Hey, everybody! Hi, guys! Well, from torrentially reigning and then filling back up with Smoke's Salt Lake City, Utah.

Thank God I'm Atheus, a podcast. I'm Frank Feldman, and I'm Dan Beacher, and coming up on the show today, Dan, a new wrinkle in the Mormon skis has started to form.

Honestly, we talk about the Mormons a lot. We recently got a complaint about it, but most people seem to really like really when we talk about Mormons, yeah.

Oh, okay. But that's okay. You sculpt with the clay that you have. Yeah, exactly.

As the saying goes, the Mormon Church is a fascinating microcosm of what's happening in churches around the country and probably around the world.

Things shit's going whack-a-do. Yeah, whack-a-do. Yeah, COVID has exposed some problems in our society, and that includes inside the churches too.

Yep. All very, very interesting stuff. Speaking of COVID-19, Dan, and a small amount of shodden for right now, you can have as much as you want.

A cardinal, a Catholic cardinal by the name of Raymond Burke. Oh, yeah, we've talked about him before.

Yeah. He's he's fell to the COVID-19 everybody, and he was a great denier of like vaccines and whatnot, and actually said some pretty.

I have some things here that he said about vaccines. He was a conspiracy guy, totally.

He lived in like the whole like microchip nonsense. Oh, my God. He's a QAnon. Yeah.

Padre. He says that this microchip that allows citizens to quote, be controlled by the state regarding health.

Oh, no, no, no. So the two right, okay, that if you let the microchip be injected into you, and that if the government can just say that they're going to do it, then that allows citizens to be controlled by the state regarding health about other matters, which can only one we can only imagine.

And then he added, it is never morally justified to develop a vaccine through the use of cell lines of aborted fetuses, and saying that the state is not the ultimate provider of health.

God is. Yeah, he has been just a peach about this whole thing. He's been an anti-vaxer the whole time. He's been a God will save you, but but the vaccine won't.

He's, he's the guy who was leading the charge to deny Joe Biden communion. Oh, yeah, because he, because he's okay with abortion, because he's fine with abortion rights.

I got to say like a crazed anti abortion not ball like this shouldn't be talking about like everything he wants in the world is for the government to control the healthcare of women.

He doesn't get to start talking about like don't let government control your healthcare when it comes to a vaccine that will save countless thousands or millions of lives.

Right, but this would be a microchip inside you that is controlling your healthcare from within by the government. Yeah, I call my God. It's a level.

Yeah, but I never, I never could have imagined what are these people think this like sci-fi down? It almost you'd almost think it like what the fuck do you think this microchip could do?

Well, I want to know what they think the tech could do because I happen to know some about where the tech is. I don't know like the bleeding edge stuff.

Right, right. But none of it is injectable microchips that can affect a living organism. Right. There's not that's not there. No, that doesn't exist remote control people.
