Okay, here we got. Stand by. Three, two, one.

The thinking atheist, it's not a person. It's a symbol. An idea.

The population of atheists in this country is going through the room.

Rejecting faith. Pursuing knowledge. Challenging the sacred.

If I tell the truth, it's because I tell the truth.

Not because I put my hand on a book and made a wish.

And working together for a more rational world.

Take the risk of thinking for yourself.

Much more happiness, truth, beauty, and wisdom will come to you that way.

Assume nothing.

Question everything. and start thinking.

This is the Thinking Atheist podcast, hosted by Seth Andrews.

I woke up this morning.

I was driving Linus to the vet.

He had to have a teeth cleaning.

This is always stressful for Natalie and me because we lost a dog on the operating table as he was having teeth extraction years ago.

And I'll spare you at that story but

every time we have to have a dog put under for any procedure it's a thing and so I was driving

and linus in to get his teeth cleaned this morning and I just was thinking and because when I start thinking, sometimes I start speaking, and I'm like, well,

who can I speak to when that person happens to be you? Then I do a bonus release here. I do a bonus

podcast. I've done a lot of these this month. I don't know how you feel about it. Maybe you're like,

Dear God, I like the once a week shows.
