Hello, I am Quinn from the Discord in the Thunderstorm, unofficial fan server, and if like us, you do know

that we did in fact evolve from filthy monkey men, please join us. It's Thursday. It's March 31st. And it's Terry's Day. Yeah, because Christians are literally only pro-life when it means anti-choice. Right? I have no illusions.

I'm Eli Bosnick. I'm Heath Enright. And from Snooki's, New Jersey, and over Michigan and way across Georgia, this is The Scathing Atheist. On this week's episode, Lindsey Graham fails his own pop quiz. He does. We learn that health and happiness are apparently anti-Semitic. And Don Ford will do enough voices for it to sound like we have a bunch of friends. But first, the diatribe.

In a 1999 address at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in Washington, D.C., American physicist and Nobel laureate Steven Weinberg famously said, quote, Religion is an insult to human dignity. With or without it, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion. End quote. Now, that's one of those quotes that atheists tend to love when they're new to atheism and tend to kind of hate once they've been here for a while. It's problematic, of course, because it's so effortlessly refutable. It simply isn't true.

It's problematic, of course, because it's so effortlessly refutable. It simply isn't true. Religion is just one of the many forms of lying that can have that effect. Political ideology, bigoted propaganda, garden variety deception, those can all be used to push a good person over the line into an immoral act. So the absolute nature of the quote becomes ready fodder for the religious apologist. That being said, that refused to quote not the point i mean you can back way off the absolutism and it's still saying something pretty damnable about religion and i mean yes weinberg does over the state the case but in a very real sense he also kind of

understates the case i mean the dichotomy between good people and evil people is obviously problematic by itself we're not a fucking George Lucas movie. But we have to remember that religion is just as good at making bad people worse as it is at making good people bad. That may not seem like an important point to make, but I'd argue that it is. See, when we think of religion making a good person do a bad thing, we normally think of it as a tool, right? Like somebody would be using the religion to manipulate a person into doing something that might otherwise violate their sense of morality and while that certainly does happen and while religion is a super useful tool for doing exactly

that that isn't the only way it makes people worse unlike most tools religion doesn't need anyone to wield it its evil making effects can work even when the damn thing is sitting on a shelf. Take, for example, the text messages recently released by the January 6th committee between Ginny Thomas and Mark Meadows. So to clarify for foreign listeners and people blissfully unplugged from the news cycles, these are texts that were sent to Donald Trump's chief of staff by the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas in the wake of the 2020 election. And the overriding theme of the messages was you need to overthrow the democratic process and install Trump as a god king, complete with sources that Alex Jones would be embarrassed to cite. It's as ridiculous as it is terrifying. But the one thing that stands out the most to an atheist like myself is the way that every push towards insurrection was bedecked with religious language their entire conversation is loaded with allusions to the

apocalypse in reference to the king of kings triumphing over you know the will of the american people now clearly nobody would accuse mark meadows or ginny thomas of being good people they would no doubt be doing evil things regardless of religion's influence. And there was no nefarious puppeteer pulling their strings here. I mean, there kind of was in the form of Trump. But the key is that they were the nefarious puppeteers in this situation. They were manipulating themselves and one another into doing a thing that they were already actively doing. But religion's convenient proximity no doubt provided an ethical bomb that both of them needed.

Even the worst of us know that a coup against a democratically elected government is a bad thing. But that's no problem if you remind yourself that the only vote that really counts belongs to Jesus. And throughout those texts, you would see claims about Christ's role in electing Donald Trump conspicuously following any hints of insurrection. Of course, the overtly religious nature of their justifications caused many would-be apologists in the media to take umbrage on behalf of the King of Kings. Joe Scarborough notably devoted several minutes to how offended he was that somebody would dare to invoke the name of Christ the savior in their effort to overthrow the government like as though they didn't storm the capital carrying christian signs wearing christian garb chanting christian slogans waving christian flags and saying christian fucking prayers see the most terrifying thing about religion isn't that it encourages people to do evil acts is that it blinds people to evil acts now, with an avalanche of evidence that Christian nationalism is the greatest threat to our country, the overwhelming majority are still constantly surprised every time they're forced to reckon with that fact.

We've spent way too long equating church attendance with morality and Christianity with goodness, such that no matter how much evidence shows us the opposite is true, we can't fucking see it. I mean, one half of America's political system either suffers from apocalyptic delusions or is beholden to people who suffer from apocalyptic delusions. The fact that our foreign policy is, at least to some degree, dictated by the fact that Christians think the Jews have to be in charge of Israel for the world to end correctly should be the most terrifying thing any of us knows. But America has a blind spot, a religion-shaped hole in its head, if you will. And so we treat policies informed by a literal belief in the biblical apocalypse as, at best, quaint. So yeah, Steven Weinberg was wrong. Religion was so much worse than he was giving it credit for

joining me for headlines tonight are the ugg and wrong way to mike coiley heathenright and eli bosnick fellas are you ready to hop to it love cubert such a good game i was gonna say fun fact if you got that joke you you need glasses to text.

