This week on the God Pod. These statistics

0:03

are hard for me to understand because I'm

0:05

about as dumb as an American. Do

0:07

you think you are better

0:10

or worse at math than

0:12

the average Louisiana and eighth

0:14

grader? Probably worse at

0:16

math, better at verbal. On

0:20

the one hand, he could win and

0:22

that would suck. On the other hand, he

0:25

could lose again. Oh, and that would be

0:27

the best thing ever. That would be so

0:29

funny. I don't know, he might lose again,

0:31

Jesus, because a lot of those

0:34

Nikki Haley voters have said they're not voting

0:36

for him. What

0:39

is your middle name anyway? Habanet. Habanet.

0:42

Habanet Hussein? Yeah.

0:44

There's so many good options. There's so many

0:46

good options. Hussein's a good one because that'll trigger

0:48

the right. That was a good one during the

0:50

Obama years. That was my favorite

0:52

answer during the Obama years because I could

0:55

just be like Hussein and they'd just be

0:57

like... Welcome

1:14

to the God Pod, where

1:16

divine humor meets earthly absurdities.

1:19

I'm your host, God. Here

1:21

with me today is my trusty

1:24

sidekick, Jesus. Today we're

1:26

diving into Louisiana's brilliant idea

1:28

to mandate the Ten Commandments

1:30

in classrooms. Spoiler

1:32

alert, it's not going to save

1:35

any souls. That's right, Dad. If

1:37

only they spent this much effort on things like, oh,

1:40

I don't know, actual education

1:42

or reducing crime rates.

1:44

But hey, hey, who needs a

1:46

good education when you can just

1:48

memorize, thou shalt not covet. Oh,

1:52

exactly so. Buckle

1:54

up, folks, because we're about to

1:56

break down why this whole mandate

1:58

is more ridiculous. Then Moses wandering

2:01

the desert for 40 years. That

2:04

was ridiculous. Why did I let him do that? I

2:06

think you were enjoying it. It was like, oh, this

2:09

is funny. How long is this going to go on

2:11

for? Honestly, it was so much

2:13

fun chilling with Moses in the desert. Was

2:15

it? I didn't want it to end. Aww. I

2:17

didn't want it to end. It's a good friend bonding moment.

2:19

It really should be turned into a movie. Like

2:22

one of those best friend adventure

2:24

movies, like road trip movies. Yeah. Maybe

2:26

they could get like Seth Rogan and

2:28

Michael Cera. Oh, yeah. To be, wait,

2:30

no. Who

2:32

would be God and who would be Moses? I

2:34

think Seth Rogan would be

2:37

God because he's like top dog in that

2:39

friendship. Yeah. He sounds like me. Yeah. He

2:43

stole my accent and

2:45

then Moses went, I will figure it out. Either way, it's a good

2:47

one. It's a good one.

2:49

Oh, by the way, on the last episode,

2:52

I said here with me today is my right hand man,

2:54

Jesus. I've said that on a couple of episodes. Yeah. And

2:57

several astute viewers pointed out,

2:59

Jesus, that you're actually not

3:01

sitting on my right side. Oh,

3:04

awkward. Well, it's a

3:07

little more, it's symbolic. It's symbolic. It's

3:09

not. Yeah. You're my left.

3:12

Actually, I like this better. You're my left hand man. But

3:14

I'm a righty. But you're such

3:17

a leftist. Oh, yeah. That is

3:19

a good point. All right. It

3:21

works then. It works. Yeah.

3:23

Okay. Well, let's dive

3:26

into this Ten Commandments thing, Jesus.

3:30

The Ten Commandments now to be

3:33

displayed in every school in Louisiana.

3:37

Ugh. Of all the places for

3:39

this to happen, could there be

3:41

any place more cringe and embarrassing? I know.

3:45

Than Louisiana. Did

3:49

you see my new article today, Jesus? I did.

