Daniel Chapter 3: Bible Study by Atheists

[00:00:00] Welcome to Sacrilegious Discourse. For this is what the sovereign Lord says, Why do you need prophets to tell people who you are and what you want? If you can justify everything that the God of the Bible has done

[00:00:12] then you can justify any of your behavior. A lot of this mentality is trickling into what is now mainstream right wing Christianity. I am capable of empathy greater than this God of the Bible. This is a Bible that they tell kids. This is a Bible

[00:00:28] that they tell kids. This is the good Lord. This is the good book. This is he is fantasizing about murder, mass murder. And over to Sacrilegious Discourse.com right now I got Hathalie to sort of you or some Buddhist on Hathry On. Wife! Do you remember

[00:00:50] what happened yesterday and where the hell we are today? Well, yesterday we read Daniel Chapter 2. We did. And in that chapter we are reading about Nebuchadnezzar's dream and how he was like getting people that he needed to interpret it and then when he... No, not just

[00:01:10] interpret it. He was like what did I dream? Tell you to me. What did I dream? They weren't, yeah they had no body-drampt and how to interpret it. And the ones that he

[00:01:20] talked to first couldn't so he was like I'm going to chop you into bits. I'm going to kill all the fucking people that are real smart because you don't know what I dreamt. That's not

[00:01:31] so I'm going to kill you. And then Daniel got summoned to go get killed and Daniel's like yo, whoa whoa whoa yo hey can I talk to the king? And then the guy was like sure of course.

[00:01:43] Why wouldn't you be able to talk to the king? Yeah everybody could talk to the king. That's how that works. That's normal. You just get to go and talk to the king as a 10-year-old little boy.

[00:01:51] I don't that's... I don't think he was 10 but sure. Whatever, he was young. Yeah. Anyway so he went to go talk to the king. Of course he was like yo king and the king is like what?

[00:02:02] And then he was like I need I need some more time. Which I think is funny because wasn't that literally what like the original guys had asked for? Yeah yes for more time. He's like

[00:02:12] no I'm going to chop you. I'm going to chop profit in due pieces. I don't know that song. This is my last property. Prophecy. I think you really must that. I really did. I actually had

[00:02:25] it. I was thinking about how to make that into that song earlier today in my way to work and I had it down then but when I then I forgot that I was wanting to do that as a bit

[00:02:36] and then I was like but I kind of get it in there so I just fucked it up and get it anyway and then it turned into like really something stupid so yeah sure did. That's what just happened

[00:02:45] and that's why husband doesn't sing. Right exactly. So anyway he slept on it Daniel Daniel Daniel got to leave go to his house hang out and pray and talk to God apparently. He asked his

[00:02:59] buddies to pray with him. Yeah yeah and God apparently showed him exactly what the dream was and then how to interpret it and he came back and told him he was like cool that's cool. That was a lot

[00:03:11] and then he never can as a professor. I'm prostrated to themself before Daniel and which is really weird. It is. There was way too much, there was way too much just trying it was trying too hard. It was giving too much credit to God for this guy

[00:03:36] never can as a who worships other gods and is a king who does do his destroy another lands and taking them over. He doesn't give a fuck about this God. He just destroyed all this God's people

[00:03:48] and quite possibly if you were to interpret what he had done, he destroyed that God. Essentially yeah. So it just don't it wasn't believable. No. The way that the reaction happened. No.

[00:04:02] All right well anyway that was it that was the gist of it. That was the gist of it. That was the feeling after do longer introductions now because of the way these stories go. But it's kind of fun

[00:04:10] and occasionally I get to try to sing a song which is really crappy. Don't do it. I'm not going to do it. I might do it but I'm going to do it badly. I promise you that. Yes. So anyway that was

[00:04:21] Daniel chapter two. Sure stuff was. Which means that today we're giving him into. Daniel chapter three. All right let's do this. Okay don't keep. All right we're jumping into big D chapter three. Oh okay that's Daniel. It is the Daniel chapters

[00:04:43] the book of Daniel. But I want to call him big D. I know. That's just so much more fun. Or Danny Boy is somebody in our discord server pointed out. Which we're doing today. Yeah live. We're doing live.

