Hey everybody, hi guys, well from truly gorgeous Salt Lake City, Utah.

It's Thank God I'm Atheist, the podcast, I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beacher.

And coming up on the show today, Dan, one of our own, gets the, he gets, he gets, the

cancel treatment, like what's what's going on here anyway Richard Dawkins, we need to talk

about Richard's story, but we're going to talk about it, and yeah, he's, he's being

not much about canceling, but we need, we definitely need to talk, you and I have been

saying for about a decade now that someone needs to take away his Twitter, but he has,

once again proven why, who did he ever, all right, and yeah, we're going to be talking

about that.

Dan, yes, I'm going to tell you a story, and you're going to swear I'm talking about

Alabama, okay, but I'm not, I'm talking about Bavaria, the Alabama of Germany.

I did not know this, I thought it was just all beer and sausages, it's, it's girls in

journals and, and, and hate, I don't know, anyway, they're, the, the, the state minister

president, what a great title that is, minister president, I feel like that's two titles that

got motion together, but okay, fine, Marcus Soder has announced that crosses must hang

in all state government buildings, yeah, okay, and the, this, this, this move is, is,

is out of a commitment to Bavarian identity and culture, oh, perfect, great, yeah, um,

he says that this, the cross, it's not a sign of religion, this is not a violation of

the principle of neutrality, right, oh, good, he says that, uh, yeah, the, the, the cross

is, it's just part of their culture, it's, it's part of their Bavarian cultural imprint

and identity.

Uh huh.