3:52

I did review the article. I mean,

3:54

this is right up your alley here. What did

3:56

you announce to the humans? I,

3:59

well, I... announced that I'm suing

4:01

the state of Louisiana. Nice.

4:03

Yeah. And this is

4:05

not satirical. You really are going to sue them.

4:10

Yeah, it's ridiculous. I feel like

4:12

I may be entitled to compensation.

4:16

These pricks are stealing my greatest hits and

4:19

using it like it's their own, putting it

4:21

up everywhere. Have I am I getting a

4:23

cut of that? Am I getting anything? Does

4:25

it have a does it have a list?

4:27

I've purchased my URL for, you

4:29

know, for the God podcast.com.

4:32

Even God. Oh, you

4:34

know what you should do? You should license it. You

4:37

should have set up a licensing deal long

4:39

ago. But now I guess the

4:42

Ten Commandments are in public domain so

4:44

people can just do whatever they want

4:46

with that. It's been it's been a

4:48

long time. You

4:50

know. It's been thousands

4:52

of years, Jesus. It's been thousands of

4:54

years. It's public domain. I

4:57

like Steamboat Willie now. So,

5:01

yeah, me. Ah, hmm. It's

5:04

really too bad. You bring up a good point. It's really

5:06

too bad that the Ten Commandments couldn't

5:08

at least be displayed with

5:10

the God podcast.com on them or like

5:12

a link to your newsletter for more

5:15

from you. Because

5:17

let's say a student is sitting in

5:19

the classroom and they're like, oh, wow,

5:21

I'm so moved by these Ten Commandments.

5:24

I want to know more. I want to learn more.

5:26

I want to see does God is God still really

5:29

like that? Does he still, you know,

5:31

get down with those commandments? Yeah,

5:33

exactly. I, you know, I, you

5:35

know, I do. There's

5:38

some there's some still some good ones on

5:40

there. There's honestly room for improvement. There's a

5:42

lot on there that weren't on there that

5:44

should be on there. Of

5:46

course. Okay. Which I didn't think needed to

5:48

be said. And

5:51

there are some on there that didn't need to be said. That

5:54

got said, and then there's some that are

5:56

kind of a bit redundant. And then there's

5:59

obviously some. that I would just remove like

6:01

that whole don't make

6:03

fun of me thing. Yeah, I've

6:05

grown. I've grown since

6:07

then. You

6:10

know, it's funny. What? You

6:12

know, it's funny. Like these teachers have to look

6:14

at these 10 commandments now and

6:16

they surely violate at

6:20

least half of them like

6:22

we do this. The

6:24

teachers in the school. Yeah.

6:26

Oh, well, it doesn't. Doesn't

6:28

every American. Well, yeah,

6:30

yeah, fair enough. But they have to

6:33

act like, oh, these 10 commandments. We

6:35

abide by these, y'all. That's why we're

6:37

displaying them here in the classroom. Oh,

6:39

yeah. Well, I was the first person

6:42

to jump online and make that statement.

6:44

Jesus, the first and

6:46

I have time stamped proof. Really?

6:49

Yeah. I jumped

6:51

out immediately. My first thought was that

6:54

I got let me see on threads. I have

6:56

eight thousand likes. That's pretty

6:59

good for threads, wouldn't you say? On

7:01

a single post? Yeah. Wow. You

7:03

went viral on threads, I would say. Nice job.

7:05

So let's hear it. Oh, yeah, it happens to

7:07

me all the time because I'm dope, Jesus. Thou

7:10

shalt not require classrooms to display

7:12

the 10 commandments when

7:14

you don't pay attention to any of them

7:16

anyway. Amen. OK,

7:19

it's not just Donald Trump. It's

7:22

the entire Republican Party. It's

7:26

the entire state of Louisiana.