[00:04:56] And you should join us every Tuesday at 10 pm each day. Yeah my change Wednesday soon. It might mean August I believe we're going to be shooting the days up. You should join us every week

[00:05:06] on whatever day it happens that week that you want to do it. Yes. Yes. Yeah so we are entering chapter three of Daniel and just want to purpose this with a note before we start actually reading that

[00:05:22] this book is divided into two parts. Chapter one through six are a set of six quart tales so that's where we are right now. Right. And then chapter seven through 12 are for apocalyptic visions.

[00:05:35] Yeah. And then there's like three extra stories that we're going to read at that point as well that were in some of the early translations that didn't quite make it into the stapled collection.

[00:05:48] Yeah so they call it the apocryphas or apocryphas because there are a apocalypse story. Sure or whatever. I guess. So something in particular about this chapter that we're reading is Daniel's

[00:06:02] absence. Oh. It's the only one in this book in the book of Daniel that he's not in but his friends are. That's really odd because we just ended with him doing something pretty significant. Right.

[00:06:16] So it's odd that this is the chapter where he'd be missing. Well these stories aren't necessarily consecutive. Right. Like the first chapter was the intro explaining how he got there and what happened

[00:06:27] and that was thought to be added later. Yeah. Right. So the one that we just read was actually just the first story. So this is just another story. Okay. And it happens to be about his friends.

[00:06:38] So it's just like the scubae gang or something of the Bible? Yeah. I would say yeah. I read it. I agree to those terms. Got it. The fact that Daniel is absent from this one does suggest that

[00:06:51] this story may have been independent from the others. As we remember they were all kind of floating around at the same time and some of them came together and they were like, look at these two

[00:07:02] with three stories. I'm going to staple them together because they're all about this dude. Sure. It's called this dude Daniel. Yeah, that's cool. And then this other one came in and they were like,

[00:07:10] whoa, what's that? This doesn't it tastes the same but it doesn't have dude in it. I don't know what to do with it but it's really good apparently. So they were like,

[00:07:20] just change the name of the friends to match the Daniel's friends and then just staple it in there somewhere. Got it. So that's that's my rendition of history. Okay. All right. Yeah.

[00:07:29] All right. I think that's as good as any. Sure. One of our did knowing how the Bible was done and put together and you know, thought out. I should be a history teacher. Totally. Yeah.

[00:07:39] Don't you think? Bit of a little history even. Okay. Yes. Technically we kind of are. Don't you think away? For fuck's sake. Don't you think if I was a teacher that the way I

[00:07:50] described stories that would that would I would entertain students and they would probably be more inclined to remember stories better from history? Possibly. I think so because I try to like

[00:08:04] make it funny. You do? Yeah. I think I would learn better if you've seen I showed you the multiple times but they have these versions of history where they teach it by doing like

[00:08:17] social media replies or text messages or files. Oh, I love them. I think those are fantastic. Like, you know there's like the one that's like the US is entered the chat for World War

[00:08:27] 2. Yeah. I love the way they make it all flow through those chats is fantastic. Yeah. Those are really funny. You haven't seen like the text message thread history things. You should do a

[00:08:39] search and try to find them. Well, you should find one and link it. I should. Yeah. I will try to remember to do that so and we'll we'll try to link that in the show notes because I that's one of my

[00:08:49] favorite things. What I like is the drunk history. Drunk history is fun. Yes. Really fun. I used so speaking of history. You know I am a history buff. I did know this. Like

[00:09:04] when I was younger, well even in my mid 20s and probably early 30s, I spent a lot of time falling asleep to like history shows. Like that was just how I spent my life. Although when we got together

[00:09:18] you were falling asleep to Boston League. Boston League was the first one. Yeah. Brown Brown Brown Brown Brown. Oh, and I need a great show. It's great show. I made you turn that music off though.

