SPEAKER_03 0:00

This is part two of Easter. And happy Easter, guys.

SPEAKER_04 0:05

I know we were dog tired that day, but yeah. Hopefully everybody had a a great evening.

SPEAKER_02 0:12

Oh, it's hilarious. We had a good day, dude. I I walked I walked eighteen thousand steps that day. Yeah. Yeah. Which is nine miles. Yeah, I looked at my phone later on and I was like No wonder I'm so fucking tired. Right. Yeah. So we banged it out and got her done. Yeah, yeah, we did.

SPEAKER_04 0:35

Alright, well, I would like I would like to just say a little bit of uh just a little like a few verses out of the Bible, and then we can go in to what we got. So this is first Corinthians chapter fifteen. This is Paul basically explaining that and it states for what I received I pass on to you as of first importance that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas and then to the twelve, and after that he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. So all right, we can get into it. Huh. Yeah, man.

SPEAKER_02 1:34

I would I would like to talk a little a little bit about Lazarus. Oh, yeah, we can talk about Lazarus. I'm sure you guys know a lot about that.

SPEAKER_01 1:45

Lazarus would know firsthand.

SPEAKER_04 1:48

Very interesting.

SPEAKER_01 1:50

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:51

Lazarus was a really close friend of Jesus. And I want to say it was and and he had passed, right?

SPEAKER_02 2:01

I mean, yeah, and then Jesus, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 2:04

He was dead for like four days, right? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 2:08

Something like that. Yeah, yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_01 2:10

Yeah, because him him and the apostles were like days away, anyways, already. Yeah. So he was, yeah, so he was like, he was dead for a good while, I believe, in the Bible too, expresses how like when when he arrived, uh excuse me, by the time him and the apostles arrived, all the people that were waiting for Jesus were like, There's no point, it's already too late. Like he he's beginning to smell and bugs are starting to catch to him. Right, yeah, right. Yeah, like it it specifically says he's been gone for so long that like they didn't even think that, like, he even even though they still believed Jesus was who he was, they still felt it was already too far gone. Like, he's already with the Father, as far as they were concerned.

SPEAKER_02 3:10

That will that was one of his biggest miracles, right? Like, had people who were on the fence like, wow, whoa.

SPEAKER_04 3:18

Yeah, and yeah, Jesus even he even delayed his journey by two days because Jesus was gonna go there already. But to really to really show that you know what he can do, he waited a little bit and then he went ahead. And did it and it was actually because that's what I was trying to look at was the exact timing of it.

SPEAKER_02 3:44

It was the plus there they were traveling on donkeys and shit. Oh, oh yeah.

SPEAKER_04 3:51

It takes a while, you know. It does, definitely.

SPEAKER_02 3:53

They didn't they didn't have Hummers.

SPEAKER_04 3:55

Right, no, no, not at all. Yeah, this happened the Saturday before Psalm Sunday, where or Palm Sunday, where he went in on the donkey, and they all shouted Hosanna, and and then seven days, you know, uh five days later he died, and then he resurrected Sunday. So it's very close. That's crazy. Can you imagine? Right. Like that's the thing. It's like with his ministry, it was literally only three years. So the break the breakdown of the four gospels, it really, you know, it only stretches three, you know, three years.

SPEAKER_02 4:44

Yeah, and it it's it's interesting that all of his apostles were like just everyday folk, you know.

SPEAKER_04 4:52

Exactly, exactly. And that's something that I believe that we can all relate to. You know, you got uh you have Peter and his brother, Andrew, that were fishermen, and then you had a tax collector as as as Matthew. You know, you had you know, just do you had a woman that was a whore, essentially, or you know, lighter terms, she got around at bars and everything, you know.

SPEAKER_02 5:22

This is you know, a whole lot of right.

SPEAKER_04 5:25

So it you know, we can always we can relate to that, you know. Right, right. Um right, exactly. So and and funny thing is, is that the ages of the apostles are predicted to be between 18 to 24. Yeah. So he really he he really emphasizes on the you you know, the younger you are, the more, you know, you're you want to learn, you know, like the younger the better. Capturing the youth and pointing them in the right direction. Exactly, because you have your elders, you know what I'm saying? You know, you have those godly people that are you know that are considered elders and everything, but there's a there's just there's always been a tough push on the youth, and I see like you know, we talked about it before, but in America, the youth is starting to get around to a like a Jesus revolution again.

SPEAKER_01 6:29

Yeah, see, because I find that I find that really interesting, the parallel be between like how men felt back then compared to how how they feel like now as a whole. Yeah. You know what I mean? I think a verse in the Bible that's always stood out for me was when John the Baptist's father, before he finds out that him and his wife are going to conceive John, he's talking about how hard it is out here for men nowadays.

SPEAKER_00 7:07

Huh. Interesting.

SPEAKER_03 7:10

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 7:11

Because it yeah, before like the uh he like an angel appears to him. Right, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 7:17

Do I have that right, Dylan? Well, let me let me see if I know the it's uh night first.

SPEAKER_00 7:27

I think it's in the beginning of Matthew. Yeah. Oh yeah. Like after uh maybe chapter two. Crap, I can't find my Bible now. I have lips joint.

SPEAKER_04 7:44

Here, I'm gonna get into Luke 1. Get into Luke 1. I think that's what Yeah, basically he was kind of arguing back and forth between the angel of like, you know, like, no, his name is not gonna be John. Like, it's it's gonna, you know, gonna be Zechariah. And then Gabriel essentially was like, Alright, well, it says, and now you will be silent and not able to speak until the day it happens. That reminds me of the Matrix, dude.

