Talking to a friend of mine is a younger guy about God, and he's learning.

He said he had a conversation with a friend of his at work yesterday about God.

And this guy's like, I don't believe if there is a God, we die, that's it.

And my friend's take was, again, he's kind of looking at all this.

Like, I can look at a tree and I know God's good.

Like, you're right. I told him. Like, that's brilliant. It's so true.

Everything doesn't have to be this beautiful.

That's true.

And it is. Even at the cellular level or at the galactic level, it does not have to be this beautiful. The green doesn't have to be that green. The flowers don't have to be that pretty. Music doesn't have to be this good. And it's a huge, huge leap of faith to say that it just kind of all happened that way. I believe it. And I think you can tell that God is good, too. not just that there is a God, but that he's good, because he didn't have to do all that. Create that kind of beauty. You seriously going to stand and look out over? I don't know. He's better than he has to be. It even says in Romans you can tell what he's like based on what he made. So I'm like, man, you're on to something. A lot of people like to dress their dog up. Uh-huh. Are you going to do that with cozy? Might. Okay. I might. Because this is our policy if we need to the show. You're like, how do you? Some people are like, oh, you shouldn't do that. The dog doesn't like it. It sounds terrible.

I don't care.

Because... Your point is they owe it to the owners.

Yes, yeah.

That's kind of our policies.
