[00:00:00] Adam 22: Lil Nas X has pissed off a lot of people over the weekend as he unveiled his new music video and the part that has people most offended is when Lil Nas X slides down a stripper pole from heaven to hell and gives the devil a lap dance. Despite all the hate and judgment Lil Nas X has had time to clap back at all the hate he was receiving over the weekend. There is a mass shooting every week that our government does nothing to stop, he pointed out to one person, me sliding down a CGI pole is not what’s destroying society. The sneaker collaboration with mischief which I now realize that’s how it said it contained a Nike Air Max 97 with satanic imagery and a single drop of human blood in the midsole. Many people were upset about the blood and felt that Lil Nas X was trying to possess people accusing him of worshipping Satan.

[00:00:42] Alex Tsakiris: Well, that’s a story the Lil Nas X story that you probably heard about months ago. And that’s probably because I’ve been holding on to this interview for a while. And for various reasons. It’s an interview with a Christian pastor named Dr. Myke Merrill, who absolutely is convinced that there are no good or bad and there is no evil. And you can imagine how that pushed my buttons as to why evil matters guy. So let me just play a couple clips from the upcoming interview. And then we’ll get right back to it. Hold the rear is it’s painful. As a Christian pastor, is there a moral imperative connected to this issue? Is there right and wrong? Is there good and bad?

[00:01:28] Myke Merrill: When I watched that, that is a marketing ploy that worked.

[00:01:35] Alex Tsakiris: It’s funny that you say that as a Christian pastor because that’s the same shit that I hear from atheists and occultist.

[00:01:42] Myke Merrill: I teach people how to connect with God, as far as I understand who God is. My lack of knowledge does not dissuade me from teaching what I do know.

[00:01:56] Alex Tsakiris: And like I say, “That’s absolutely awesome.” My kind of thing is, follow the data. And relentlessly follow the data.

[00:02:07] Myke Merrill: Absolutely.

[00:02:08] Alex Tsakiris: Well, don’t go saying 69% reduction on COVID masks, follow the data understand what you’re talking about, be rigorous. But hold on, cuz I said all this in the email, and you just completely glossed over. You didn’t respond to anything. I sent you a survey with 20 questions you didn’t answer. But one or two, everything was another. You’re kind of oppositional, I get that I can be that way too. But here’s the point. I base my belief on the extended consciousness on the reality of what you’re talking about. Because I do believe this reality. Hold on, like you always want to grab the wheel, don’t you? I love it. Whenever a guy says, “I’m in the driver’s seat.” It’s up to you. Those I know it. Those are the people always want to grab the wheel. That’s the evidence. That’s what happens. It’s not what Christian say, there’s not some big bad judge up there. It’s gonna come down on you. You judge yourself. But the other thing that says, “There is a right and wrong, that’s real. That’s inside you. You know what’s right and wrong. There isn’t this relativism? There isn’t this? Oh, there are no good and bad emotions.” Of course,
