Welcome back. Catholic Answers Live. I'm Cy Kellett, your host. I told you before, this is like the biggest U-turn we've ever made from hour one to hour two. We usually try to make it make sense.

We're going from the Mass to Atheism. So everybody calling with their questions about the Mass, and now we're like, if you're an atheist or a Satanist, will you call? But we mean it. We want you to call. And you're welcome to ask whatever you like or get into whatever issue you might have with our belief in God or our belief in a loving God or however you want. You use whatever language you want. But answering atheism this hour, if you are an atheist, 888-318-7884 is the number. We'd love it if you'd call. If you're dealing with an atheist or you need help responding to an atheist in the family or something, that's okay, too. We'd like to hear from you. But we're going to try to allow atheists, those who do not accept God, to have a pride of place this hour. And we'll try to get to those conversations, 888-318-7884.

The reason I said also, I added Satanists onto that, is because Satanists are in the news this week. And the, I was going to get the wrong state. I think it was Iowa. It was Iowa. There was a Satanist blessing given at a Iowa City Council meeting, and it's all over the news. So Satanists, you're welcome to call and have your say as well. Let us reason together, 888-318-7884, here to help us do this. And I honestly thought he was out of the country. I didn't know he was back, because you've been down with our friend Michael Chong in Australia, and evangelization Australia.

Tim Staples (2:14)

Not just Australia, but Perth, Australia. You get to Australia, then you got another five hours.

Cy Kellett (2:21)

Yeah, you get to Australia and then keep going. Well, the thing I always think about Perth, for us here in the United States, if the sun's coming up here, it's going down there.

Tim Staples (2:31)

15 hours different.

Cy Kellett (2:33)

It's crazy.

Tim Staples (2:33)

It's in the future, 15 hours.

SPEAKER_3 (2:36)

Yeah, so welcome back, Tim Staples.

Tim Staples (2:37)

I gotta tell you this real quick. This was insane. But they actually, American Airlines conspired against me. No, did they send you to Dallas? Yeah.

Cy Kellett (2:46)

They are, they, American, come on.

Tim Staples (2:48)

I know. From San Diego to Dallas, and a five-hour way over in Dallas.

Cy Kellett (2:53)

American Airlines, get your act together.

Tim Staples (2:55)

Three and a half hours just to get over San Diego again, and then you go to Australia. Then you head to Sydney. I mean, the thing, think about that. Five plus seven, that's 12 extra hours right there on top.

Cy Kellett (3:07)

To start your 17-hour flight to Sydney.

Tim Staples (3:10)

Yeah. Thanks, American Airlines. It ended up being like 36 and a half hours.

Cy Kellett (3:16)

This is why I always just row a boat when I go there.

Tim Staples (3:19)

You might as well.

Cy Kellett (3:20)

No, I always find that amazing that, that go, yeah, we'll get you to Australia, but we're just gonna take you to Dallas first.

Tim Staples (3:28)

What? And you know, that's how they treat their million-milers, all right? I'm a million-miler, okay? Does that mean anything? They say, no.

Cy Kellett (3:37)

Which means he loves you, American Airlines. He doesn't have a million miles because he doesn't love you. Just stop taking us to Dallas from California to get to Australia.

SPEAKER_5 (3:45)

Just please stop that.

Tim Staples (3:46)

I'm heading up near two million now, so when I get to two million, Oh, they'll take you to get your own jet. Maybe they'll make me fly an extra 40 miles.

SPEAKER_3 (3:54)

I mean, 40 hours. Yeah, we're taking you to Atlanta and then down.

Tim Staples (3:57)

Instead of 36, we'll add another four hours.

Cy Kellett (4:01)

And when you flew across Australia, you flew over beautiful downtown Kalgoorlie, one of my favorite places in the world.

Tim Staples (4:07)

Kalgoorlie.

That country, you and I both have fallen in love with that. That was my ninth or tenth trip. We're not exactly sure. It's at least nine. My fifth trip to Perth, but just a wonderful trip.
