You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and one one episode 101 of atheistically speaking with your host

Thomas Smith. Okay well you were going to be hearing the parent panel, that was what was going to happen, but you may have heard

some stuff on the news about the parenting panel, no, not about the parent, no, about the

attacks in Paris.

I'm sure I don't have to give you the details by now.

I mean, if you listen to my podcast, you...

I'm sure you have some idea what's going on.

Very, very broad strokes.

As three or as many...

Well, three main suspects, but as many as I think like five possible people who are involved in the shooting.

Charley-Ebdo. shooting. Anyway, it's widely believed and quite well documented that the murders, the mass shooting, as it were,

was in response to cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad and making fun of Islam.

So on one hand we have cartoons, drawings, squiggles on a page,

colors, you know, that sort of thing, pretty threatening.

And on the other hand, we have, you know,

bullets and guns and murder and all that so some asymmetry there it's

really sad that that's that's what happens I mean there's, there's no possible cartoon anyone could draw ever that would get me to even

probably punch a guy. I don't even think I would do that. So it's going to be interesting to kind of look at what's going on here.

Now, there's a lot to talk about with this. I've been reading for a few hours here just trying to see I don't know I just

absorb all this different stuff and I end up with just a mass of things I want to talk about and then I end up going, this has happened

before, I end up talking about one or two or three of the things.

So I just don't want anyone to think that I'm omitting something on purpose or trying not to make a certain point or whatever.
