0:00.0	Warning, the following podcast contains the fuck out of some profanity.
0:04.1	This week's episode of The Skathing Atheist is brought to you by BetterHelp, AuraFraim's,
0:09.5	and by the upcoming sequel where everyone's favorite rascally golden retriever gets ordained,
0:15.2	Prayer Bud.
0:16.6	Prayer Bud!
0:18.0	At least you only have to worry about him humping your kids' legs.
0:20.8	And now, the scathing atheist.
0:23.3	Hello, I'm Kranot, creator of the horror setting The Beast.
0:28.7	And in The Beast, the Abrahamic God may be real and be the one who made humans to torture for fun.
0:35.4	But we all know that in reality, we all evolved from filthy monkey men and women. I'm Oh, It's Thursday.
1:05.5	It's December 4th.
1:07.4	And it's extraordinary work team recognition day.
1:29.1	Sorry, mediocre work teams. You'll have to wait for your own day. Right? I'm no illusions. I'm Eli Bosnick. I'm Keithanwright.

1:36.7	And Lydia and Thomas Smith will be here to hook us up with some of that West Coast vulgarity.
1:41.5	But first, the diatri.
1:43.0	The Dieter.
1:53.4	I counted the gods again last week.
1:55.4	It's still zero.
1:59.8	Now, I will admit I tend to be really bad at finding shit.
2:23.2	Sometimes I'll tell my wife that we're out of butter, and then she'll come over to the fridge and she'll move two things and boom, there's the butter. Even though I could have sworn, I just looked there. So I guess it's possible that there's one god hiding deep behind the mayonnaise and the doggie box from the Korean barbecue the other night, but I'm pretty sure there isn't. Anyway, I will double check with Lucinda over the weekend, and I'll report back to you if she finds anything. And on that note, I guess we can cue the music and wrap up this week's
2:27.5	episode, huh? No? Because that'd be a fucking idiotic waste of your fucking time if I literally just showed up once a week to remind you how many gods there aren't?
