Before we get to my interview with comedian, poet, and author, Bucky Sinister,

here's a track from his new CD called What Happens in Narnia Stays in Narnia.

I got to say one more thing about being an atheist in this society.

And then stop making me feel sorry for you.

Oh, it's so hard to believe we got it so hard.

OK, there's one little thing you can do.

It is actually kind of fun.

You try to get people to stop saying God bless you when he sneeze.

Like just try that and it seems like a little thing, but people freak out.

Like, you know, like I did this at work before.

And like, it's, I mean, everybody just kind of lost it.

Yeah, you know, God bless you.

Like, oh, don't do that.

I'm an atheist.

I don't want you to sing.
