You're listening to, atheistically speaking. Oh, Hello and welcome to atheististically speaking. This is episode 182.

I'm your host Thomas Smith.

All right, well, as I referenced on Tuesday, I accidentally skipped a month of portable atheist. I like to cover you know one of these

a month very minor part of the show however I did skip a month so I'm doing two this

week and since the Carl Marx one barely However, I did skip a month so I'm doing two this week,

and since the Carl Marx one barely counted.

Oh, quick note on that.

I did get several messages of support on my Carl Marx analysis, including one that went pretty deep into it, so I appreciate that

from you guys.

I can't believe I forgot to mention this.

One of my favorite underrated comedies is mystery men for anyone who's seen that.

And there's a part in the movie where there's this kind of guru guy who's training everybody up on how to be a better

superhero and he keeps using all these sentences where he reverses the words and at

one point he says like if you cannot learn to master your rage

Ben Stiller says then my rage will become my master. It's what you're going to say right?

And that is exactly how Carl Marx was for me. Almost every phrase was that. It was like the master of the something,

but then he reverses the words and like that's, that was everything he did. So someone sent me a message

reminding me of that, not of Mystery Men.

I'm the only one in the world who would link it to Mystery Men.

Unless somehow that was the original Mystery Men writer's intent to link it to Carl Marx.

I don't know, but anyway, thanks for those messages.

I have to say one of my philosophies in life is to be like the little kid in the Emperor's new clothes.
