The Batshit Crazy Bible

By: Robert Ragnar

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

At a time when Christian nationalism has taken root in the US government, the literal interpretation of scripture is no longer merely a theological curiosity—it is shaping policy, justifying exclusion, and wielding genuine power over millions of lives. While Donald Trump has become the convenient tool of a decades-long scheme to degrade the separation of Church and State, The Batshit Crazy Bible meets this moment head-on.
Robert Ragnar—lawyer by training, reluctant theologian by necessity—has done what most believers and non-believers alike have never done: read the Bible in its entirety, cover to cover, every verse. His work defies the sanitized Sunday School narrative to reveal something far stranger, more violent, and more consequential: a text of talking donkeys, weaponized foreskins, and divine temper tantrums that simultaneously endorses genocide, sexual coercion, and Bronze Age tribalism. A contradictory Holy Book that has been selectively weaponized to justify authoritarianism for centuries while also presenting a manual for resistance.
This book does not mock faith. It interrogates power. Through sharp wit, rigorous historical context, and a refusal to look away from scripture's most disturbing passages—dubbed "BC Moments"—Ragnar exposes the gap between what the Bible actually says and what we've been told it means. Interludes on lost translations, polytheistic source material, and the political editing of sacred texts reveal a far more complex and human document than orthodoxy admits.
It is a biblical history with illustrations by Matthew Lin delivered in a tone that is equal parts irreverent and urgent. The Batshit Crazy Bible is for critical thinkers, skeptics, the spiritually curious, believers, lapsed believers, ex-evangelicals, secular humanists, atheists and anyone who believes that in dangerous times, humor and honesty are acts of resistance.
If the “word of God” is being used to govern you, the least you can do is read it.