Honey, if you'd like your money back for this one, you just let us know. We were just trying a thing. They're going to love this. Okay. And now, back to the headlines headlines in our lead story tonight in

too brown for the bench news if you listen to our sister show the skeptocrat you know that we covered last week's shall we say farcical confirmation hearings of future supreme court justice kentonji brown jackson and while i'd love to reiterate the deep and abiding stupidity of so many republican questions at those hearings over here at the scathing atheist there's one line of questioning i'd like to talk about in particular here and that would be lindsey graham's attempted gotcha when it came to her face oh my god it's nice to see that lindsey graham can make an ass out of himself at confirmation hearings in a bipartisan way right he sure can yeah he stormed out at one

point oh so good see like every other unrelated and unhinged rant during the confirmations hearing the platonic graham cracker was trying to make an unrelated point in this case the treatment of justice amy coney barrett during her confirmation hearings now Barrett is part of a too crazy for the Catholic Church cult, which, among other things, speaks in tongues and refers to some of its female members as handmaidens. And during her confirmation hearing, Democrats had the gall to mention that. Yep. So Graham decided to get his revenge by proving how sane, by comparison, Brown Jackson was compared to Barrett. Yes. The point he literally ended up making was we can do the same thing we falsely accused y'all are doing. Right. Noah, you might be reenacting this dialogue with me.

I'll be Graham. You be Jackson. And Heath, do you mind being her inner monologue here? Oh, there you go. Okay. Katonji Brown Jackson's inner monologue. All right. I'll see if I you be Jackson, and Heath, do you mind being her inner monologue here? Oh, there you go. Okay, Katonji Brown Jackson's inner monologue. All right. Let's see if I still have my Lindsey Graham. What faith are you, by the way? I hate you so much. Senator, I am Protestant.

Okay. Non-denominational. You fucking juice box of a human being. Okay, could you fairly judge a Catholic?olic senator i have a record of judging everyone i'm just asking the question because how important is your faith to you oh fuck i'm basically an atheist because i can read what do i say here senator personally my faith is very important but as you know there's no religious test in the constitution under article six and and there'll be none with me cool you literally just provided one during a My faith is very important. But as you know, there's no religious test in the Constitution under Article 6. And there will be none with me.

Cool. You literally just provided one during a congressional hearing. And it's very important to set aside one's personal views about things in the role of a judge. I couldn't agree with you more. And I believe you can. So on a scale of 1 to 10, how faithful would you say you are in terms of religion? Can you hear him speaking? You know, I go to church probably three times a year, so that speaks poorly of me.

Or do you attend church regularly? That's literally the thing that speaks best of you, for sure. Well, Senator, I am reluctant to talk about my faith in this way because I want to be mindful of the need for the public to have confidence in my ability to separate out my personal views. You look like Peppa Pig got punched in the face. And seen. He does look like that. He does. He does look a lot like that. So after this exchange, Graham went on to explain his bit like a racist slowly backing out of a bar. Yeah. But the opposite point than the one he wanted had been made, right? Katonji Brown Jackson is qualified to sit on the court precisely because she's able to separate her legal opinions from her faith, if she has any. Wish the same could be said for our senators, but you know, it's 2022.

I'll take the Supreme Court seat for now and count my blessings. Yeah, right. Amy Coney Barrett literally wrote an essay that said a Catholic judge couldn't do their job because they would have to recuse themselves from a bunch of stuff like about capital punishment. They were quoting her when they talked about it. Yes.

It's just relevant. So by definition with her case. Also, she's evil. Like you're the bad guys. You're the fucking bad guys. That's also the difference. Fuck you. And in Haaretz do the time warp again. Fantastic. Don't you be ashamed of that.

Don't you be ashamed of that. Say it loud. Say it proud. Haaretz is the land of Israel, I believe, translated. This is about some Jewish stuff and some time stuff. and that all made sense. So, the U.S. Senate recently passed the Sunshine Protection Act, which would put us on daylight savings time

permanently starting in March of next year. But many of the more observant Jewish communities of America have a big problem with that, because it fucks up their morning magic routine. And that's not a morning magic routine. That's not like coffee with butter and a quick's not like morning magic routine that's not like coffee with butter and a quick heege like everybody else it's a praying routine that

happens right after sunrise it has to happen right after sunrise so it's going to get bumped up by an hour in the winter and that's going to conflict with real stuff like jobs right which conservative jews are so well known for having all those orthodox guys you see working in mcdonald's i i love that our solution to daylight savings time is stupid though isn't to get rid of it it's like it's like we have to do at least half stupid as a compromise or something it is america so according to the jewish magical spell book there's a set of prayers that has to happen after sunrise and with permanent daylight savings time if you're all the way in the northwest corner of your time zone sunrise during most of the winter is going to happen

later than 8 a.m and sometimes even later than 9 a.m for all the all the orthodox jewish people in alaska it'll be after 10 a.m. at its latest moment. And for certain types of magic, you have to get together with a quorum of at least 10 people and recite the spell communally, which takes about 30 to 40 minutes every morning. And based on a photo from the article

on religionnews.com that I saw, this magic thing also involves a smock with plenty of yarn handles, at least two very large rolling pins, some leather bondage nunchucks. I think they're called tefillin. Yep. And a guy wearing dress pants with the, I'm pretty sure,

exact same Velcro sneakers as Eli Bosman. Yeah. I don't know how Religion News got my bar mitzvah photos, but you will be hearing from my lawyers, sirs. It'll be to apologize for a flaming bag of poop or something, but yeah, she will hear.

