Wrath of Pod
What if the bible only existed as a big-budget streaming television show? What if it had a team of overworked writers, excessive CGI, and a costume department that really loved the color brown?

Have Your God Call My God (S6 E11) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jephthah is first thrown out of his father’s house to live that Robin Hood lifestyle, then is bribed back with the promise of power when the Israelites really, really need his help to get out of their latest slavery thing. He makes a completely stupid promise to sacrifice the first thing to come out of his house in exchange for victory, apparently forgetting that people who he likes live there. God could probably have prevented that whole thing but he’s still distracted by his kitchen renovation
Genetic Predisposition to Crush Men's Skulls (S6 E10) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Abimelech takes over the city of Shechem with a savvy ad campaign. He then murders his other 69 brothers (nice), leaving only the youngest, an aspiring young spoken-word poet with a thing for tree metaphors. In response to this power grab, Gaal gets drunk and promises to take back the city. He sobers up just in time to get his ass kicked by Abimelech, who in turn has his skull smashed in by a (gasp!) female character. In a shocking turn of events, God draws a line in the sand and refuses to deli
What Happens in Succoth Stays in Succoth (S6 E9) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Gideon is back this week, and he starts by launching his assault on a camp of Midianites on acid. Too bad that they’re all so scared by his trumpets and torches that they don’t stick around for the rap battle.

Although the Israelites ask him to become their king, he refuses, instead choosing to spend his time cooking in his golden apron and fathering 70 children.

Read excerpt
As God once again sells the Israelites into slavery, he falls hard for this week’s judge and savior, Gideon. An angel brings Gideon this news and then uses some flaming BBQ to convince him to do some major renovations on his dad’s altar to Baal. But Gideon keeps asking for signs that God is truly on his side. He’s eventually convinced by a soggy fleece. Gideon then gets his army battle-ready by telling the scaredy-cats to go home and making the rest drink water doggy-style. (Judges 6:1-7:8) Join
God’s Terrible eBay Rating (S6 E7) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Once again, the Israelites have gotten their sorry idol-worshipping asses sold to another nation as punishment. But this time, they’re saved by women! First, Deborah the prophetess shoves a reluctant Israelite commander onto the battlefield to fight the Canaanite army, headed by a testosterone junkie named Sisera. Sisera escapes from the battle and seeks refuge with Jael, who first screws up his drink order and then stabs him through the head. We wrap up with a weird musical number about Sisera’