SPEAKER_02 8:23

When they when they close his mouth off. Close his mouth, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I can't help it. That's what I thought of. Yeah. Huh.

SPEAKER_03 8:35

There is yeah. I can get into I kind of want to get into uh do you guys want to get into how Jesus was either betrayed?

SPEAKER_04 8:54

Do you want to talk about the specific Friday, Saturday, and Sunday? Sure, sure.

SPEAKER_02 9:01

Yeah, the betrayal and uh right and and the fact that you know they were he was gaining popularity. Even though the Roman Empire was was they had control of Israel. Right. Yeah, and and you know, uh just eventually they uh how do you want to put it? It's like um peer pressure into crucified. Yeah. He didn't want to do it.

SPEAKER_04 9:41

Yeah, it's interesting because uh I believe uh Luke, I believe where it says it it says and Jesus was charged with and then it and then on the stone it read the king of the Jews. It w well what's interesting is how does somebody be charged with that? Like, that's not a crime. Right, exact exactly. So like the only thing they could get him on was him flipping the table inside of the temple and causing a disturbance.

SPEAKER_02 10:24

The tax collectors, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 10:25

He was like, let's say this ain't more like the Jews thing. Right, and the Jews didn't have the power.

SPEAKER_01 10:34

They didn't want to touch it. That was as far as the Romans were concerned, that's between you and your God.

SPEAKER_04 10:39

Right, exact exactly.

SPEAKER_01 10:42

Right, right.

SPEAKER_04 10:43

Uh because you know, Jesus had multiple conversations with, you know, the Roman governor, you know, in like high-level uh Romans. Like they conversated back and forth. Um the high priest.

SPEAKER_01 10:57

Oh, yeah, he was making big moves with his ministry and stuff.

SPEAKER_04 11:02

Oh, yeah, definitely. And it was there was even there was one point where he told Pont or Pontius Pilate said, Stow, I hear you're the king of Jews, and Jesus responded with, That's who you say I am.

SPEAKER_02 11:16

He said, I am, which meant I am the Lord. He said I am.

SPEAKER_04 11:22

Yeah, he said that he said that multiple times.

SPEAKER_02 11:26

Yes. Correct. Which is interesting. Because he was like, No, I'm no. I am the Lord. The Alpha and Omega, yeah. Yeah. Beginning and end. Which people were like, what? He's declaring that he's the son of the Lord?

SPEAKER_01 11:45

Are you as far as the as far as the Pharisees were concerned, that was why Rome should have done what they did. Right, right. It was because they they felt like it was just so blasphemous.

SPEAKER_02 12:02

Yeah. Exactly. It was part of their excuse to execute. Yeah, you know. Which and that was I I guess that was his destiny, you know what I mean? Yeah. You know, no matter what, that was his destiny, I guess. You would have to think so.

SPEAKER_04 12:24

Yeah, I think it's uh I think it was well that's the whole plan.

SPEAKER_00 12:29

That's well, he was that's what he came to Earth to do.

SPEAKER_03 12:33

Yeah. Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:35

Right. Yep. For sure.

SPEAKER_04 12:38

You know, it's and it's interesting that there is so there's in Greek, all right, in Greek, there's 5800 manuscripts documenting Jesus. Did you know that some of the most famous figures that we study today don't even have at don't do they don't even have 80% of that amount of manuscripts towards them around that time period? Wow. Like, like Julius Caesar, Julius Caesar has like maybe a hundred manuscripts, maybe a bit less. And we know Julius Caesar clear as dead, you know? Alexander the Great is the same way. Like Jesus has thousands and thousands, and if you even want to if you want to add Latin, English, what's I think I'm forgetting another language, but it totals up to around 20,000 to 25,000. So now total manuscript.

SPEAKER_01 13:47

Well, um, if you think about it, Dylan, he made he made one of the biggest cultural impacts on human beings and still have and still never. Like, like if you like if you think of if you think of us like in a sense of like, you know, darn Darwinism or whatever, for a minute, you know what I mean? And think of our brains of like cavemen. You know what I'm saying? So like when Jesus started to open his ministry and preach to all these people, basically his uh one of the biggest central compounds of his teachings was it's it's not only okay, but divine to be humble and love your enemy, you know what I mean, and forgive somebody endlessly, no matter how many times they wrong you.

SPEAKER_02 14:54

Like, and this is like New Testament, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 14:59

Yeah, and this, and this is but well, and when you think about it, that was him breaking down the Ten Commandments and divine law and in like the idea of how God himself perceives them. Yeah, you know what I mean? So, like when he taught he would talk about things like humility and forgiveness and stuff like that, and not only be like, is this not only is this okay, but it's divine. And I think that's the key word there is divine. You know, even though like, because the big question is like, well, why if if Jesus is God, then why does he not really just straight up say it? He always just comes down to the son of God. Well, when he was in the flesh, he would he he couldn't he couldn't think of any other way. He had to humble himself to God as he is in in heaven on the throne, you know what I mean?

SPEAKER_02 16:05

Because it was yeah, he was human, yeah. He was human, but divine.

SPEAKER_01 16:12

Exactly. So so and that's if you think about it, like people living like that on a daily basis and perceiving situations like that was completely unheard of. Because, you know, back then the world was a very violent place. I mean, you know, Jesus wasn't the first person to be crucified, and he wasn't the last. Like, you know, like Rome, they came up with this shit all up in their head. People were violent and vicious and very cruel. So, like if you compare to how those cultures were back in the day, and then Jesus comes in with his ministry, it it's that is uh it's it's just it's even hard to fathom.