So in response to the new bill, the vice president of government affairs for Agadath Israel of America, his name's Rabbi Abba Cohen. He issued a statement explaining the problem for him. Lots of Jewish people wouldn't be able to do their magic and still get to work on time in the winter. Well, Congress is in charge of scheduling and they already kind of posted the new time system

after it got passed in the Senate. But according to Rabbi Cohen, they could fucking unpost it. Despite plenty of data that shows the new time system is going to make the country healthier, happier, and very literally prevent death, like a good amount of death will be prevented on top of those other advantages, Cohen and a handful of other Jewish

leaders want to get the bill canceled before it gets passed by the House and signed into law. Yeah. Are they planning to take the how much America cares about Jews angle or the how easy it is to change politicians' minds once they're made up? Tricky.

Try both. See what happens. So I'm pretty sure there's a solution here. That's the thing. The solution would be we do the daylight savings time and go fuck yourself. But the point is,

there's already an existing way to deal with it when a religion thing happens during the workday. Like on Friday afternoon, for example, lots of Jewish employees are allowed to leave work early before sundown because something with sundown magic happens. And if they need to make up those hours somehow, they do it when there's not

a sun-based magical event, and it's fine. There you go. If the guy at my halal cart can fucking duck out for carpet prayers nine times a day or whatever i feel like you guys can do bagels and god chat in the break room like right what's going on people well i mean given like the fucking penis mutilation the silly hats all that stuff judaism kind of needs a few more fringe benefits right coming in at 9 30 in the morning like

it's just for recruiting purposes right get to skip homeroom. It's a positive. Just think it through. So just to recap, though, on one side, we have life, health, and happiness statistically across the entire society. And on the other side, religion. Yep. And I could be talking about any story we've ever done on this show. If he ever decides to mail it in that's yeah that's and in cross the speaking of which in cross the finish line news tonight a court in finland is set to decide whether the bible can exonerate a person from hate speech laws and for obvious

reasons christians are nervous as all fuck about it in case centers around a pamphlet called male and female he created them which the nation's prosecutor general says is quote likely to cause intolerance contempt and hatred towards homosexuals end quote and in an admission that they seem to think is a defense christians are pointing out that the same could be said of the very Bible itself. Hmm. Wait. Yeah. Why are you writing that down? Don't write that down. You can't do that. You'd be making Christianity illegal. Making Christianity.

Stop. Stop. I see you still writing. So the defendants here are the pamphlet's author, who served as the nation's interior ministry as recently as 2015, as well as the Lutheran bishop who published it. Now, the woman has three fucking umlauts in her name there's no way i'm getting it right but it looks like paivi rosin and while you could argue that the pamphlet doesn't actually call for violence

actually would be doing a lot of work when you sure would or actually it does point out of course that mosaic law calls for gay people to be put to death and doesn't make any efforts to back away from that. It also says that gayness is a mental disorder, advocates for conversion therapy, says that societal acceptance of LGBTQ partnerships empowers pedophiles,

and claims that it will inevitably lead to the downfall of civilization itself. Oh, so I call you a pedophile societal enemy and you could just start throwing around the b word yeah wow we're literally the happiest country in the world and we mostly got rid of religious assholes like you i feel like it has to be causality too right it's got right it's got to be both so i i should be clear about the controversy here because americans tend to look at free speech as a sacrosanct thing and i'm sure a lot of our listeners would just take issue with criminally charging this lady at all you're wrong

by the way just real quick those listening but but that's just the law in finland right that's how it is and nearest i can tell and to be clear i'm not an expert on this thing to at least the third power but there's no real question here that her pamphlet violates Finnish hate crime laws. What the court is trying to decide here is whether it should still count, even if she sincerely believes that God has called us to murder the gay people. And if there's any doubt about who's the bad guy here, by the way, I should also point out that she's being represented by the Alliance Defending Freedom International. Yikes. They had to call in hate group pinch hitters from america yeah finland literally did not have a local boy to represent this level of stupid because they're the happiest oh this is like the american

dad in the 80s was the soccer coach somehow finding the one like south american kid within 100 miles of his shitty suburb to be the ringer on the youth soccer team. Jesus. But for hate crimes. For hate crimes. Sometimes that's redundant, but you see. Well, true. Yeah.

Of course, defenders of Rossin and Spigotry are calling the case, quote, a canary in the coal mine for freedom of speech throughout the Western world. End quote. And a columnist in the American Spectator subtitled his story about it, quote, this is what America will soon become if Biden gets his way, end quote. And exponentially an expert as I may be, I can very much assure you that it is neither of those. Nope.

Right? Her trial actually wrapped up in the middle of last month and we're expecting a verdict any day now. Of course, regardless of which way this shakes out, Christian commentators will use it to bolster their hollow cries of persecution for years to come so i figure we should arm you with the basics at least yeah i mean to be fair they were going to do that with or without this case but if you want to learn some finnish names go nuts yeah tell me how rossan in this pronounced that'd be awesome unless i have

to pronounce any more of those names we're going to take a quick break for a word from our second sponsor this week, Adam and Eve. No, dude, you are absolutely not writing an ad again. What? People love that. This episode hasn't come out yet, Heath. Well, they're going to love it. You'll see. People are going to talk about it. I have no doubt that they will talk.