[00:09:28] Boston League was so familiar with you. I know but you would fall asleep and the DVD would just go to the like the screen. The back then I needed noise and now I don't. I've learned to live without it

[00:09:43] but I didn't. I back then I did. I need to live without your noise. What? It's not even what you're singing. It's from jar of hearts. Only you're a jar of noise. I don't know what jar

[00:09:56] hearts is. Okay, I'm not singing that one. That's too pretty. I refuse to ruin it with my poison. But like who sings it? What's her name? I don't know. Okay, she's really pretty and it's a good

[00:10:08] song and fuck off because I can't remember her name on the spot. Okay. Okay. Yeah. Was it like what what decade was it? I don't know. Was it like the last 10 to 15 years?

[00:10:18] She also sing a song only human, I think? Okay. Or something like that? Yeah, I don't. I don't know. I don't know. The jar of hearts is fantastic. Yeah. Yeah. I was looking for an answer.

[00:10:31] Not a. I know. Don't. Don't. I'm in threat. Do not engage in the chat. God damn it. All right. So are we going to read this shit now? The Daniel list. Did I stop you or something? No. I stopped me. Okay. Let's get into this Daniel Sand's Daniel.

[00:10:49] Did we not even start the chat? No, we shouldn't. No, he did not. Interesting. King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold. Oh, because remember he was like, you're so awesome because you contributed my jeans. I'm going to make a fucking statue.

[00:11:07] Yeah, because that's why I do when people interpret my James. I make gold statues. Exactly. So he made an image of gold. 60 quits high and six qubits wide. That sounds like a giant. It's definitely not humanoid.

[00:11:23] Right. I can hate that. Yeah. And then he set it up on the plane of Jura in the province of Babylon, because that's where they were. Yeah. He then summoned the Satrups prefix governors advisors,

[00:11:38] treasurers judges, magistrates and all the other provincial officials to come to the dedication of the MIT setup. Yeah. So the Satrups prefix governors, advisors, treasurers judges and magistrates and all the other provincial officials. Maybe it was a Neflam dildo assembled for the dedication of

[00:11:56] the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up and they stood before it. I'm ignoring that because it wasn't 60 feet. I was just trying to think of the size of this thing. Not feet,

[00:12:06] qubits. What do you have? Okay. A foot and a half. Whatever the fuck a qubit cube it is. You're going to call it a qubit cube or it was a good game.

[00:12:14] Cooby, cooby do you do? But like where are you? That's a big fucking golden dildo. That's what it is for a Neflam. That's what I'm thinking. That's what it's got to be. Okay. Or maybe they're God. Maybe

[00:12:24] they're God neither the dildo. I don't know. But it's a giant god golden dildo. That's what it is. Our suggestions that perhaps it was merely a pillar or that it was an animal or what it might have.

[00:12:36] At 60 foot, fucking six white six foot wide an animal? I don't know. I'm just telling you the notes that I read about it. It might have been a pillar with animals and God's carved into it all around

[00:12:48] that would make better sense. So decorative dildo. Right. Part of it might have not been all dedicated to the statue part of it might have been the platform that it was upon. Okay. Because they're like, that's ridiculous. The difference in the height versus the width.

[00:13:04] It I mean that's what I'm saying. So there are quite a few things. It seems very fall-like and symbolism. You know, it's very tall and tall and not wide. So it's a thin, thick motherfucker. Yeah. Okay. But long really long. The same. Oh God. I can't wait.

[00:13:21] Then then. Yeah. The Harold loudly proclaimed nations and peoples of every language. Because you know he's loud. Yeah, because that's what Harold's do. They hark. Hark. This is what you are commanded to do. Okay. As soon as you hear the sound of the horn,

[00:13:40] flew zithered, leader, liar, harp, pipe, and all kinds of music. So as soon as you're on that ship, you must fall down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up.

