02:23:45.900mine was amicable okay whatever i'm just kidding okay um
02:24:01.500pearl is a busted up mostly homebound vet these podcasts show me i made the right choice
02:24:10.020divorcing my evil cheating wife ex-wife 20 years ago i don't hate her i just don't like her thank
02:24:15.640the 304s will always be 304s you can't save these hoes you can't it's gone you know don't care about
02:24:24.400okay they're fighting back and forth gabe what's going on you're not on camera today but i did i
02:24:31.120did see you're a real person how are you i'm uh doing fine it's very rainy out here in uh socal
02:24:39.520so tell me um what are your thoughts on the topic what is your experience with the church is similar
02:24:49.120not similar what's you don't have kids right i think you came on a different show
02:24:56.000yeah i do not have children and i only recently started um embracing catholicism
02:25:04.000recently i was baptized as a baby from my very little experience i do have around
02:25:12.860religious people or the church i mean i kind of see what you've said before that you know
02:25:20.620the church produces like the biggest 304s in a way i do think there are some hypocrisies but
02:25:29.860it's also been a long time since I've been around anybody who is more like say religious than I am
02:25:39.520okay so can you give me like a specific experience that you had that maybe like
02:25:48.360what did you see that lined up with what I said or didn't line up maybe
02:25:52.200So, actually, without naming names to respect some people's privacy, I have run into a few people that are more simpy than I am in terms of, you know, enabling or explaining away, say, the 304 behavior that you've mentioned before.
02:26:20.720i actually had this conversation recently with a close with a close confidant who cited passages
02:26:29.120about like i think it was the prodigal son or like the passages about yeah go ahead i'm sorry
02:26:38.000go ahead i'm sorry did i interrupt no no i did i i'm sorry i just said i hate that one i was
02:26:42.860agreeing with you keep going keep going yeah basically you know the typical like well i think
02:26:48.520what i forget which one which book it was where there's like the one son is like pissed off that
02:26:55.480the father's allowing the prodigal son to come back after being a knucklehead and whatever and
02:27:04.760basically trying to just trying to explain away you know all of that so yeah i'm not
02:27:10.440sure if what i've just mentioned that you must be familiar with answers your question or not
02:27:17.640it does they use the prodigal son as a get out of jail free card for women
02:27:24.840in the conversation i had with that close confidant yes in a way however to that person's credit um
02:27:34.360i pretty much try to have my you know spiritual religious conversations with him because
02:27:40.200he's more like devout than i am like i just mentioned how i'm just starting to come back
02:27:47.040but on then also thinking back to like classmates who ignorantly will say well men who go to
02:27:54.120religion are using it to uh justify misogyny and all that rhetoric and nonsense for lack of a better
02:28:04.540term yeah got it well thanks for telling me the story gabe i gotta move on to the next caller okay
02:28:11.500okay but all right that's all right it's a pleasure as always all right game yeah okay
02:28:17.180thank you okay okay next when you put what oh yeah you gotta let doug in my moderator
03:15:51.220I definitely grew up in the church pretty much my entire life.
03:15:55.340And I am a firm believer in Jesus Christ.
03:15:59.120And I would say I'm more non-denominational than anything, which I understand that Orthodox people don't really like the sound of that.
03:16:05.300But in church, what I really see as the problem is even whenever they go over verses and they're talking about marriage and they're talking about parents, what they will be talking about is husbands love your wives and wives submit to your husbands.
03:16:21.720Now, husbands, this doesn't mean you get to, and then they negate any kind of authority that the husband and father has.
03:16:28.840They just go on about don't overlord it.