I'm going to talk about it. Excuse me. Could I take a crack at the next one, maybe? Yes! Done. Perfect. Yeah. I write the ad. What is happening? I mean, we talk about it. Excuse me. Could I take a crack at the next one, maybe? Yes, Don. Perfect. Yeah. I write the ads. What is happening?

I mean, we might as well. We let Heath write one. Oh, oh. So just everyone writes ads now. Hey, hey, Don. Do you want to do a diatribe this week, too? I mean, I would love to. Don, I'll stab you in the heart. Just an ad will be fine.

I'm proud of a man. This Week in Misogyny. As a movement, atheism is often criticized for being overwhelmingly white and male.

Now, as we learned from a study a couple weeks ago, part of the problem is that women and minorities are significantly more likely to think that they have to hide their disbelief. But a lot of the problem isn't that too. And that's why it's so important that in addition to looking at the atheist experience, we look at the female atheist experience, the Hispanic atheist experience, the trans atheist experience, etc. And as a longtime advocate of doing exactly that, I want to applaud American Atheists for the

recently released survey on non-religious women. It's a 23-page document that's available for free online. We'll have it linked in the show notes. And it parses the data from the big secular survey they did a couple years back to look specifically at the issues that face women in atheism. It's a really interesting read. Among their findings was a much higher instance of loneliness and depression, higher levels of discrimination, and as I already mentioned, they're way more likely to conceal their religious identity. Now, obviously, I don't have time to go over the entire survey, but it's worth reading. It even has a pretty extensive section on ways to help bring more women into atheism and more atheist women into activism, which we really need. And regardless of what does or doesn't come from it, I think American atheists need some kudos for helping to fill the data gap and show us where we could be doing better.

Of course, if you want to feel better about the many ways the atheist community fills women, you could always take the briefest of glances at the other side and see how much better we're doing. Take, for example, Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina, Mark Robinson. Yeah, no, the ultra-Christian who called transgendered people filth and demonic and repeatedly claimed that straight couples are superior to gay ones. Yeah, well, to nobody's surprise, he's also a huge misogynist who talks on and on about the sanctity of life when it comes time to legislate women's bodies not so much though when it affects him personally see we learned this week that back in 1989 mr sanctity of life paid for an abortion well to be fair the sourcing on it is a little sketchy because we learned it from him. Somebody went digging through his old Facebook post and found a conversation about abortion from back in 2012 where he freely admitted it.

Of course, nobody in the North Carolina GOP wants to comment on it because what the fuck would they say? But even their excuse not to talk about it betrays a lot. They're saying it would be inappropriate to comment on someone else's personal medical choices. So, you know, okay to legislate on, but not to comment on. See, that's the thing about these assholes. Even when they eventually get it right, they managed to get it wrong. That's the case in our last story this week as well. Now, we haven't talked a hell of a lot about the Brian Houston thing, but suffice it to say he's a mega preacher that got ousted from his church after years of complaints of sexual misconduct around women. Well, on Friday, the church released a statement admitting that there were even more accusations than we knew about, and then they tried to blame

his behavior on his sleeping pills. Because you know how some medications have the little label that says send unsolicited sex-based text to your employees as a side effect yeah it's like that anyway the point is as the atheist community strives to be ever more welcoming and understanding of women and their unique issues the other guys are doing whatever the opposite of that is and on that lovely reminder, I'll hand things back over to Noah, Heath and Eli. Thank you, Lucinda. And in Foster's tomb for imaginary friends news, former Mississippi lawmaker, former gubernatorial candidate and Kenneth Parcells fat older brother, Robert Foster, decided to tweet the quiet part out loud this week, admitting that he'd like all the supporters of trans rights executed via firing squad,

saying, quote, some of y'all still want to try and find political compromise with those that want to groom our school-aged children and pretend men are women, etc. I think they need to be lined up against wall before a firing squad to be sent to an early judgment

and actual fucking tweet by a gubernatorial candidate who received 67 000 votes in 2019 yeah i mean look he did pull forth behind undecided in that primary but still these guys keep showing up at your barbecue invited or not you got to start wondering what the fuck you're doing wrong with this barbecue, no? Might be a quick hint. It's the Confederate flags at your barbecue. Yeah, well, right. And the neo-Nazi platform at your fucking weird barbecue. And Ron DeSantis

is a neo-Nazi and he's at the podium of your fucking barbecue. That helps, yeah. Yeah, so when reached for comment by the Mississippi Free Press, Foster, unsurprisingly, doubled down, saying, quote, I said what I said. The law should be changed so that anyone trying to sexually groom children and or advocating to put men pretending to be women in locker rooms and bathrooms with young

women should receive the death penalty by firing squad, end quote. Oh, OK. But in reality, it's the transphobes pretending that men are women and pretending women are men so i i have this sort of pipe dream poetic justice thing where he actually does get this law changed and then they immediately give him a cigarette and a blindfold fuck yeah backfired pepperoni and cheese that's an amazing one person remembers that Tombstone pizza commercial? Yes! Maybe three? Okay, cool. You're going to get it. And in anti-Semite