7:29

OK, there. Just

7:31

look at their statistics. OK,

7:35

it's not. The

7:37

10 commandments are not going to save you,

7:39

Louisiana. What's there's

7:41

just so much. First of all, there's

7:44

tons of history, Jesus, and

7:46

precedent in the

7:49

United States of separation of church

7:51

and state. OK. Yes.

7:55

First Amendment to the Constitution prohibits

7:57

the establishment of religion. Thomas

7:59

Jefferson. Wall of Separation Letter to

8:01

the Danbury Baptists. Key

8:04

Supreme Court cases, Stone versus Graham

8:08

1980. Supreme Court ruled that a Kentucky law

8:10

requiring the posting of the Ten Commandments in

8:13

public school classrooms was

8:16

unconstitutional. Well, I did

8:19

see that the ACLU is going to

8:21

be suing the state of Louisiana. So

8:23

maybe this is going to be reversed.

8:26

I think clearly there's some legal

8:28

standing legal grounds in the

8:30

2005 Jesus, a court ruled

8:32

that displaying the Ten Commandments and courthouses

8:34

violated the establishment clause. So yeah, this

8:37

is going to be challenged. This is

8:39

going to be challenged for sure. And

8:41

let's not forget that I have my

8:43

lawsuit going. I sent

8:45

them a cease and desist letter. Okay.

8:49

And I they're using this as intellectual

8:51

property theft, but

8:53

honestly, and it's, it's egregious. It's

8:57

egregious. Like

8:59

this is, this is more offensive

9:01

than Donald Trump playing YMCA at

9:03

Israelis. Oh

9:06

man. This is more offensive than hardcore

9:08

porn. Well, I don't

9:10

know if I'd go that far. What

9:13

is the difference between hardcore and soft

9:16

core? Right. Right. I don't know

9:18

what the law for. I think is more

9:20

like sensual. Let

9:22

me type. Okay. Later

9:25

after the show. Okay.

9:28

Uh, in the current events, governor

9:30

John Bell Edwards signed the bill

9:33

requiring the display of the Ten

9:35

Commandments in every classroom starting the

9:37

next school year. This is expected

9:39

to face legal challenges from civil

9:41

liberties organizations. As it

9:43

already is. She said, would you, would

9:45

you read off to me some of

9:48

the education statistics for Louisiana? I

9:50

would love to. And I think this

9:52

is going to remind us why they

9:54

have their priorities out of order. So

9:57

Louisiana ranks 48th in

9:59

education. in the United

10:01

States. 48th.

