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).

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.

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?

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.

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!

Well, it finally happened. The Nephites are all dead. Total genocide. I'm not sure who to blame either, it seemed to me like the Lamanites slaughtered them all, but Mormon is convinced that it was God that did the killing. Then good ol' Moroni comes back, but he's not nearly as fun as we remember him from Episode 1. Actually, he's pretty racist, and quite a bit judgy.

This is the "back and forth" episode. Everyone is good, then everyone gets evil. God likes the Nephites, then God hates the Nephites. The Nephites are winning the war, the Lamanites are winning the war, then the Nephites get the upper hand, then the Lamanites...

If you’ve given up on Jesus because he was just too boring or confusing, then you’ve gotta listen to this one! No joke, he takes these three random dudes and turns them into pure awesomeness! Seriously, it’s hard to describe just how awesome these dudes are. You just have to listen for yourself.

Jesus keeps talking, and talking, and talking. It's unclear whether or not he even understands what he's talking about, but that doesn't stop him for babbling on about it. Also, we learn that Jesus and the angel Moroni must hang out a lot because they both have the same habit of jumping back and forth between heaven and earth without any warning or explanation.

Scott and David rack their brains for an hour trying to figure out what in the world Jesus is talking about. Sadly, I'm not sure if we even get close. Seriously though, has anyone been able to make sense of all this babbling? I don't know how much longer Jesus is going to stick around, but it kinda feels like he's outstayed his welcome.

So, Jesus says a bunch of random stuff about Jews and Gentiles, then he heals a bunch of people (isn't that nice of him?), and then he pulls a magic trick and poofs back to heaven. But just when you thought we'd have to miss him forever, Jesus pops back in the next day. Who knows how long he's going to stay this time?

If you've read the New Testament of the Bible, then I'm afraid there isn't very much in this one in the way of new material. However, with his second stop on his world tour, Jesus does make a few tweaks to his act so you'd better be paying attention! And then Jesus teaches us that we should never ask god for anything (especially not food, water, or clothes), and then later he tells us that all we need to do is ask god and we will receive... So yeah, who knows?

Back by very popular demand, Scott from My Biased Opinion joins us again to try and make sense of Jesus' ramblings. We are then given a surprise visit by none other than the great Adam Reakes from The Herd Mentality Podcast, where we get a sneak peek at his latest audio masterpiece. Which is good, because we need something to entertain us while Jesus goes on and on trying to finish his second performance of the sermon on the mount.

This one starts off with mormon god bragging about all the people he just burned, drowned, buried alive, etc. I get a little pissed (well, maybe a little more than a little) and I let god know how I feel about him and his murderous rampage. But things take a turn for the better because our boy Jesus shows up! But I hope you didn't have very high expectations, because there seems to be something wrong with his head.

Things start out a little boring as everyone is finally living in peace. But we don't have to wait long before Satan comes in and starts messing with everyone and turning them back to the dark side. And just when you think things can't get any worse, Jesus goes and gets himself killed on the other side of the planet which (for some reason) causes the most horrific natural disasters you could imagine to afflict the Americas. I'm actually not really sure if anyone actually survived.

In this episode we're joined by Scott from the My Biased Opinion blog. And together we read about all the robbers getting senselessly slaughtered, but good news, anyone that survived the carnage is now good and righteous! Then this mysterious figure named Mormon shows up and starts claiming that he's been writing this book the whole time. How is that even possible?

We start out with the "bright as noon day" night to tell us that the big man Jesus himself was finally born, yet somehow a bunch of those Nephites and Lamanites remain as stiffnecked as ever. Then those Gadianton robbers offer a truce, but the Lord's people choose to fight rather than surrender! The stage is set for an epic battle!

For our 60th episode, we are joined by Philip Wells from SAB Books who is in the process of writing The Skeptic's Annotated Book of Mormon. And then we get back into Helaman where we learn about some incredible astronomical and meteorological phenomenon that supposedly occurred in the America's during the birth and death of Jesus. Oh, and then zombies get referenced again, but once again we don't really get any good zombie details.

God gives Nephi a ton of superhero powers, and Nephi decides to use them to starve thousands of people to death. What a great guy! And then we learn how much god thinks we're all pretty much usless. I'm not gonna lie, this one is a bit depressing.