SPEAKER_02 17:03

Yeah, you know, it's really hard to fathom just what kind of cultural impact that died of of fucking worms, like the ruler of Roman that was there before Julius Caesar died of Rome of worms.

SPEAKER_03 17:18

Oh, really?

SPEAKER_02 17:20

Oh yeah. I know uh man, dude, the it basically ate him from the inside out. I I see what you're saying. And he was yeah, yeah, yeah, before Pontius Pilate, like Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 17:37

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 17:38

Well, even um even Emperor Nera, you know, after G you know, after Jesus died, and when he was persecuting all the Christians, he straight up he killed his wife and then took a teenage boy, made him cut his ball sack off, and made him dress up. Yes, made him dress up as a girl, yeah. That was his wife. Yes, these people, especially in that area, were yes, they're I something I think something happened.

SPEAKER_02 18:19

The P. Diddy of 2,000 years ago.

SPEAKER_04 18:22

Right, right.

SPEAKER_02 18:23

Dang. Yeah. I mean, that's what it sounds like to me. Damn.

SPEAKER_04 18:31

How fucking gross. Yeah. It was a very it, you know, we we can look back on it, but aren't we kind of doing the same thing now? Kind of cutting balls, we're cutting balls off, you know. Oh, we're starting to we're we're you know, we're starting to change the genders, we're starting to get into that. That stuff is.

SPEAKER_02 18:57

I know, but there's thank you. Thank God there's pushback. I mean, thank god.

SPEAKER_04 19:02

Well, you would think that, but I just read I just read a report that the owners of Grindr are were invited to the White House for some type of dinner this week or something like that. For for an LGBT awareness thing at the White House. Why would that happen? That's that's my question too. You they made that whole White House that's in there now, they made fun of Biden for having all those gay and trans people in there, and then those same people making fun of them saying that it's wrong, y'all are gonna do the exact same thing. I don't get it.

SPEAKER_02 19:50

I don't I don't even see that doesn't matter.

SPEAKER_01 19:53

Government is so messed up, dude.

SPEAKER_02 19:56

Like I said, yeah, even the moratorium. Like, I thought I was doing something, I probably fucking just wasted my time. Like, you know, I thought I was speaking out against the fucking data center and this, that, and the other, and like it's coming.

SPEAKER_04 20:15

Well, I think this it's a big well, yeah. Local, obviously local, and you know, that's it.

SPEAKER_02 20:24

It's important. But I I was very, very important. And yes, that's why I went Yeah. I put a nice shirt on.

SPEAKER_04 20:36

I don't fucking I don't I don't get the whole like takeover of I don't I don't understand why we have to conform.

SPEAKER_02 20:46

I don't I don't understand why we have to conform to any of this bullshit. Any of it why I believe Yeah, no, I get that we're all thinking, breathing humans. Do you are you on the side of humanity or not? Like you know what I mean? It's it's very simple, but they try to make it so complex, like like we don't know what the fuck is going on. Right. Like yeah, we know we know exactly what the fuck is going on and we don't agree with it. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. Like enough. That's how I feel, and I'm very passionate about it. I d I don't you know I don't uh I don't wanna squash no eggs but I know I had a hard ball.

SPEAKER_04 21:37

Well, see, this is this is a a funny thing is like the it would to kind of bring it back full circle, the the the one of the main reasons that Jesus was here was because of that spiritual war. warfare that we that all of us battle. That we're talking that we're talking about right now. Exactly. Exactly. There's that spiritual force that it's physical. It it looks physical because it's human. But it's spiritual. Deep down, deep down, it's that spiritual battle that we all have to face. And you know, and and I think a very positive start is well let's look inside of us spiritually and then let's see what what these demonic things are bringing into our community. You know what I'm saying? If something's correct correct we're working. If we see something demonic come in like an artificial data you know data center to where you know one I don't care how much money it brings in we're not seeing any of that money first of all. Two it's gonna it's going it's going to destroy our entire ecosystem with the water. Yes. It doesn't it doesn't matter it's gonna fucking crush it our electric bills are going to quadruple like the which they are doesn't matter. Right it doesn't matter because it's all a it's all a form to get us away I feel like to anything that averts us from Christ I think it would be considered demonic a hundred percent I would agree with that yeah because no objection there yeah because man and you know the scariest thing about that man is there's a lot of things that can be used as a straight up distraction.

SPEAKER_01 23:45

Yeah everything you just said yeah yeah like that's and because and because that's that's the ultimate convicting part of it too you know is we're all guilty.

SPEAKER_02 24:02

So who are they who are these who are these people that are trying to take control of our souls. So and that was a profound question.

SPEAKER_04 24:18

Yeah I have a theory I believe that I believe that there's there's there's like Satan is at like the r the hell alright like Satan is like the leader of but then he's also got he's also got demons that because we since we all sin, we are all part of the same you know we're all part of that same we all we all fall short is what I'm you know of God the dichotomy.

SPEAKER_02 24:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 24:58

So since we all fall short, I believe there's certain people that are desperate enough to basically strive to advance something that is sinister by using you know either demon witchcraft what like whatever you name it.

SPEAKER_01 25:22

Some form of evil I believe go ahead sorry I was just gonna say uh users the only two things that are called users is drug addicts and people who are on the internet well see that's another thing it's usury it's usury and there's a reason for it yeah so I don't what what the fuck do we what is AI gonna do is AI gonna build me a fucking shed is AI gonna AI ain't gonna do shit like well right we don't see AI they really do want to push it to the point where it can build you a shed for one right right like they are actively working on like bots that can do construction and factory work. You know what I mean? Like we're we're looking at at billions of dollars that are really focused on on dog shed on well re weeding out of weeding out of physical labor. You know what I mean? Right.