[00:13:50] Oh, I see a problem right? Yeah, because we shouldn't worship gold according to the other gods. It's an idol. He wants them to pray to an idol. Right. Yeah. Whoever does not fall down and

[00:14:02] worship, this is still the Harold yelling. Yeah. Will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. That'll be so. So immediate hell then. This is the way. Yeah. What is that? Therefore, as soon as they heard the sound of the horn, flew zither, liar, harp, and all kinds

[00:14:20] of music. All the nations and peoples of every language fell down and worship the image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. All of them? I'm gonna bet not. Let me meet Dave Conquer,

[00:14:31] a lot of land. So I'm saying quite a few. I bet there's a few that did it. Like he just like maybe could have never conquered them. How about the main characters of the story? Right. Right.

[00:14:41] Oh, yeah. They're godly and they yeah. Yeah. They just literally interpreted a dream or whatever. Yeah. So I'm gonna guess that they did not. Right. At this time, some astrologers, so chowdians came forward and denounced the Jews. They were like, look at them three turdlets

[00:15:01] over there. Okay. They said the King Nebuchadnezzar, me the King Leforever. Right. You are majesty has issued a decree that everyone who hears the sound of the horn, flew zither, liar,

[00:15:12] harp, pipe, and all kinds of music must fall down and worship the image of gold and that whoever does not fall down and worship will be thrown into a blazing furnace, but guess what? What? There are

[00:15:24] some Jews whom you have set over the affairs of the province, a Babylon. Okay. Do you know who they are? They're the four kids that took over the duties. You remember Daniel's not in the story?

[00:15:35] Okay. The three kids that are not Daniel that took over the duties of whatever once they said duty. Shadrak, me, Shash, and a beded, no. I said that wrong. Who paying no attention to you? Your

[00:15:49] majesty. I mean what tattletails, what little bitches? Right? Why are you gonna get other people in trouble? I don't know. They neither serve your gods nor worship the image of gold that you have set up.

[00:16:03] No, no, no. Okay. How do I mind your beeswax? Well, I mean a lot of people do those things to get ahead. I know. You want that dish you should make them look bad. So the rassles? Sure. Like, I wouldn't

[00:16:17] rad would you rat somebody out? I bet did you know harm and it's just over there doing the on thing? I generally know. I don't think so. I wouldn't. But I can't. I can't speak for what's going on in this

[00:16:27] situation exactly. Right? You know. Okay. Well, furious with rage. Never can neither summon Shadrak, me, Shash, and a bednego. So these men, men, not boys, brought before the king. And

[00:16:42] never can neither set to them is it true, Shadrak, me, Shash, and a bednego that you do not serve my gods or worship the image of gold that I have set up. I'm like, you know, the answer. Right. You

[00:16:56] literally just got an answer about your fucking dream from their god. Yeah. And you talked about how awesome their god is. Right. So you fell down and prostrate because you sort of were taking this

[00:17:07] in in chronological order. You already very much know about their god. Yeah. And even hypothetically respected. So if I were those boys or dudes, I'd be like, why are you clowning king? Right.

[00:17:22] Don't clown on me, bro. You know you know right now when you hear the sound of the horn continued the king. The horn flew zither, liar, heart, pipe and all other kinds of music. If

[00:17:34] you are ready to fall down and worship the image I made very good. But if you do not worship it, you motherfuckers will be thrown immediately into a goddamn blazing furnace. Do you hear me? Yeah.

[00:17:45] Yeah. Then what God will be able to rescue you from my hand. I don't know. I bet we find out though. I bet that it's y'all way dude. Yeah. And something he's going to do something in this.

[00:17:59] Yeah. I'm just like, why you try and God really? That's what you want to do when you were just showed. Oh, you're talking about Nebuchadnezzar. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Why are you challenging him?

