So far so awesome. I'm a lifelong atheist who had no real religious upbringing aside from going to church for a few years as a young child. I took a few religion classes in college just for fun and I now have a father-in-law who is a Lutheran minister. I've always had an interest in religions in general and how they were influenced by the times and cultures of their creators, and then how the religions came to influence the times and cultures of their followers. For years I've wanted to write a page-by-page modern translation of the Bible, as a culturally interested but decidedly non-Christian non-believer, inspired by the story of the KJV's commission/translation. So two months ago in the first days of the pandemic I had my chance and it's been a fun and fascinating journey. I stumbled upon this via Tom Ziller's basketball newsletter and it's almost like serendipity. Can't wait for more.

I’m a United Methodist Minister and mourning Shutdown Fullcast listener. In fact, my brother’s name was once made fun of on the show (Zach Tribble). This is hysterical. Happy to help in any way. I have far too much knowledge of various Bible stories.