SPEAKER_02 26:41

Because it's cheap it's it's cheap nob you know they they wanna they they want to trade people for a it's not that cheap though because then you gotta pay for the data center dude you're gonna pay for the data center.

SPEAKER_01 26:58

So it's we already discussed that we already said what do you think all that buddy that nobody ever gets it's not making life it's not making life and they don't because like I said I don't think most of these people like these companies and shit give a shit about money dude right like like they they'll say that it's saving money yeah sure but they already have all the money they are already in control of all the money. Right. So they're already by the balls and it's circulating in the same way right so how do we stop it how do we stop it is the question that's a fucking I don't I don't think that's true.

SPEAKER_02 27:45

I don't I hope that's not true.

SPEAKER_01 27:49

Okay well there's I mean dude like and this this is this is now and and I understand if if people don't want to believe it or anything but that's where the core thing comes into of Jesus's resurrection because the y you know it we will inevitably be our own end and Jesus will come back.

SPEAKER_04 28:20

Right I love I love that and it says and it says we have to get worse in order for that to it's going to not that we have to make it worse it's just evil evil has to blanket us in order for certain things to happen and it's not like we want to let it happen. We can Sodom and Gomorrah right we can we can if we have a city like Sodom and Gomorrah we can we can elect we can elect we can get together and unite and elect or run for certain positions to knock it down.

SPEAKER_01 29:05

I like your outlook on it yeah you don't want to you know it's more positive yeah yeah yeah the classes have nothing I mean because don't don't get me wrong I I don't think that by any means that God would frown upon trying to slow that down like you said like actively trying to stop it and convince people better you know sure he's very appreciative of of the Christian church and all that it's getting 100% parts but at the same time it's you're you're fighting against human nature essentially like because you know I because and I've wanted to say this a lot is it was funny that Dylan opened it up with quoting Paul from Corinthians because Paul was a very intelligent man as far as I'm concerned when it comes to his philosophies on human nature. You see what I'm saying? Yeah like reading reading the books of Paul and his letters in the Bible is personally has helped me better than like most therapists I've ever seen or talked to and psychologists that I've talked to. Right. You know it's it's so it's it's profound to yeah exactly and it's really you know because sometimes that's why I'm I can be real indifferent about it because we're all guilty of the same thing. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_04 30:50

Because you can ask Dylan I'm the kind of guy that you'll talk to and I don't wish the world or Judas or Peter who who actively denied and betrayed Jesus at all because we're all guilty of that at some point in time you know and I'm sure Jesus remembers every time we've done it or done as has done it you know yeah well it's a pure understanding that you have to realize that you are not above anything like you are you are the son of a bitch like you know what I mean like well you can't to assume because you to the God that created us to the one true God right that started everything as far as how the universe does its thing oh yeah he would have he would have you know if if if we want a mind like that he would have made us angels you know he would have made us in he would have made us bodies in heaven to either overlook us or to worship him within heaven you know next to his throne you know you know in instead of but no he created us to essentially serve him on this on this planet while he you know is is is up in heaven you know that's a that's a whole that's a whole nother conversation but how I how I kind of have my outlook on this world is is you know the the more the more I see and I guess this is controversial whatever I don't really care I I think since since we all are evil and and we all fall short of God I will also say that if there is any type of religion or philosophy or ideology that doesn't have Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior I am going to dis I'm going to make it a hundred percent demonic a hundred percent a drive from Satan I will say a hundred percent that it is it is of of the evil realm and and I believe that is a very big a very big reason why I think you know we've this this world has seen so many wars and so many conflicts and just so many so many different cultures so many different religions I f I find it I find it I find it hard to live in a world that everyone doesn't accept Christ if you guys are trying to if you guys can follow me on that. I hear you I hear you I mean I'm I I'm clear I you know it it might make me sound like a you know like I'm a I'm not a uh freedom for religion religion guy I'm really I'm kind of not I'm kind of like a you know if you oppose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior I just you know I I'll work a hundred percent in trying to convince you otherwise but because I'm I I I love to talk about it and I love to teach the gospel but I I don't I don't see anything advancing I don't see anything being right with God. Even though we all as individuals are inherently evil and fall short I will still say that if every single person were to repent their sins to Jesus this world would be a million times better.

SPEAKER_02 35:02

Well I would I would just say we are natural intelligence fuck AI fuck artificial intelligence we are natural intelligence built by the Lord and the creator and natural intelligence is what's important not artificial intelligence.

SPEAKER_01 35:21

We don't need data centers yeah we don't need any of that go ahead well I'm just saying because I feel like a lot of like on just adding on to what Dylan said I'm not I'm not really hip on freedom of religion or the debate behind that as much as I do believe as a as a country and as a society we we really need to get back to talking about like the Ten Commandments and upholding law and having a moral society. Oh I think we get back to discussing that and enforcing it full full fledged you know because I I think man I think uh uh that's a big issue right now is everything else is is bullshit yeah yeah yeah well you know because you got be a lot of violence on the street yeah and people get killed and nobody does anything about it and people just kind of cycle through jail like revolving door you know we need to stop we need to start thinking more about you know detain and working out programs to actually like uh rehabilitate people rehabilitate people yeah yeah instead of just lambing them down to the ground I mean 100% all right yes so and dude you know and because you want to talk about rehabilitation I think that's one of Jesus's specialties especially when it comes to like abusing sin.

