rule, and what happened to lead up to the destruction of the second Jewish Temple and the disastrous Bar Kochba Rebellion.

That + iTunes reviews + Skunk dicks is episode 92.