as well news tonight. Former news correspondent and current Fox correspondent, Laura Logan, bolstered the already impressive list of conspiracy promotion subheadings on her Wikipedia article this week. There's a lot. And an anti-Semitic one at that that she added. It came during an appearance on a QAnon promoting podcast

deceptively titled And We Know, where Logan explained... That's so good. Right? Yeah. And on that show, she explained the secret Jewish origins of the theory of evolution. Are they secret? Yeah. According to unnamed anal sources darwin was actually paid off by the rothschilds to come up with a theory that would discredit

christianity and and judaism is very judaism confusing long game that they had going there yeah it's a little confusing there with the darwin part and you know discrediting both those religions including the one the rothschilds are part of. But then it's like, it's that evolution, something, something, space lasers, wild friars in California, profit. The end part makes sense because they make money. No, I get it because if your whole

thing is exterminating Jews, survival of the fittest is a pretty personal insult, right? Also, unnamed anal sources is Eli's Rush cover band oh yeah oh fantastic so yeah here's the rambly ass nonsense in question complete with the fist fight that she is obviously in with the english language throughout right it's it's like the words in her head knew what she was trying to use them for and started trying to back up in line or something her words rejecting

her like an organ yeah right yeah exactly quote i mean when i found out does anybody know when who employed darwin what where darwinism comes from well i mean you know look it up the roth's childs don't look it up it goes back to 10 downing street and the same people who employed darwin and that's when darwin you know wrote his theory of evolution and so on and so on and i'm not saying that none of that is true i'm just saying darwin was hired by someone to come up with the theory right based on evidence okay fine end quote, I know that hell doesn't exist, but if it did, it was you reading that sentence. So I'd like to thank you for your service.

I'm saluting on my side of the spectrum, just so you know. Fun fact, separate from this story, Lara Logan got likes and retweets from literal Kremlin officials on Twitter last week when she explained how Ukrainian battalions are using Nazi demon magic on the battlefield. So I'm just saying, she was hired by someone to come up with that theory, right? Like, isn't it just check Downing Street or something?

So there you have it, folks. Darwin was paid off by the wealthy Jewish elite to make up evolution, and considering that it went on to be the backbone of modern biology and has been confirmed by every legitimate scientific inquiry that's ever looked into it they're clearly paying off all the other biologists as well sure and if you think that's a prohibitive price tag just imagine what they had to pay those finches because here's the key if you could produce a goddamn contract to come up with a theory of

human origins that disproved the bible and was signed by charles darwin and all the living jews of the time that would not change the fact that it was correct it would not right it would mean that we owed a huge debt of thanks to the international Zionist cabal? Maybe. They do a lot of good stuff, it seems like, right? Damn, right after Hallmark canceled their baby blood themed line too. Now I'm surprised. Did we get him one of the purple ones?

I'd say purple. And finally tonight, we're going to close it out with something very serious, actually. I'd like to give my very important take about what happened at the Oscars on Sunday. And I feel like everyone got this wrong, except me. I got it right. Don't look up was obviously best picture.

Coda, are you fucking, fuck you. Absolutely not. Absolutely not. Now, granted, don't look up was the only nominee that i've seen out of oh okay all right that makes sense but i'm doing a hot take and that's how it works now everybody that's how it works and i stand with you heath and seen okay here's the actual final story and it's delightful professional white guy jordan peterson said that antifa kills people as revenge against god and then he wept yeah a lot i already like antifa you don't have to sell them to me buddy you're fine so if you're not familiar with jordan peterson

he's kind of like canadian ben shapiro but just older uh and if you're not familiar with ben shapiro congrats by the way, he's the antidote for vaginal moisture. His wife explained how that works to him. And they're both alt-right piece of shit commentators. Peterson used to have other jobs but now it's just the podcasting and

it's fucking embarrassing. He has a PhD from McGill University and decades of experience teaching in the psychology department at both Harvard and the University of Toronto. But in terms of getting paid to be a professor, he's getting beat by Eli Bosnick right now. Yes, he is. By a factor of infinity. He rage quit, resign, retired in January from University of Toronto.

The big problem for him was the persecution of cishet white men in academia. Or maybe it was everyone hating him in all of Toronto and the world for being a bigot who refused to use desired pronouns in his class. Either way, now he does a podcast and a YouTube channel, and he gives lectures about the Bible and how the Bible gives us lessons in very important psychology and behavior that we need in order to have a stable society.

That's his theory. Also, he looks like he's dying of a curse. Which makes sense because he looks like an Indiana Jones bad guy, right? So to be clear, he's doing the occupational equivalent of mumbling under his breath that he actually wanted to be in his room anyway mom yeah also just sorry i have to throw this out there he got addicted to pain pills and then almost accidentally

killed himself with his daughter's dumb ass all meat diet yes what i'm saying is every time jordan peterson's name has popped up on my google results for the last three years, it has been awesome. It's been awesome for me. Jesus. It's so rough. I guess the meat is the curse. It's like the fucking picture of Dorian Gray, but it's him and the painting looks great. I don't know.