SPEAKER_04 37:11

Yeah I can yeah I can I'll take it back off of that why is there not so okay I think me and Chris I think we've talked about this before but you know I I if we go by what the Bible says okay there is no God does not like prisons God does not like holding people in a cell all right we we have been you know Christians have been persecuted in the New Testament by being placed in cells and you know crucified and everything God has more of a plan on you either get exiled you know you get your punishment when it if if that is like a public thing like a lashing or or if it's so severe you know you know they the the judge ends up just killing you essentially you know even in the even in the New Testament I I do understand the cast of you know if you have never sinned cast the first stone I completely a hundred percent get that I understand what he was communicating there that but at but it also at the same time there needs to be a different type of rehabilitation that we have kind of like what y'all y'all are getting at you know people have looked into you know there are other countries in different like sort of we call prison systems that are very unorthodox to say the least that is like they have like places that are kind of kind like what what country was it there was just one prison in in where their cells kind of work more or less along the lines of what you would cannish to a degree right the programs and they give them jobs and stuff like that.

SPEAKER_01 39:26

And like well like we're discussing rehabilitation. Right like a controlled sense of banishment but at the same time like slowly setting them up to be able to introduce them back into society. The community society yeah yeah yeah 100% I I don't I don't I think I don't know because I think I think when we think of criminals we've we have a big tendency to get it wrong a lot because you think they're bad and you're good.

SPEAKER_02 40:10

They're bad you're good exactly so it's you know people it's it's hard for people to tend to not think in you know polar opposite in both extremes you know right right that's what that's what's wrong with the right and the left in this country I mean the same shit right well yeah but I mean I think as far as Dylan was saying though is is you know I feel like introducing and the you know enforcing the law again and then addressing the crime and the sin appropriately right and then being able to you know through Christ through God work work on their being healed.

SPEAKER_04 41:07

Yeah that are a member of society through this is exactly this is where the church you know this is where the church needs to get into I'm a big Christian nationalist you know but so like I really believe in the church getting into that practice of the rehabilitation.

SPEAKER_02 41:32

That's what it happened initially I mean right yeah during the revolution and shit yeah churches would speak out and they would uh Christians would speak out and not let some of the uh some of the wrongdoings that were going on go on they were like nah this thing right why we need both sides of of the aisle on in courtrooms essentially to fear God again.

SPEAKER_01 42:02

Yeah yeah like judges and lawyers need to take their job more seriously they need to they need to work with these people and discuss cases more fervently you know like basically just buckle down and not think about the money or their fucking stupid yachts and all that dumb shit.

SPEAKER_02 42:23

Yeah and like you know re bring back to where a courtroom was somewhat it was supposed to be common law there that if you look at any of the district courts now here they are they have yellow tassels around the American flag you know what that means well you know it means it means maritime law so laws of the sea not common law okay so problem number one fuck that let's get rid of all of that that doesn't need to happen you got a fucking yellow tassel around your flag that means it's maritime law that means it's laws of the sea not laws common law as it was described like because people don't know this shit people don't know this shit and they should know it they should fucking know it. I'm speaking out on that now see the the yellow tassels around American flag they're all over the district court they're not real courts bro it's maritime law it's fucking crazy I wish I could give you a Vulcan mind you guys know exactly what I'm talking about but it's it's a Fugazi dude it's fucking bullshit like a maritime tribunal is being held every time And they hold district court. Bullshit.

SPEAKER_00 44:05

Well, like I said, I feel I feel like they they need to read the Ten Commandments.

SPEAKER_04 44:14

And see, that's that's that that's my whole reason why I keep saying, dude, I don't necessarily believe in this whole freedom of religion thing. A country a country cannot succeed. It cannot form a i an identity if you have five thousand different religions living in the same community. It cannot work. We we know that it can't work because our judges are atheists.

SPEAKER_01 44:47

At least have the the law and and the central point of that.

SPEAKER_04 44:56

They can't elect atheists. If we're talking about the Ten Commandments, right? Atheists do not follow the Ten Commandments. That's why an atheist, a Muslim, a anybody that it it used to be a thing in America back in the 1800s, that you had to be a somewhat of a Christian to be an elected official, to be a judge, to be in any type of power. You had to be a Christian because you knew you knew that you would actually uphold the law. We didn't have any type of we didn't have an atheist or a Muslim until like the 1900s. And then you can see how our country kind of went down when it came. You know, how our country kind of crumbled a little bit um as we elected more and more atheists, more and more Muslims. I could care less if the Muslims follow the Ten Commandments, because I know they don't, because it's it's it's a fake God to begin with.

SPEAKER_02 46:04

So oh and make make you know make no mistake. They want to kill you. Make no mistake, they want to kill you. And that's how it works.

SPEAKER_04 46:16

Like, yeah. That's that's my only thing, and it's like we we have elected atheists, we have elected other non-Christians, we've all of them. We've been infiltrated. And it's specifically because it's specifically because of that amendment of the freedom of religion. It's specifically because of that. And that's my pro that's my problem with it. It's like we're supposed to we're supposed to uphold a we're supposed to uphold a religious a specific religion, yet doctrine were Yeah, uh a religious doctrine, a specific one, yet we still have to include all of the other pagan things, like the pagan demonic things. Like I don't get how that goes together, and that's something I'm very critical of.

SPEAKER_01 47:20

Well, essentially, I think uh I think a lot of that is when they look at that amendment, people immediately think empathy thereof without without putting in perspective how how they might feel about said situation and if they're willing to uphold the same. I mean, but if somebody you know they're very confused when it comes to the word empathy, you know, because you would want someone to take that job, like Dylan was saying, like if you were to have an atheist to take that kind of job, you would still want them to uphold the same moral value they they do, despite the difference in beliefs, without even into, well, I need to feel this person out and see if they really at their core hold the same values. Right.