[00:18:11] Well, I question the validity of that thing happening in the first place because it didn't seem correct or right. No, which apparently it was not correct. Right. Exactly. This wouldn't be happening after it was. Exactly. Shadrach, me, shush and Abidnego, replied to him. You know,

[00:18:28] all three of Nusyn at once. When did you go? Yeah. King of a Kinesar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you in this matter. Yeah. They all spoke this simultaneously. If we are thrown into the blazing

[00:18:39] service, I mean furnace, that God we service able to deliver us from it. And he will deliver us from your majesty's hand. I'm reading as though I'm AI because that's the only way all three could be talking

[00:18:51] at the same time without a fucking script. But even if he does not, we want you to know your majesty that we will not serve your gods or worship the image of gold you have set up. Okay. So

[00:19:03] they're like basically saying, we're not going to worship your God. We're going to pray to our God. Our God may may or may not answer us, but that's nothing important part. Sure. We may die.

[00:19:12] And that's fine. We're fine with that. That's our God's bidding and we'll gladly do that as opposed to bend our knee to you and your golden deldo. Because unlike Nikki Haley, we will not

[00:19:23] bend the ring. We will stand by our values. Kiss the ring? Did I say bend the ring? I meant bend the knee or kiss the ring, but I combine them because that's how it is. Yeah. I'm like that. Okay. So anyways,

[00:19:38] then Nevekinesar was furious with Chad Raghmishash and Abad Neko and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual. Seven times? Seven times? We like that seven number in the Bible. Okay. And commanded some of the strongest soldiers in

[00:19:58] his army to tie up Chad Raghmishash and Abad Neko and throw them into the blazing furnace. And we shouldn't quit saying their names over and over again so that I have to keep repeating how bad

[00:20:10] I say them. Yeah. It's really embarrassing, honestly. So these men wearing their robes trousers, turbines and other clothes were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. Oh man. They don't fire. Apparently these boys are on fire. The King's command was so urgent and the furnace

[00:20:31] so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Chad Raghmishash and Abneko. Whoa. And these three men firmly tied fell into the blazing furnace. Okay. Then King Abneko

[00:20:45] and his lead to his feet and amazement and asked his advisors what their three men that we tied up and do you want to do the fire? Didn't you just okay okay? You weren't, were you not watching

[00:20:56] my guy? Yeah. I think if there was people being thrown into a fire near me I would probably notice that happening. Yeah. And I wouldn't need to ask other people. Whoa, did those guys just fall into the

[00:21:06] fire where you actually threw them? Right. They replied certainly you majesty. He said, wait, but look I see four men walking around in the fire. What? So they threw in three but do's looking in and he sees four. Okay. Unbound and unharmed and the fourth looks like a

[00:21:26] son of the gods. Okay. Did you hear it? I sing it so that you would feel the same work. Yeah. So like this is going oh, girl god okay. And son of. Right. Yeah. But so also could be interpreted

[00:21:46] to this Jesus probably. That is what happens. Yes. Okay. That is what gets done by Christians who have to steal other people's religion. But also interesting as you said that it is plural. But

[00:21:59] see, Nebuchadnezzar is not saying that their god doesn't exist. He's merely saying but this is the one I do. Got it. And I want you to do it too. Yeah. You do my god with me. Right. And they're like,

[00:22:11] now we'll do our god and he's like fuck your god, do my god and they're like still know though. Got it. He's like getting the fire with you. Okay. Nebuchadnezzar then approached the opening of the

[00:22:22] blazing furnace which I doubt because his servants died just standing near it because it was so fucking hot. So do you really think the King walked up to it? I don't. Anyway, he opened it

[00:22:35] and shouted, Shadra, me Shashin, Abnego, servants of the most high god. Oh, do you come out? Come here. So Shadra, me Shashin, Abnego came out of the fire and the set-ups, prefix governors and

[00:22:51] royal advisors crowded around them. They saw that the fire had not harmed their fucking bodies. Nor was a hair of their heads sinched. Their robes were not scorched and there was no smell of fire on them.