10:06

Me damn. The high school graduation rate

10:08

is 81%. 81%,

10:14

that's below the national average of 85%. And

10:17

this is according to the National Center for

10:19

Education statistics. Now

10:21

only 20, yeah. Now

10:25

only 28% of Louisiana eighth graders

10:27

are proficient in math compared

10:29

to the national average of 34%. I

10:33

got a, you know, I got a- Compared to

10:35

the national average is like, it's

10:39

hard. I mean, that means there's a lot of states that are

10:41

fucked up. Yeah, and

10:43

look, I mean, I've never been good at

10:45

math either. No, me either, honestly, there's nothing

10:47

I hate more than hard math. But

10:51

this is, I think the big one

10:53

that stands out here is 48th in

10:56

education in the US. That's a statistic, you

10:58

know, where do they rank against

11:01

the other 50? They're almost

11:03

dead last. I'm sure behind them is

11:05

like Alabama,

11:09

West Virginia, whatever some state that's

11:11

near them. Also Jesus, what

11:14

are the crime rates like

11:16

in Republican Louisiana? Well,

11:18

here's the shocker. That's

11:20

sarcasm. Louisiana has one of the highest crime

11:22

rates in the US with a violent crime

11:25

rate of 5.7 per 1000 people, compared

11:29

to the national average of 3.7 per 1000. And

11:33

that's according to the FBI. Property crime rate

11:35

in Louisiana is 32.7 per 1000 people, compared

11:40

to the national average of 22 per 1000. Again,

11:44

according to the FBI. So- Of

11:47

course, if you know, a Republican

11:49

heard this, they'd be like, yeah,

11:51

because of New Orleans and that's

11:53

liberals and blah, blah, blah, blah,

11:55

blah. But you've had Republican

11:57

state houses and governors there. forever

12:02

okay so spare me your

12:05

bullshit all right and

12:07

now you're putting 10 commandments you

12:09

have it you have so much control you

12:11

can put the 10 commandments in schools and

12:15

these are the results not

12:18

but you know if only

12:20

facts and statistics matter Jesus no

12:23

of course they don't if only

12:25

they put their priorities in the

12:27

right order to let's see oh

12:29

yeah go there's so much corruption

12:31

in the state to Louisiana ranks

12:33

fifth in public corruption convictions per

12:35

capita and that's a ranking where

12:37

if you're near near in the

12:40

top ten that's worse see not

12:42

bad sometimes I'm so bad at

12:44

math sometimes these rank

12:47

it's like if

12:49

you're 48 out of 50 that's

12:52

bad here if

12:54

you're number five that's bad these

12:56

statistics are hard for me to understand because

12:58

I'm about as dumb as an American yeah

13:02

do you think you are

13:04

better or worse at math

13:07

than the average Louisiana and

13:09

eighth-grader probably

13:12

worse at math better and verbal yeah

13:15

and it's not these kids fault of

13:17

course no this is the

13:19

great way in the kids no

13:22

is that that's the most horrible thing is

13:24

that these kids are being denied an education

13:27

and if you don't have an

13:30

education you know that

13:32

affects your whole life it really does

13:34

yeah we'll be right back

13:36

after these messages Douglas

13:39

is one of many who found a new

13:41

life through Seattle's Union gospel mission I was

13:43

living on the streets when I heard this

13:46

guy talk about how he got clean and

13:48

sober at the mission so I decided to

13:50

give it a try I could feel something

13:52

working inside of me and I knew I

13:55

was getting better today my number one goal

13:57

is to stay clean and sober And

14:00

grace will lead me

14:02

home. To hear more,

14:05

volunteer or donate, visit

14:07

ugm.org. Hey

14:10

Billy, why don't we tell him what

14:12

it'll be about, man? So we're here

14:14

to welcome you to the Madhouse Chronicles.

14:16

It's a talk show with myself, Billy

14:18

Morrison. And me, Ozzy Oz. This man,

14:20

Prince of Darkness, and we watch and

14:22

react to the maddest internet clips. What

14:24

do we discuss, Ozzy? Drugs, rock and

14:26

roll, aliens, all that kind of shit.

14:28

Come and join Ozzy and myself. Visit

14:30

osmemediahouse.com to get special access to... Come

14:34

on! What do you say, do you think it's the wildest

14:36

show on the internet? Oh, ha ha ha ha ha ha

14:38

ha ha. So

14:41

yeah, Louisiana's fifth in public corruption. So

14:45

it is really funny because they are going to be

14:47

posting these 10 commandments in each

14:49

classroom. For

14:52

example, the commandment thou shalt not steal is

14:55

the true truth. The commandment thou shalt

14:58

not steal, that's a

15:00

rich one to be posted in Louisiana

15:02

because Louisiana has a higher than average

15:04

property crime rate. Ooh. Maybe

15:07

this is how they're teaching kids. This

15:09

is the solution. We rank

15:12

so low in the

15:14

US education system compared

15:17

to other states. How are

15:19

we gonna fix this? Oh, I guess we'll

15:21

just post the 10 commandments and that'll teach

15:23

people. Oh, it is

15:25

honestly so

15:28

stupid. The

15:30

idea that this is gonna like, oh,

15:33

now you got a big win. Do you

15:35

think anybody is gonna even read this shit?