SPEAKER_04 48:24

Yeah, and that yeah, that's very hard.

SPEAKER_01 48:28

To a degree, I agree with you. I mean, I don't uh because I don't really like the only thing is I don't like the idea of a government being able to dictate what you do in your own house or whatever. But as far as like holding, like you were saying, like a a government seat like in Congress or whatever, I think that's where we got got it real dead wrong is like, okay, so if you're gonna have an atheist do this kind of stuff, you better make damn sure that they still have empathy for how we feel about it.

SPEAKER_02 49:05

Oh, and they may play, they may play right on your Christian values.

SPEAKER_01 49:11

Yeah, well, because the only thing I would disagree with Dylan with what he said is uh all atheists don't uphold the cat Ten Commandments. I'm sure there are atheists that uphold the Ten Commandments.

SPEAKER_02 49:24

Probably not whether not. Probably not.

SPEAKER_01 49:29

Well, yeah, well, because I blank because the colleges would have fucked that up. From what I colleges have gone fucked that up with the whole, you know, well, you morality is subjective, you know, as far as where we're standing, you know.

SPEAKER_04 49:50

Right. Maybe like a maybe like a 1920s, 1930s atheist, maybe.

SPEAKER_01 49:57

But nowadays, man, if if I think I think we're talking about like two different atheists, too, like two different breeds. I don't think a lot of them exist because kids that kind of just immediately or decide to what would you how would you say it?

SPEAKER_02 50:22

I would just say it sounds like we're talking about moral morality. And where are your morals are where do your morals lie? You know, if you're an atheist and you don't believe anything exists beyond this spiritual world that we're in, then you know, you you don't believe the same shit I do.

SPEAKER_01 50:43

Like I think so So I think that's what a lot of the damage is, is you have like a young person that would that's like going into college that would identify as an atheist, I think teaching them that morality is a very dangerous thing.

SPEAKER_02 51:03

Because you're already talking about a a mind that's already very You don't have to teach people morality, they fucking know morality, like that shit is engraved into your DNA.

SPEAKER_01 51:19

I I I would like to I think we're all learning and making mental notes of morality and how we are and how we're upholding it. Hopefully, yeah. Well, hopefully people do want to be better at at how they carry themselves on a daily basis.

SPEAKER_02 51:42

Correct. And it starts in your own bedroom, right? You gotta clean up your room. You know, like Pearson says.

SPEAKER_04 51:53

Yeah, I think the problem is like if if we want if we want everyone to uphold the Ten Commandments, you know, they're I'm just gonna list them. They're breaking one, two, three, four. I get maybe, I don't know. So that's four, five, so there are people, six, seven, eight. Maybe. Right. So, I mean, the only ones I can see that the that the atheist could uphold is honoring the mother and father and the shall shall not murder. Because you have to be like, you have to be in a different, you'd have to be the different mindset for the you know the murder thing. But that's that's that's my only problem, is because like the first commandment is literally you shall have no other gods before me. The second one, you shall make no idols. They're constantly making idols of themselves. You know what I'm saying?

SPEAKER_01 53:00

Yeah. That's that's like my it That's like a big part, like societal lie, too, is it because I think high schools and stuff teach a lot of that is is you you know, that's how you measure your worth person, is your is your you know, how much money you have making your stuff as a certain kind of idol.

SPEAKER_02 53:26

I'll get it like prison. Yeah. They ring the oh they get used to working in a societal society, you know. It's all fucking bullshit. And you're like, oh, the bell rings, oh, we're off, oh, we're on, oh, and they're getting used to like factory work. Yeah, that's how I can sum high school up. Yeah, dude. I went back I went back to the school for my sister's Hall of Fame inductioning or whatever, and I was like, this is like a fucking prison. This is a fucking prison. Like that's all I can think about. Like just being straight up, you know. Yeah, yeah. So it's that's crazy. How about Easter? Yeah, Easter, man. Hey, the Easter, the days start getting longer, baby.

SPEAKER_01 54:30

You get more we can bring that up, you know, because that's that's why Jesus was resurrected in the first place.

SPEAKER_00 54:41

Yeah, that's right.

SPEAKER_01 54:42

You know, that's right. There's a whole society, like, you know, is what Dylan was saying earlier, that that in itself, when you talk about upholding the Ten Commandments and and the root of sin, you know, societally we we have a deeper problem.

SPEAKER_02 55:00

I'm just wondering why there is a problem. Why is there a problem?

SPEAKER_00 55:05

Because of sin.

SPEAKER_02 55:07

Right.

SPEAKER_04 55:08

I know, but why is it sin is the only thing that gets between us and God. That's the only thing.

SPEAKER_02 55:15

So why the fuck can we get over that? Dude, why is there a problem? Why is there a problem, right? You know what I mean? Because I'm asking a way deep question. And I'm sorry.

SPEAKER_04 55:31

When the father of sin is on the earth, people are gonna sin. It'll never change.

SPEAKER_02 55:45

Coming back. Right? Is that what you're saying? Yeah. Well, I'm just wondering why why is there always a prop? You know what I mean? Why why is not everybody on the same page? Why is there evil, why great?

SPEAKER_04 56:04

No, it's a it's a fantastic question that I think the the the best theologians over thousands of years has been asking. It's that it's the question, like the question. Why is that happen? Why that's what a lot of right and that's what a lot of atheists think too. It's like you guys is a God, you know.

SPEAKER_01 56:26

Because you know that song John Lennon? Forgot the name of it.

SPEAKER_02 56:30

All the people, imagine all the people talking about that one.

SPEAKER_01 56:36

I always think about him talking about what if everybody just a hundred believed what Jesus preached and humbled themselves to that standard.

