Oh, this smells good Mmm Oh Demons be gone Be gone demons Be gone Leave this studio Leave this planet Leave our universe Leave, this is legit sage from a Native American woman Wow So we're purifying this room Wonderful Oh Oh My neighbor Oh My neighbor Oh Please God bless this room and Odin too just in case they were wrong that's ours They abandoned Odin he was around first, you know You got to think all the gods that everybody believed in and they're like, I'm not so sure about Thor Yeah, then they let him go. What if Thor was legit? Right, and he's still out there just like somebody who's been out of Fame as a god. Yeah, he's like don't you fucker see the lightning? Yeah, that's me throwing bolts He's like one of those guys and you go to Vegas and you see one of those billboards for a strange casino You're like, oh that guy. Yeah Tony Orlando and dawn. I Remember them Thor's at the Mirage Was doing a residency you motherfuckers check out the thunder That's actually caused by atmospheric conditions. No, you fucks doors on cameo make that Imagine Who had a real someone had a really good point about that some some atheist was arguing against religions It might have been Sam Harris probably with Sam Harris. It might have been Richard Dawkins, but he basically said There's 99 Different gods that people who believe in the Christian God don't believe it and he goes atheist. Just take it one step further They just came in Which is one got away That's what he was saying That's cool. Yeah, there's I get confused with being an atheist all the time. I don't I do not believe I'm an atheist I I believe I am I'm open to everything person. I don't believe stories about people coming back from the dead And I don't because they're written by people Right. Yeah, man I mean that's right and also they're supposed to function on more than the surface level They're supposed to be a kind of fractal that has inside of it a lot of like symbols related to just human existence Yes, not they're not meant to be so much like taken literally that's where you that's when you embarrass yourself on either side Exactly on either side of you. That's a really good point It's in the translations apparently are so difficult to do Yeah, apparently the trailer especially Old Testament when they translated the Old Testament they had to translate it and think of all the different languages that had to go through it was Latin and Greek and German and English and all these different languages that are so different Like if you ever use the the translate button like I follow a lot of Russian fighters and they you know and their Instagram feed they write in Russian and I'm always like Oh translate It's a really cool feature you could but you can tell it's not exactly what they meant Because it's all fucked up because their language is different right like the way they structure sentences Yeah, so English doesn't just plug and play right, you know It's like sticking a USB 3 into a USB a like hey, this doesn't really fit right now add time Add thousands of years and scrolls and like things one of things changed. Yeah, the King James version Right, it's the best. That's my favorite one to read on acid. That's the one King James book of John baby hit that on acid. It's so wonderful. It's so trippy because it's like that's when I really like Christianity clicked for me regardless of its Whether it's real or not, but that's why I was like, okay I get this because the book of John when you read it, you're like, well someone wrote it I don't know who wrote it and whoever fucking wrote this Their mind was blown man. Like this wasn't written by someone who was just like a normal person This is a person who was freaking out in the most intense way and so to me that's what I love about it is it's like something about The how old it is and the distortions the historical distortions the warping of it Produce this kind of awesome glitched out Mosaic of if nothing else human consciousness five thousand years ago where our minds were that's trippy by itself regardless of whether or not a Person who could like graze the dead and walk on water was walking about just holy shit. Here's how people thought back. Yes Yes, yeah, I mean all the stuff that you can't prove you don't know that's interesting. It's weird It's weird that where those stories came from and why they're so universal like someone has to everyone has like a creator Everyone has like a main dude that did the thing and you know There's some other people that have like large groups of gods like the Greeks had gods for everything The Indian native a lot of Native Americans had gods for everything. Sure. Yeah. Yeah You