[00:23:05] Interesting. This is a true or false. I'm going with false. Yeah, definitely. Right? False. I mean, I'm assuming it's true or false. Well, no, this is this is in line with what we've been

[00:23:16] listening to so far with this book, yeah, of Daniel. And they, they keep the legends. Right, they're they're trying very hard to make God seem very powerful and important and and it's like they're trying to work extra hard to make this God be working towards something

[00:23:41] in the future. Like it's a very forward thinking God that they're talking about now, that's that's got plans for these people that's got great ambition to make things happen the way he wants them to happen. Right. And that can't be stopped by silly little things like death and

[00:24:00] and in other gods, another powerful people, whatever. But they go, they go to great links to make never canes or end up ultimately bowing before this God over and over again so far. Right,

[00:24:16] right. So it's just, it's really weird and unnecessary in my opinion because it's too much after what we read thus far in the Bible. Right. Yeah. Because never canes or doesn't end up respecting God. Why would that fucking happen? It doesn't make any sense. Right. Right. So then

[00:24:34] never canes or said, praise be to the God of Shadra, Mishaosh and Abidnego who has sent his angel and rescued his servants. They trusted in him and defied the King's command and were

[00:24:49] willing to give up their lives rather than serve or worship any God except their own capital G God. Mm. Since you they I'm going to ask since he doesn't need this other God as much because

[00:25:03] this is the best God now. Right. Can I have some of that gold dildo? Right. I mean, I was just saying I just a little chunk. Oh, there were also suggestions that perhaps it was merely gold plated. Really? Yeah. Interesting. Yeah. Okay. So, um, because because having a

[00:25:19] bill like if it was solid gold, that would have been more gold given the measurements. That would have been more gold than the entire nation of yeah, that one would not have been able to.

[00:25:36] Got it. Got it. But even back with gold plating back then, it wasn't going to be something that was like really thin. So it would be something that would still have a lot of worth to it. So if you asked me,

[00:25:50] I'm going to still take a lot of the, uh, I'm still going to chip off peace because I mean, it's still got enough to make you rich. I would imagine. I would imagine as well. Yeah. I mean,

[00:26:03] I'll take you in the little bit. Right. Right. Therefore, continue to do okay. I decree that the people of any nation or language who say anything against the capital G God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abidnego, be caught in two pieces. This is their last resort. There it is.

[00:26:24] And their houses be turned into piles of fucking rubble for no other God can save in this way. Wow. This is this. You just built a, I mean, let's just call a 60 feet because it's a

[00:26:38] little bit. I mean, because you can't with the cube. It's not quits. What I mean, but let's just call it 60 feet. You just built a 60 foot tall, six foot wide golden rod, essentially. Sure. And you're all,

[00:26:51] you just instantly are now all on board with this other God and telling everybody that this is the best God. Well, I mean, this was like right before his eyes. He's so in canon, according to the story. Yeah.

[00:27:05] This was right before his eyes. Like everything else could be like, and maybe God did it. Maybe my God didn't I don't fucking know, but this is the kind of shit though that people like that I

[00:27:16] talked to online. They're like, see how God proved his, his might in his worth of my, this is a stupid silly story. Well, here's the thing. People that use the Bible to prove the Bible are the same

[00:27:31] people that would use the root word of the word they're looking up in the dictionary and the definition. So like you would say, what is sadness? Look it up in the dictionary and they look

[00:27:44] up sadness and they say, oh, it's one of person is sad and it's like, false. Like you can't use the word in the definition of the word you're looking up. Right. That is such as an ambushedery. Right.

[00:27:59] So no, you can't use the Bible to prove the Bible. I already don't believe in it. Therefore your proof is not proof. Right. Okay. But it works for them because they believe wholeheartedly that this

[00:28:13] is actually the word of God until you then prove that that is not correct by showing how many fucking contradictions are and they're like, well, you can't take it literally and set them

[00:28:24] away. Holy fucking hell. Except then they're like, no, I take it all literally and it's like only sometimes only when it's convenient. There's literally no one in argument with somebody who is

[00:28:35] held in on on, okay, to be fair, there's no one in argument with me about God existing either. Well, the thing is, so I mean, I'm not trying to say that they have something different from what

[00:28:48] I have but they are the ones with the burden of proof because they're claiming something does exist. Right. So it's just, and it's not about winning an argument versus losing an argument.

