BEND RIVER, OR—Gary and Ryan are work friends. Gary thinks there's probably a God out there somewhere, though he's not sure if it's the Christian God or not. Honestly, he just doesn't think about it very much. Ryan, however, is a passionate atheist.
The two get along fine most of the time. Gary, if he's being honest, kind of wishes Ryan would shut up about God for just one minute sometimes, though.
"Honestly, the dude talks about God more than any of my Christian friends," he told reporters. "It's like, I'll listen along and chuckle when he says 'flying spaghetti monster' and 'magic sky fairy.' Just to humor him, you know? But at some point, it's like, something's gotta give."
"We don't need to talk about God like all the time, ya know?"
Ryan was quick to clarify he doesn't care about God at all and also hates Him and rejects Him and wants to spend every waking moment making sure that everyone knows how much he doesn't care.
"How would people know how much I've freed myself from the idea of God if I didn't talk about it all the time?" he said. "We must move on from the childish idea of some all-powerful Creator out there somewhere. Also, we must talk about it literally all of the time."
Luckily, his coworkers enjoyed a brief respite from his talk about God when he joined Crossfit this week.

"I just want to be treated like any other 7-foot son of a billionaire president," said Barron to reporters. "Everywhere I go, I hear: 'Who is that giant person?' or 'Hey look! It's the heir to the throne of the American Empire, may he live forever!' or 'REEEEEEEEE!' It's really exhausting."
"You have got to get rid of all the bad stuff, like the meat and the animal products," said lab technician Luka Ranier, pouring a beaker of methylphenylketone into a bubbling broth of 2,2-dimethylpropyl benzoyletate as part of the standard process of making a meatless burger.