It's just like a really sexy painting. That's just how paintings work. The painting just keeps looking better. And he's like, fuck, did I backwards it? Damn it. Yeah. So there's one other character in the story we should meet it's andy no some of you know him some of you

don't if you don't he's an alt-right piece of shit commentator he's probably best known for covering protests in portland oregon and getting very conveniently beat up by antifa commando ninjas right before he turns his camera on and then we get to see him all beat up it Antifa commando ninjas right before he turns his camera on. And then we get to see him all beat up. It's very sad for him. Antifa's like Michigan J frog, apparently when Andy knows around, I don't know. And thanks to an anti-fascist who went undercover with some hate groups, we learned that Andy Ngo has a very friendly business relationship with Christian right hate groups like the proud boys, for example. naturally, Andy Ngo was the perfect person for Jordan Peterson to interview this week. And during their talk together, Andy Ngo asked Peterson to explain the psychology

behind Antifa and why they're so evil. Peterson responded, quote, I think it's revenge against God for the crime of being. And what? Yeah's that's correct even andy no was like what there's a big pause while i didn't know just stares into the camera with no idea what the fuck is happening and neither do i right yeah no that's atheist main problem with god guys he's too extant that's the good so we complain about that whenever jordan peterson speaks i feel like he watched a dubbed anime for 11 seconds and was like yep gonna talk like that forever now that's my philosophy okay that's what jordan peterson sounds like that's not an exaggeration that's like an accurate like a chicken man yes so so we get we get that really awkward long pause and then

peterson realizes all right i have to say more words because that was insane obviously andy no is just staring at me so he keeps going he says uh it's cain and abel oh abel's your guy god how about i take him out in the field and beat him to death? How do you feel about that, God? And okay, I don't know what that means either. But that's when Jordan Peterson also is like, I don't know what that means either. And I said it. And he starts just thinking about his own life.

And he gets really sad. And he gets the flutter thing. And he like the waggle on the lip. And he forgets the conversation completely. And he just starts lamenting about his sad life into the distance he continues talking though and he says all my sacrifices went unrewarded yeah yeah that's what it is the bottom of the hell of things end quote and then he definitely starts crying and then he starts to cry weep okay i hate to back up from the crying i'd like to live there longer but is he saying that god's guy is fascism

right i mean i'm not saying he's wrong i just it's not a thing that they would normally admit okay let me give you this hot take. I think Jordan Peterson might literally have burned his best lamb and be mad about it. Right? This is Jordan Peterson we're talking about here. So yeah, moral of the story, Don't Look Up was robbed. They were robbed. Turned off the Oscars right then and there.

Whatever. The rest was probably boring anyway. Nothing happened. And while we, too, shed a tear for how bad Jordan Peterson's answer was, we're going to close the headlines for the night. Heath, Eli, thanks as always. To Monji. And when we come back, we'll be reminded that Don does more than just weird commercials.

commercials. No, you can get the little blowtorch at like Williams-Sonoma and give it a burned crust. You know what I'm saying? On a pizza bagel? Yes, on a pizza bagel. Take it seriously. Okay, guys, you ready for the third ad? I assume Eli wrote this one?

Nope. Well, I didn't write it. I wrote it. Neither did I. Yeah well i didn't write it and wrote it neither did i yeah i didn't look we have to advertise the live show in toronto on may 7th so does somebody want to write something up real quick oh i have something but you said you didn't write it oh no i didn't see since we're just letting people write things for a show now i shot a text over to our good friend thomas smith over at the opening arguments podcast and he wrote the last ad for us noah but absolutely not sorry no it's all we have and he did write it just for you fine whatever it's just one ad hi podcast listener that's very

original stealing our greeting it's me no illusions they they know who i am they're listening to the show, Thomas. Maybe without the commentary, Noah? Fine, fine, fine. First of all, let me say that my appreciation for retro gaming is far inferior to Thomas'. What? He has like a Super Nintendo. Noah.

Fine, fine. We'll be in Toronto on May 7th doing Godawful Movies Live. You can buy tickets at GodawfulMoviesLive.com. And don't forget our Platinum Night where you can get all our merch, dinner, and drinks on us as well as a game night

which probably won't include code names because I'm not nearly as good as Thomas Smith is. Okay, that's it. Absolutely not. Where is my phone? GodawfulMoviesLive.com.

Toronto, May 7th. Come check it out. Did Thomas actually write that? No, I wrote it. Now listen to here you nice mother fucker okay i feel like the ads kind of got away from us this week yep a little bit oh yeah they totally did oh don't play dumb with me i will code names you to death you fourth generation and up owning motherfucker No, the joke was that I was better at sword fighting than you.

That's not a joke, Keith. I laughed. Okay, but still, you understand that that's not... Hey guys, are you ready to do Bible Peace Theater? Yep. Yes. Where were we? Well...

I'm still here, by the way. Yes. Yes, Don, we know that... Don! Okay, hi. I'm still here. As I was saying, we left off with Elisha demonstrating his incredibly

random powers, and he's just going to do that some more now. Ooh, I hope he makes another axe head float. We should be so lucky. But this first story is about an attack from the Syrians. Servant! Servant! Come here! Yes, King of Syria. The Jews totally knew we were coming with our surprise

attack just now it's i it's what are you guys spying have you you have to tell me if you've been spying it's like being a cop no king of syria the israelites have the prophet elisha on their side and he's the one helping them out oh oh okay okay. So let's go kill that Elisha guy, right? I mean, he does appear to have God powers, sir. And literally everyone else who has tried to kill him has died. I'm feeling lucky. I think we're going to be the ones that crack this nut. You think so, sir?

