Episode 82: BOM Recap and Ramblings Jun 01, 2015

Show notes

The long awaited "final thoughts" of the Book of Mormon is here. I do my best attempt to abridge this abridged book, and then share my thoughts about the whole thing. Hopefully I made some sense along the way.

"Drink" Count – This one's a BYOB

Episode 81: Moroni 10 (the FINAL chapter) May 25, 2015

Show notes

Well, this is it, we finally close the book on the Book of Mormon. But before we do, Moroni makes a bunch of questionable claims, and even gives us the famous "Moroni Promise". We also learn about a little trick for how to render god completely powerless, and you'll never guess how simple it is. Then it's all done, and I decide to pray. Yes, that's right, I pray...

But before all that John Dehlin joins me to talk about the new partnership for the Taylor Scholarship with the Open Stories Foundation. And you'll also hear about my upcoming trip to Salt Lake City, Utah!

"Drink" Count – 4 (6 if you include the Dehlin drinks)

Just the one beer (or is it champagne?)

Episode 80: Moroni 8-9 May 17, 2015

Show notes

Almost done the book, but not quite yet. In this episode we learn about the gravest of all sins, baptising little children! Just thinking about it can send you straight to hell, so watch out. Then we hear about the pleasant living conditions in the Lamanite and Nephite prisoner of war camps. I'll just put it this way, you'd be much better off to die in battle.

Not a ton of drinks in this one, but we do get a bonus shot!

"Drink" Count – 3, plus one shot

So, a shot and half a beer

Episode 79: Moroni 1-7 May 11, 2015

Show notes

This one starts out like a machine gun as we burst through the early chapters, which are basically Moroni's short "self-help" videos for how to do a bunch of Mormon stuff. Then Mormon takes the stage (yeah, he's back somehow) and it just gets weird from there. Oh, and I worry a lot that this might be the last episode... Thankfully, it's not.

"Drink" Count – 7

Barely a little more than one measly beer :-(

Episode 78: Ether 13-15 May 03, 2015

Show notes

We finish up The Book of Ether in this one, but it goes out with a bang! We also learn that Ether is nothing more than a cave dwelling babbling lunatic, that god likes practical jokes, and the those Jaradites just can't turn down the opportunity for a good fight. Seriously, even the Jaradite babies get into the sword swinging action!

"Drink" Count – 50

Almost 8 and a half beers

Episode 77: Ether 11-12 Apr 27, 2015

Show notes

I think we finally come to the end of the pointless family drama, and none of it seemed to have a point. But then we get a real treat when Moroni apologizes to god for writing such a terrible book! But don't worry, god tells him that anyone that mocks it is a fool (which I guess makes Moroni a fool tool since he was the first to admit how bad it was).

"Drink" Count – 25

A little over 4 beers

Episode 76: Ether 8-10 Apr 19, 2015

Show notes

This one is full of good life lessons. First, a father pimps out his daughter (don't worry, she actually asks him to). Then we learn to never, under any circumstances, belong to an organzation that has any secrets (God HATES that). Next we get more great parenting advice, namely how to starve a troublesome child to death. And we wrap it up by hearing all about the most violent family in history.

"Drink" Count – 58

Almost ten beers!

Episode 75: Ether 4-7 Apr 13, 2015

Show notes

This one starts out with a bunch of Moroni preaching, but we soon get back to the action. First, we have the precarious (and likely pretty disgusting) ocean submarine voyage. Next we get some new family drama! Brother against brother, father against son, cousins killing each other, what else could you ask for?

"Drink" Count – 34

Close to six beers

Episode 74: Ether 1-3 Apr 06, 2015

Show notes

The long awaited "Book of Ether" is finally here! Frankly, it starts out a little slow, although some of the names are a bit funny. But then all the sudden it just happens... prehistoric people start building submarines! Its just amazing! I have to be honest, I'm starting to like this Book of Ether.

"Drink" Count – 22

Close to four beers

Episode 73: Mormon 9 Mar 30, 2015

Show notes

In this one, Moroni does his very best to try and convert me. And it's a pretty impressive attempt, especially since he's doing it from beyond the grave. Will he succeed? Will I finally stop dwindling in unbelief? You'll have to listen to find out!

"Drink" Count – 7

Just a tad more than one beer (weak, I know...)