15:37

Do you think it's right? They're like, well,

15:39

if it changes one life, if

15:42

it changes one life, it was worth it. If

15:45

it brings one more person back into the

15:47

fold, it was worth it.

15:50

Hey. Hey. Please

15:53

spare me. Give me a

15:55

break. Okay. Those

15:57

kids, they're on their phones. class,

16:01

they're looking at YouTube, they're

16:04

looking at the skibbity-doo toilets on YouTube,

16:06

they're looking at TikTok as long as

16:08

they can, they're not reading your t-

16:10

and by the way this is all

16:13

just assuming that the

16:15

average kid hasn't heard of the

16:17

Ten Commandments. Every

16:21

kid has surely heard of the Ten

16:23

Commandments. It's like learning about Santa Claus.

16:25

You learn that God is angry and

16:28

he'll punish you. He's got

16:30

these ten rules. It's

16:32

one of the first things they got to teach you as

16:34

a kid. Don't piss

16:37

off God, he'll smite you. Right?

16:41

That's right. Don't you forget it. That's

16:43

what they told you, right Jesus? And

16:47

I learned the hard way, that was true. Ouch.

16:49

But you know it's not

16:52

even like Louisiana's are that

16:54

religious. Only 26% of

16:57

adults in Louisiana attend church weekly. So

17:00

good for them. But

17:04

you know, the

17:06

Republicans will be like, yeah, that's why we're doing this. We're

17:10

gonna change everything by putting a little

17:12

poster. We're gonna hand out... Their solution

17:14

is to hand out some flyers. I

17:17

mean, and the kids will look at

17:19

them once and be like,

17:21

okay, that's just another thing hanging in

17:24

the classroom. Just like all

17:26

those inspirational posters in the classroom.

17:28

Do those inspire the kids every

17:31

day? No. They read them once and was

17:33

like, huh. And then

17:35

they moved on. And here's what's gonna happen. It's

17:37

gonna become a prime target

17:39

for graffiti and like drawing

17:42

dongs. I feel like the kids have been conditioned to

17:44

think that if they were to do such a thing,

17:46

it would send them straight. They would be sent straight

17:49

to hell. Some of them.

17:51

But I mean, once

17:53

you get the middle school and high

17:55

school, all bets are off, Jesus. You

17:57

know that. That's true.

18:00

little prank. Yeah, I mean,

18:02

you're an atheist kid. You're an

18:04

atheist kid in Louisiana. What could be

18:06

sweeter? What

18:08

could be sweeter than fucking with that thing? Maybe

18:12

you for your newsletter should come up

18:14

with like an updated list of the

18:16

10 commandments that should be posted in

18:18

Louisiana schools. Yeah, I sorry

18:20

to give you work to do, but just a

18:23

thought. Well, I've

18:25

already done a post on the article. I mean, I've

18:27

already done a post on the subject and

18:29

a podcast. So, you know, after that,

18:31

I pretty much wiped my hands, clean

18:34

the situation. Okay. I've

18:37

got a lawsuit going. I

18:39

can't wait to see how that goes.

18:41

The ACLU is also suing them. We've

18:43

got good minds on the case, Jesus.

18:46

We sure do. But

18:48

yeah, an updated list of commandments is

18:50

good. You know, you know, what's

18:53

definitely going to happen is the satanic

18:55

temple is going to be like, uh,

18:59

don't forget to post our

19:01

10 commandments. Aren't

19:07

they funny? They're like, yeah. It's

19:11

like a satire article became a church.

19:15

Okay. Uh, they, and they, when

19:19

we interviewed them, they denied that vociferously.

19:23

This is not a joke. This

19:26

is an actual religion, which

19:28

they have to say for legal reasons.