SPEAKER_02 56:51

And they killed him.

SPEAKER_04 56:53

Then they killed him. That is what that's what I was trying to explain earlier. Yeah. Yeah, they did kill him.

SPEAKER_01 57:01

Yeah. I figured that we were gonna do what we did. He was almost our pride not being able to to see to that point.

unknown 57:17

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:18

Because like I said before, like like we were talking discussing earlier, that was the biggest cultural impact.

SPEAKER_02 57:27

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:28

Ever.

SPEAKER_02 57:29

Almost ever. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 57:32

Yeah. And to all off, and this is the great, this is the big kicker, I think, you guys, is on the third day he rose again and said, I told you so.

SPEAKER_02 57:45

Yep. Who's it?

SPEAKER_00 57:48

Jesus. Jesus.

SPEAKER_02 57:49

Yeah. Oh. Oh, okay.

SPEAKER_04 57:52

And what's he what's yeah, what's also interesting is that uh you say that is when the two women, you know, it was the two women that found the tomb empty, a man came up and said, uh, that followed Jesus. The women were like, Whoa, whoa, like he like he got up, like he got up, and the man literally said, but he said he was going to. The man that was in Galilee right before, he literally told us, Why are you surprised? You know, and that so I I really I I really applaud to that man just being based, being like, yo, he literally just told us like he'll be back. And he did. So let's go find him, essentially. You know.

SPEAKER_02 58:46

Who's the first person to uh figure out that he resurrected?

SPEAKER_00 58:52

I think it w I think it was women.

SPEAKER_01 58:57

Well, because the Roman so the Roman first saw him, wasn't it? What'd you say? It was Mary Magdalene that first saw him. Yeah, I thought at the end of Luke. I think it I think that's where it's yeah, let me look.

SPEAKER_02 59:14

Mary Mary Magdalene never left his side after she was entitled to let's see.

SPEAKER_01 59:24

That's what what how she found him was he was going to the body again, and it wasn't and she was already blunt because the stone was moved from the last time she because there were Roman guards making sure she wouldn't take it anywhere because they already knew what was up with that.

SPEAKER_00 59:44

And she'll know what this woman's up to.

SPEAKER_04 59:48

Right, yeah, right. It says in Luke, Luke chapter 24, it says in their fright the women bowed down with their faces to the ground, but the men said to them, Why do you look for the living among the dead? He is not here, he has risen. Remember how he told you while he was still with you in Galilee. And then wasn't it? What's that?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:14

That was that was telling her why why you why you're looking for a corpse essentially when it's not a corpse anymore.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:22

Right. Now where where did he go?

SPEAKER_01 1:00:26

I'll be right back.

SPEAKER_02 1:00:29

Where where did he go? It says I'm curious about that. Like where did he actually go? When he rose.

SPEAKER_04 1:00:43

And then Oh, okay. So you're talking about No, okay, so when he died, he went to he went to the death in Hades. So death in Hades is essentially like where hell is. So before Jesus died, okay, God did not let the people into heaven. They were into like a they were into like a a a section of the underworld, essentially. Purgatory. No, no, no, no, not purgatory. No, it was it was a it was a literal, like, it wasn't hell, but it wasn't with God. Like, the the gates of heaven were locked. And that's why that's why it's so important to emphasize what Jesus did when He when He actually died was because he went down to Hades and He unlocked the gate. He essentially freed everyone that is righteous. So you have a righteous realm and an unrighteous realm. The unrighteous realm turned into hell, essentially. The righteous realm ended up going when Jesus unlocked heaven when he died, they all end up and now they're all in heaven. So then it took Jesus, you know, that that to about two days to do that, and then on the third, that's when he rose. But if you're talking about afterwards, it l it says uh they went on the road to Emos, which is seven miles away from Jerusalem. And if I'm not mistaken, they uh yeah, when the apostles were writing about when the apostles were writing about their first interaction with Jesus after he died, he they were in a uh a locked room, and then he just like went through like like the door was locked, and then he just like came into the room essentially. Oh, yeah, where they were at, and then he did it again. There was another locked room that they were in a little bit later, and he just entered. But it's it was like funny. It was funny how they mentioned that it the door was locked, but he still got in. Right, right, right. Here I am.

SPEAKER_02 1:03:21

Right, yeah. Here I am, motherfuckers. Right. I I am yeah uh Alpha and Omega. Yeah. Wow.

SPEAKER_04 1:03:33

Yeah. So and like like I said earlier, he appeared to over he appeared to all the apostles and to over 500 people, and Paul Paul is one of them. Paul was on the road to Damascus, and he was bas Jesus basically came up to him and blinded him, put scales over his face for three days because he didn't want to believe that you know he was the Messiah.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:05

And then he believed He was actually killing people he was the Messiah.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:11

Yeah. Was all part of the uh David thing.

SPEAKER_00 1:04:17

No, he was a Benjamite.

SPEAKER_04 1:04:19

Yeah. Okay. Paul yeah, Paul was a Benjamite, Jesus was of the David of the Judah line.

SPEAKER_03 1:04:29

Gotcha. Gotcha.

SPEAKER_02 1:04:32

Cooper wants Cooper wants to eat me. Oh man. Cooper, chill out. He wants to eat me. He's hungry. Oh man. Cooper. Cooper. Everybody knows about you on the podcast, buddy. It's okay. Just relax just relax, buddy. I got Cooper under control. He still seems pissed off. He's pissed off. Cooper. Relax. It's okay, buddy. Poor Cooper. We're podcasting, buddy. He looks mad. Now he's rise. He's on my bed. I want to be on my bed. Cooper. What are you doing? Now you can't go in the middle of the bed.

