0:00.0	Hey everybody! Hi guys, well from a little less smoky Salt Lake City, Utah. It's
0:23.4	thank God I'm Atheist, the podcast. I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beacher, and coming up on the show
0:30.1	today and we're going to be talking about vaccine mandates which they seem to be coming down the pike,
0:37.2	and religious exemption. Yes indeed, the Lord told me not to get vaccinated, because that's what
0:46.6	the Lord does. Yes, God. So we're going to talk about that, and what a ding dong idea that is.
0:55.4	You know what? Listen, if you're bathed in the blood of Jesus Christ, the great shielding blood,
1:03.8	the great powerful blood of Jesus Christ, I find that so weird. We Mormons, we didn't grow up with
1:10.0	that blood imagery, all that it's gruesome you guys. Really rough. What are you doing? Anyway,
1:16.8	we like to think of Jesus as a live. Yeah, we don't focus on his death, like grim, like you

2:23.3	yeah, so it's a tradition, right? To like abstain from something to give up something that you like.
2:30.4	Yeah, and so this is this is the story of a woman in Russia who was abstaining from meat products.
2:39.9	And any kind of animal product. This is something she'd been doing for 16 years. Uh-huh.
2:45.6	I guess it's a 30-day fast, not 40, or whatever. Apparently in Russia, they can, they shave off a 10-day