19:30

Anyway, uh, it's,

19:32

uh, it's absolutely ridiculous. Jesus. It's

19:37

ridiculous. And you

19:39

know, the hypocrisy is

19:43

just insane. By the way, okay. Well, we were

19:45

done talking about that. Let's just hang out and

19:47

talk to some of you. Jesus. I appreciated while

19:50

editing the last episode,

19:52

you know, sometimes I get really

19:54

like mopey and depressed. Oh

19:56

yeah. So I was like, did you

19:59

see in inside out? too. Yeah. And

20:01

you were like, uh,

20:03

have you heard about Dr. Pepper? I'm glad

20:06

you appreciated that. Yes.

20:09

I do try to insert some, uh,

20:11

honestly, you know, being forced to edit

20:13

the video. It's like, it's

20:16

good because it gives me some more

20:18

time for self-reflection. Yeah.

20:20

You know, you get a lot of that

20:22

because you've been editing the podcast this whole

20:24

time. Exactly. This is how it works, Jesus

20:28

here, he edits

20:31

the audio version and

20:33

has for years. He's an audio

20:35

carpenter. That's right. Me,

20:38

I, uh, the Lord

20:40

thy God, I edit the, uh, the

20:42

video version for you. That's

20:45

why the video version sucks. No,

20:47

you do a great job. I

20:50

mean, I, I have to add like some music,

20:52

some more music to the beginning and the end, but

20:55

people don't really go for a long intro

20:57

or outro sequences anymore. No,

21:00

you gotta be quick.

21:03

Yeah. The tick tock culture demands it. Yeah.

21:05

Yeah. You're like, Hey, have you seen this? Have you heard about

21:07

this? Stop

21:10

scrolling for a second. So

21:14

this, you know, Louisiana thing, Jesus, it's

21:16

just another thing. The project 2025, they

21:18

want to do, they want to put

21:20

it everywhere. This

21:23

is so dumb. It

21:25

is 10 commandments, the 10

21:27

commandments that need seriously in need of

21:30

an update. Yeah.

21:32

So you're right. I should update them. That

21:35

would be great. George Carlin did a good job. Did

21:37

you ever see that special where he

21:39

did that? I probably

21:41

did. I'm forgetting it. I need

21:43

to rewatch it in light of this week's news.

21:46

Every time I make a reference, that's old

21:48

Jesus is like, yes,

21:51

I'm up to date on Bridgerton.

21:53

I'm avoiding

21:57

Bridgerton. I'm excited to announce.

22:00

It's getting harder and harder because everybody's talking

22:02

about it. Did you watch Bridgerton? I

22:05

mean, I've seen a little bit of it. It's it's an

22:07

interesting show. I hear

22:09

it's so pretty horny. Yeah.

22:13

Yeah, it's like exactly.

22:15

It's like a romance novel. Come

22:18

to life. And I

22:20

said when I said come there. You

22:25

see, you spell it a different way. I

22:27

get what you're putting down. We'll be

22:29

right back after these messages. Douglas

22:33

is one of many who found a new

22:35

life through Seattle's Union Gospel Mission. I was

22:37

living on the streets when I heard the

22:40

sky talk about how he got clean and

22:42

sober at the mission. So I decided to

22:44

give it a try. I could feel something

22:47

working inside of me and I knew I

22:49

was getting better. Today, my number one goal

22:51

is to stay clean and sober. To

23:34

show on the internet? Are

23:39

you caught up on the boys? No.

23:41

I haven't been watching

23:43

the boys. I haven't watched the Acolyte

23:45

yet. I've been so busy working

23:48

right here on the podcast,

23:50

editing videos for the

23:52

podcast and

23:55

writing articles. Posting.

23:58

Post. that I don't

24:01

have... What he's doing for you, humans. I don't

24:03

have much time for anything else. This

24:07

is how much he loves you. What

24:09

I actually do to tune out Jesus

24:11

is I put on the office in

24:13

the background and

24:15

I play with my Lego. Awwww! Play

24:18

with my Lego! Isn't

24:21

that just utterly charming? It is. What

24:24

are you doing to escape the crushing

24:26

depression... the crushing

24:29

sadness of modern times. I

24:32

mean... You're

24:34

asking me? Or the humans? For fucks

24:36

sake, Donald Trump is running for president

24:38

again. And he

24:41

might win. That's

24:45

depressing. This is a... This

24:48

type of year, it's really a test. Are

24:51

you the type of person that lives in fear and sadness?

