Prayer is useless.

And if you think you're a super special person that your God readjusts his perfect plan

so you can get that promotion at work while 107 people, including 37 children, died in what some call an act of God,

then we want to hear from you because the show starts now.

Music of God, then we want to hear from you because the show starts now. What's up, Heathens?

Welcome everybody.

Today is July 20th, 2025, and I am your host, goddess engineer, John Gleason.

And joining me today is Dr. Blitz.

How are you doing there, Dr. Blitz?

I am warm and uncomfortable, but otherwise great.

Yes, I too am warm and uncomfortable. Heat rises and I'm on the half, the half story of my house.

And so, like, it's pretty hot up here right now. But I'm glad that you're doing well other than, you know, being a little hot over there.

in like a normal way. All right. Well, we do have our first caller lined up. Are you ready to

just jump right on in? As ready as I'll ever be.

All right. Before we get to our first caller, I do want to specify that the atheist experience is a product of the atheist community of Austin, a 501 C3 nonprofit organization dedicated to

the promotion of atheism, critical thinking, secular humanism, and the separation of religion and government.

So with that in mind, we are going to talk to Benji, from my own state of alawishishas.

I don't know what that's supposed to mean.

Hey there, Benji, how you doing?
