Timothy, chapter 2, verse 11, let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness.

I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man.

Rather, she is to remain quiet.

For Adam was formed first, then Eve.

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

Yet she shall be saved through childbearing

if they continue in faith and love and holiness with self-control. Gross. Real, real gross.

Hey, if you think that this is the good book, you should give us a call because the show's starting

right now.

Welcome to Talk, Ethan. Today is May 28th in the year of our Lord, 2020. I'm your host, Forrest Valkai, and I'm joined today for the very first time by Sophia. How are you doing today?

Hi, I'm doing all right. I'm nervous and excited to be here. Yeah. It's an exciting show. It's a great time for everybody.

Hey, really quick, I got to let you guys know that Talk Heathen is a product of the atheist community of Austin, which is a 501C3 nonprofit organization, a dedicated to the promotion of atheism, critical thinking, secular humanism, and the separation of church and government.

Talk Heathen is a live call-in show, and we have open lines. You can get your calls in using the number at the bottom of the screen right now or from your computer at tiny.cc slash call TH. Call-T-H. And with that, we already have callers on the line, but like I would love to give Sophia a chance just, you know, introduce yourself briefly.

Tell us a little bit about who you are. Is that okay?

Yeah. I am Sophia Spina, and I am somewhat of a baby atheist in some ways.

I'm newer to this whole thing, but I'm really excited to be here.

I love learning. I love logic, and I am sort of a fan girl for us Valakai. Don't tell him. But yeah. So it's nerve-wracking and exciting. And I'm so excited to hear what people have to say. Yeah, it's going to be a great show. And I also want to thank very quickly. We are live in studio today. And I'm super stoked about that. I rarely get to be all the way down here in Austin, but because I'm here, I want to take a time to shout out like the real cool people here, and that's the audience, which are right out there. Look at them. Aren't they wonderful? I like that one the most. That one over there is my favorite. You know the one. If you're ever in the Austin area and you want to come see us, we're live in studio, I believe, the last Sunday of every month. So come see us here. It's a pretty cool place to be. It's a small little area, so parking is just kind of wherever you can find a legal spot, hopefully. But the Free Thought Library is an awesome resource for anybody in the Austin area who wants to learn a little bit more about atheism, free thinking, whatever, or wants to watch one of our ridiculous shows. So come on down and have some fun with us. And with that, if it's a cool with you, I'm going to jump right into calls, yeah? Yeah. Do we do the question of the week real quick first? Oh, yeah, we do have a job to do as well. Just moving right on in.

This is why they don't have me down. Okay. Yeah, do you want to go through it really quick? Because I, oh man, yeah, you do that. Okay. You do the thing. And I'm bad at. All right. So, before we get started, we want to give you the results of last week's Talk heathen to me, which is just

the sexiest name I can think of.

Last week, we want to give you the results of last week's Talk Heathen to me, which is just

the sexiest name I can think of. Last week, we asked you, if God favors humans, why are they so

blank? And so here are the top three responses. Number three is from Mark Allen, and it says,