[00:29:00] Right. Like I'm not trying to win. So you're right. There is no winning an argument with them, but I don't want to win the argument what I want is for us to reach a point of agreement on something

[00:29:15] anything. And I want you to stop changing the fucking rules halfway through the game. Yeah, don't move the goddamn goal post. Yeah, I don't know. Can we have just like a reasonable

[00:29:23] discussion about this and try to come to some sort of a consensus on what we agree on in disagree on instead of just constantly moving this argument around and different, different topics

[00:29:38] that have no relation to each other to try to just keep not having a deal with the last conversation. But honestly, if you're starting from a place where you actually believe in talking donkeys,

[00:29:50] get the fuck out of here like I can't. I don't have, I don't have the patience for it. Hey, agreed but there's not, if you say that, right? Like if there's somebody that's arguing with me

[00:29:59] online about God and they're the existence of God, they are not going to, if I say, well, what about talking nonkeys? They're not going to, well, you're right or they're going to say,

[00:30:11] they're going to pick one of the other and then when we get into it on that and then they can't go any further with it. They just drop it, move to the next argument and I'm like, okay,

[00:30:22] I can't keep following you around like we could do this for the next year, man. Like the book is bit the, the Bible is a big fucking book. It's a form of sea lining though and that's where

[00:30:32] they toss like 100 different arguments at you and your busy chasing down each one to prove them wrong. And you'll never, you'll never get there. No, I should have told somebody out on it. Actually

[00:30:44] just today because they, they sent a, like it's like a 20 chapter book as a link to something that they wanted me to comment on and I'm like, you what? I'm not reading that.

[00:30:59] I'll go off and it was he was trying to tell me that I was wrong about the Dead Sea Scrolls Times. Can I, I looked it up? I said, well, it was somewhere between like 200 BC and in this time

[00:31:10] frame because I was talking about how there are places in the Old Testament that have been added to written out of time. So like, you know, the book right now with Daniel was written about 400 years

[00:31:23] past when the Bible any next time actually happened, which is what we're talking about, right? And he's like, you're wrong. You're absolutely wrong. And the Dead Sea Scrolls proved this and I'm like,

[00:31:33] okay, but the things I'm talking about were all done prior to this. Right. I'm not talking about the New Testament, which also that doesn't work for that either because of when the

[00:31:42] New Testament was written. Right. So either way you go with this, yes, it's a nice basis for people to understand an early text of the Bible, but you can't use that as proof that nothing was ever altered

[00:31:55] in the Bible either. Right. It's just, it's one of those things like they, they, they pick these little points and they're like, this is the reason all of this is correct. And I'm like, no, that's not

[00:32:07] correct. The printing press really caused problems because it made it like solid in written in stone. It'll never be changed ever. And it's like, you're cute. I don't think you know how things work.

[00:32:20] Like, I don't know how things work, but I at least acknowledge that. And I think I know more how things work than you do. Right. So okay, we're almost there with this chapter. Sorry,

[00:32:29] I know I went off on our, no, that is okay. That is okay. Yeah. So no other God can save in this way. Right. Yeah. Okay. Then the King promoted Shadrag Misha and Abidnego in the province of Babylon.

[00:32:44] So the men to power, which I thought they already were, but whatever. Yeah. They were until somebody else was like, their assholes and they like, yeah, their assholes and then he saw a miracle happen. He's like, they're not assholes. Right. Okay. Whatever. Whatever, man.

[00:33:02] Yep. So that's the end. Yeah. That was Daniel chapter three. Sure. It's bookwise. Which means that we'll be back tomorrow with Big D, chapter four. Daniel chapter four. We'll see you then.
