You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to episode 106 of Atheistically Speaking with your host Thomas Smith.

Okay, well a couple things I want to talk about and then we have a great patron of the week interview. So let's see.

Tying up a loose end, there's something I really meant to talk about with the

Charlie Abough stuff.

I got a number of comments, I'd say at least two,

I mean, they should put their, you know, life on the line. They should do their job, essentially.

A couple of people say that. Like, someone even said it's infantile to praise them for doing something they're supposed to do anyway.

And I got to say, I just, I don't even know where that, like I can't even relate to that thinking at all.

I it's the first time in this whole experience

where I've really wondered like what what is going on with these comments? I mean, no offense to my

commenters. There are people, I think both of them might have been people who

comment a lot. I really don't understand where that comes from because am I really to believe that let's say an atheist

was cop was killed in the line of duty protecting I don't know what it like