SPEAKER_00 1:05:39

Shit. Sarah's really happy that there's a kitty on air. Nice.

SPEAKER_02 1:05:48

Pussy Pussy cat. Yeah. Big fat cat. Oh, it's a fattest cat is it fattiscat you ever say?

SPEAKER_00 1:06:01

Yeah, dude, I will I will remember how that cat approached Dylan.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:05

Oh yeah. It was just like, yo, you owe me some chicken wings. I know this is the first day we met, but you owe me.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:15

You owe me some wings. Oh yeah, dude. He loves chicken things, too. He's in the middle of my bed. That's what Cooper, that's where I sleep.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:31

Bears. Polar bears.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:33

Polar bears can be adorable too. But they'll kill you real quick. Oh yeah. Oh I think it's like they'll kill you the most brutal way, too, from the bottom up.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:46

Alright, so to sidetrack for a minute, we're talking about the data centers. Did we talk about that already? Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:06:56

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:06:58

Yo, we were talking about you know, into that so fuck that shit. Like bro, dude. Dude, it is so bright. Like, you people are gonna like this shit. And it's dog shit. Like I'm so against it. I'm so against it.

SPEAKER_00 1:07:26

Well, we'll see what happens.

SPEAKER_02 1:07:29

Yeah, and you want the light to be bright forever? Like it don't even it don't even shut down. There's no going down the sun or any of that. Like it's just completely bright. So the light pollution, all all of the all of this shit. Not to even get into the water, but like it's gonna be fucked up. Yeah. It's not good. It's not good.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:01

I wonder I wonder if if they're gonna use artificial intelligence to start making more of the stuff that we watch, the entertainment that we consume.

SPEAKER_00 1:08:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:22

I can tell I can tell that the commercials are starting to get AI now.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:29

Oh yeah, dude. I've seen that too.

SPEAKER_04 1:08:32

Oh yeah, dude. Yeah, it's straight ridiculous.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:36

Yeah. Well, it's it's starting to get good. Like I said, I wonder how much like they're gonna start like making movies with it. Yeah, you know, like you know, you could a whole another Pirates of the Caribbean, let's just say, with Johnny Depp and everything, it could like entirely be generated by AI.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:01

How much power do you have to fight against? Right. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:10

Well, because Xbox and PlayStation and Nintendo and all them, they they they've been throwing a lot of money at this shit too.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:19

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:09:21

Oh, I have. I have real shit, like, that you can't fuck with. Like, no matter what. We we have and in between avocado, I have like 150 different original songs that you can't fuck with. Like, I I I don't know. I don't know where it's gonna head, where it's gonna go.

SPEAKER_00 1:09:49

Me and Dylan were right.

SPEAKER_01 1:09:53

And uh because I think it's funny that you brought that the AI thing up, because I think we could do an episode on that.

SPEAKER_02 1:10:02

Oh, we a hundred percent could. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:06

Oh yeah. What'd you say, Chris?

SPEAKER_02 1:10:10

Nothing. I was just agreeing with you. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:10:16

Well, remember what we were talking about uh video games?

SPEAKER_02 1:10:21

Yeah, they're trying to swallow us whole. Basically what I said.

SPEAKER_00 1:10:26

What? Video games?

SPEAKER_02 1:10:28

No. Just the whole the whole fucking thing. Swallow us whole and uh make us less up what we are. Right. You know what I mean? Right. On on a personal level, like I'm talking on a spiritual level, like Dylan was talking about, like Yeah, I think it's a problem. Well I do too. If we if we don't watch Yeah, if we don't speak up, nobody will, like that's why I you know, I don't know. Shit, balls.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:13

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:11:15

It it could be a problem or it could be a solution. It kinda depends on us, like Yeah, it depends on the community.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:25

Yeah, a hundred percent.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:27

Um like how because this is how I look at it is how good is it is it gonna be? Not very good. Like, is it is it something we'd be able to use, you know, or or would it would it be able to tickle that see like yeah, you know, it's it's a very it it's interesting to think about if if this is going to be how they generate content moving forward, what is that gonna what is that content gonna uh look like?

SPEAKER_02 1:12:08

Yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:10

Is it gonna be kind Yeah this way uh you know if if they had AI like generate a Star Wars movie? And is say say do you think it could be even like even if it did like the narrative and stuff, do you think it would be better than what Disney tried to accomplish? Or or or you know what I'm doing do you know what I'm trying to get at?

SPEAKER_03 1:12:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:12:42

Or even like if Rotstar used AI to make another Grand Theft Auto game, and it would be just as good, if not better, than Grand Theft Auto 6.

SPEAKER_00 1:12:55

Right. Right.

SPEAKER_02 1:12:57

I don't know. I don't know, I don't know.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:02

That's like that's that's kind of what I think about. Yeah, you know, like would be would would we be able to even tell the difference, you know? No, and I understand the world being that good without like you know, by just you know, automatically thinking that AI would to be able to generate that kind of thing even quicker than a person and cheaper. Yeah, I think it was because we were talking about it at work one time, and that kid Holden was like, you know, brought brought up a good point, was like, well, that's a lot of RAM and a lot of memory and electricity to generate that content that fast.

SPEAKER_03 1:13:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:13:47

But we were also thinking about even a little bit further into the future, because if I'm talking, we're talking about you know, having a computer or something that'd be able to generate any kind of content that you would want to see at that moment with like the push of a button, essentially.

SPEAKER_02 1:14:07

Yeah. Yeah. It's a crazy mix of it's a doggy dog. Yes, she did. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:14:17

Definitely Brave New World, we're living in.