Yeah, I've got a good feeling about it. Ah, yes, your majesty, of course. Elisha! Elisha, come out! We have you surrounded! Uh, God, a little help here? Maybe a blinding or something? Please? Oh my God, I'm blind! Oh, me too, sir!

We all are! Hey, how's it going? You guys need any help? Did you get blinded or something? Who are you? Oh, me? My name is Impla. Your name is Impla? Impla, yep.

That is the noise I made for my name. That's fine, that's fine. Did you just take us to Elijah? He's been sabotaging our attacks on Israel with his god powers. Oh, for sure, for sure. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just follow me. I will not lead you to Samaria.

That's a weird thing to say. Hey, who do you want to believe? Yourselves or Eba? I thought you said your name was Implot. Yep. Yes, that's my name. Also, it's... So let me get this straight.

Your name is Implot Eba? Implot Eba. Yep. Yes, it's... So let me get this straight. Your name is Impla Iba. Impla Iba, yep. Yes, it's French origin. France doesn't exist yet. Let's just get going. Almost there. Almost there. Super close to Elisha now.

And see. I can see again. Me too. Wait a second. This isn't where Elisha lives. This is Samaria. That's right, it is. You just got Elisha'd. Boom, baby. Elisha'd face. So what now? Are you going to like kill us with your god powers? Oh, uh, no. No, I wasn't planning on it. All right, then. So what do we do? Uh, have a little dinner? There's a great Thai place right around the corner. Ooh, I love Thai food.

Wait, I'm sorry. Hold on a second. You blinded us with your god powers and let us here just to eat dinner and go home? Yeah, I guess. I mean, are you lobbying for me to kill you guys? I'm confused by what's happening right now. No, no, it's fine. I'm No, it's fine. It's just odd. I'm more of a quantity, not quality type prophet. Seems like it. I suppose so.

Say, while we're here, you guys want to siege these lands? They seem nice, right? Yes, yes, of course. That sounds reasonable. Sorry, was that a yes to the Thai food? Because now I am like craving Massaman. I could do Thai. Uh, yeah, yeah, I suppose Thai is fine. Is it going to be weird if I join you guys for Thai?

Yeah. I mean, fine. Nice. Cool. Wait, is it, are you saying yes it would be? Okay. So the Syrian siege Samaria and a terrible famine came over the land as a result it was so bad that a donkey's head sold for 80 pieces of silver and a bit of dove shit cost five pieces of silver

i'm sorry what that's that's what the bible says man were people eating dove shit and famine somehow drove up the prices of it that That's what the Bible says, yeah. Okay, sorry. So just to be clear, this book has dove shit pricing complaints, but not a part where it says that rape is bad. Yes, that is correct. Okay, how much should dove shit cost? What do you think that would be? Obviously less than five pieces of silver.

Lou, Lou, Lou, I'm the king of Israel walking along the wall of Samaria. Hey, hey, fucking king of fucking Israel! Oh, oh, hello. Cecil, what are you doing here? Wait, what are you doing here? Eli told me you were hurt. Okay, to be fair, he was. Thomas made him say he was bad at codenames.

It's true, he did. Damn it, Eli, I rescheduled a work call for this, man. Yes, you did, but since you're here... Fine. Fine. Anyway, can I help you? Yeah, I need your fucking help. Uh, sure. What seems to be the problem? Well, you see, it's this fucking bitch right fucking here. Don't you fucking call me a fucking bitch, bitch. Don't fucking call you a fucking bitch if I want to call you a fucking bitch. Don't fucking start with me. You are. You are.

Anyway, yesterday I was so fucking hungry that she comes to my studio and she says to me, let's eat your fucking kid today. Here we go. So we's eat your fucking kid today. Here we go. So we can eat my fucking kid tomorrow. So we fucking boils my fucking kids and then she eats them and I eat them and then I come to her

house today to eat her fucking kid and she's hiding them like fucking Celtics tickets. Fuck you. I never say you eat my fucking baby. I never said that! Wow, that's severely messed up. Right? She should let me eat a fucking baby!

Uh, no, no. I was talking about how you like the Celtics. You wanted to see me, King of Israel? Oh, right, yes, Elisha. Um, did you bring the Syrians to Samaria? Yeah. Me and God did this whole blind Marco Polo thing on them.

It's actually pretty funny. Okay. I'm going to stop you there. It's causing a big famine. People are eating babies. Dove shit is going through the roof, apparently. Prices probably went straight up. Yeah. is going through the roof, apparently. Prices probably went straight up.

Yeah. I guess what I'm saying is, really, for the first time in the whole book, is that your god is doing a bad job, and maybe, maybe, we don't want to rely on him to fix our problems anymore. Wait, wait, wait. Come on, no.

You don't need to do that. I'll fix everything. I got this. Tomorrow, at this time, a measure of flour and two measures of barley will each cost one shekel. Guaranteed. I'm sorry, but that's actually physically impossible. Even if you just, like, filled the whole kingdom

with barley. It will be, it will be You'll see, you'll see, Mr. Skeptic. I mean, what can I say? I just finished The Grand Unified Theory of Bullshit, available now wherever fine books are sold. Huh? Huh, Cecil? I made it better. That doesn't make it better.