24:57

And sadness? Or do

24:59

you overcome it with hope

25:01

and laughter and love? Because

25:06

yeah, on the one hand, he

25:08

could win and that would suck. On the

25:10

other hand, he could lose

25:13

again. That

25:15

would be hilarious. That

25:19

would be so funny. I

25:22

don't know if he might lose again, Jesus, because a lot

25:25

of those Nikki Haley voters have said they're not

25:27

voting for him. No matter what. I

25:30

did see a nationwide poll the

25:32

other day that showed Biden for

25:34

the first time is leading Trump.

25:36

Again, nationwide. Not for the first

25:38

time. Not for the first... I

25:40

mean in this election cycle, no? No. Okay,

25:43

for the first time in a while. It

25:45

was significant. So

25:48

I... Look, I'm still optimistic. He

25:50

lost a few years ago. There have been

25:52

a few election cycles since then. With

25:55

him in a way attached. He has lost

25:58

those as well. The midterm. were

26:00

bad for him. There is

26:02

hope. There is hope, especially if

26:05

all you humans go

26:07

out and vote and encourage your fellow

26:10

friends and family to vote for

26:13

Biden. Joseph Robinette

26:17

Biden. Don't forget.

26:24

Every time Jesus says Robinette, it just

26:27

strikes me as funny. It's a ridiculous

26:29

middle name. I'm just going to say Robinette.

26:33

Well, you're one to

26:35

talk, Mr. Jesus

26:38

Horatio Christ.

26:41

What is your middle name anyway? Habanette.

26:44

Habanette. Habanette Hussein. There's

26:46

so many good options. There's so many

26:49

good options. Hussein's a good one because that'll

26:51

trigger the right. That was a good one

26:53

during the Obama years. That was my favorite

26:55

answer during the Obama years because I could

26:57

just be like Hussein and they'd just be

26:59

like, why

27:04

is? And now they're like, why

27:06

is Jesus wearing a rainbow sash?

27:10

Why did Jesus say stay woke?

27:13

Oh my goodness. I made a post the other day

27:16

just saying that

27:18

Republicans have to make Dr.

27:20

Fauci a scapegoat because then

27:23

it protects them from

27:25

the reality that Donald Trump is to

27:27

blame for over 1 million Americans

27:29

dying of COVID and

27:32

they're still losing their shit over that. I

27:36

just, I said the simple

27:38

truth about it and they're

27:40

just like, don't

27:45

you dare remind people that it

27:47

was Trump's fault that a million

27:50

Americans died and that was way,

27:52

way higher than any other industrialized

27:54

nation. Was

27:56

that a good impersonation to them? That was great. That

27:58

was great. All right, Jesus. move on to

28:01

close out the show. So there

28:03

you have it folks. Louisiana wants

28:05

to put the 10 commandments in

28:08

every classroom while ignoring

28:12

these commandments in their personal lives and in their

28:14

public policies. It's

28:19

like trying to save a sinking ship

28:21

with a Band-Aid. That

28:23

is true. And remember thou shalt

28:26

not require classrooms to display the

28:28

10 commandments when

28:30

you don't pay attention to any

28:32

of them anyway. Thanks

28:35

for tuning into the God Pod. Don't

28:38

forget to join our newsletter at

28:40

thegodpodcast.com and share your own

28:43

commandments you think should be

28:45

displayed in classrooms. That's

28:48

going to be funny Jesus. We

28:50

would love to see those humans

28:53

and until next time, keep questioning,

28:55

keep laughing. And remember, even divine

28:57

comedy needs a little faith. Amen.
