Steve goes solo this week for his hot take on how the American Evangelical / Fundamentalist belief in biblical inerrancy (a relatively new concept, actually) has led to the era of Trump and conspiracy theories ruling the church

Some sources on Steve’s crazy claims: (There are many more than these, but these are all a good start/summary of the topic. Also, there are obviously many opinions on these things, so please search out and read multiple sides of the arguments)

  • “The God of the Israelites was initially named “El” and it became “Jahweh” later in history” - link
  • “The Bible never tells us that homosexual relationships are wrong” - start with this book
  • “The book of Revelation almost didn’t make it into the Bible at all” - link
  • “Job was not a real person” - Book
  • “Isaiah was written by multiple authors in different eras” - link