Um, Cecil, I liked the audiobook. Dude, who the fuck are you? Okay, Elisha. It's about the time when you said, everything should be fixed, right? Yep, yeah, just one second. Fellow Syrians, I hear horse hoots. Let's run away from the city and never come back.

At least I can reduce my prices back to where they were. See, I told you guys. Hey, whatever happened to that skeptic guy? Oh, he got trampled by the Syrians for questioning me. So, you know, that's what happens. Oh. Does your god ever do stuff that doesn't have massive death tolls? He does not so far, no.

Okay, right, got it. Hazael, most loyal servant. Yes, master, my king of Syria. Yikes. Wow, you are, um... You know what? It's fine. It's fine. Would you go to Elisha and ask him if, uh, if I'm going to get better? Bring him a gift, too, maybe?

Of course, as you wish, master. And try to talk normal when you see a... Ah, he's gone. And that's why I brought you these gifts. So, what do you say? Um, yeah, he's gonna get better. All better, absolutely. Oh, good, good, very good.

I'm sorry, he's not gonna get better. You're gonna murder him and burn the cities and rip the pregnant ladies apart because you're just like, yikes. What? No, I'm not going to do any of that. You are going to do that, man. I am not.

These pregnant ladies. Sorry, are you writing that down? Um, no. You have a pen. Ah, Hazel, you have returned. What did Elisha say? Oh, Master, he said you're going to get all better. Oh, great.

Is that a hot towel? Yes, here, let me help you with it. Smother, smother, smother, smother. Dude, can I say you're just the most predictable murderer ever? No, I'm not. Smother, smother, smother. Let's see, guy is king, guy dies, guy is king, guy dies.

Oh, here we go, here we go. The story of Jehu. I actually think it's pronounced Jew no no they're all jehu he's the the king who finally gave the uh he's gonna avenge the prophet that jezebel murdered wow that was like 400 pages ago oh i'm sorry eli is something hard to remember when it happened a couple months since you last visited it oh well maybe if you listen to dnd minus you'd be caught up oh yeah no Then I'd only be three months behind. And it takes notes. And it takes notes. Guys, guys, guys. Do you want me

to take over as Dungeon Master? Because I've got credentials. Oh, no, that's nice. Don would let me have a bonus action. I will kill all of you with a sword. He has a lot more experience, I think. Psst. Psst. Hey. Hey. Hi, Elijah. How's it going, man? Awesome. Really good. Really good. Hi, Elijah.

How's it going, man? Awesome. Really good. Really good. Listen, you got to anoint Jehu. The king? Yeah, but like as a prank. So take this box full of oil and go do that.

This feels like a bad container for oil. Okay. I was out of vases. Yes, it is. In retrospect, this is a bad container for oil. Okay, I was out of vases. Yes, it is. In retrospect, this is a bad container. And so what you got to do, you dump it on Jehu's head and tell him like, boom, you're anointed. You got to go kill Jezebel and her family and everyone that pees on a wall. That's such a bad way of saying men.

Are you going to do it or not? I don't know. Is God going to kill me if I say no? I mean, probably. Statistically. Yes. I'm in. Lou, Lou, Lou.

Do a Jehu stuff. Jehu stuff is my favorite stuff. Anointed. You're anointed now. Dude, seriously? This is a new tunic. You got to go kill Jezebel and her family now. What?

Why? I don't know, man. She killed my family or something. It's hard to follow. Unlike the adventures of D&D Minus, which people should really give a shot. Even if you're not into D&D. Thomas Smith likes it. He told me.

All right, all right, all right. Fine. I will go kill those people. Sorry, did you have that oil in a box? He was out of aces. Jehu, it is I, Joram. Why have you come to my town? Is it in peace?

Your mother's a whore and a witch. Okay, so... No, then. Right. Hey, Jezebel. Oh, hello. I killed Joram and Ahaziah. Oh, you did?

That's lame. Do you have any eunuchs up there with you? Yeah. Yeah, we do. Hey, eunuchs. You might just toss her down here. I'm doing a revenge thing. You got it.

Sure thing. Seriously, guys? This is really lame. Oh, sorry, Jezebel. But considering you're a lady in the Bible, you did pretty good. You lasted a long time. No, no, Jezebel, but considering you're a lady in the Bible, you did pretty good. You lasted a long time. No, no, that's fair.

That's fair. Ah! And then Jehu ran her over with horses until there was nothing left but her skull and her feet and her hands. Is that the end of the story? Yep. Wow. this book This book just really, really sucks Let me say that again, man

Cecil, you're still here? Yeah, I took the afternoon off work because Eli said it was an emergency Also, whoever left Thai food in the fridge I ate it It was mine, Cecil Nice Thanks, Ron It's Don.

You say so. Will this result in an epic fistfight? Will Eli create a Cecil v. Don through line that will confuse new listeners for years to come? Was that ever in any doubt? Find out the answers on the next installment of Bible Peace Theater. before the convention starts, so it's a great way to meet people you can share the con with.
