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.

"They're here among us," alien specialist Donny Marcus told the press. "I've been studying these beings for years — they're smart, and they're resourceful. It took no time at all for them to defraud Tim Walz's government of billions through Medicare and Medicaid fraud. The government didn't even ask why they needed the money; they just forked it over. The invasion people have been anticipating has been happening right under our noses all along."
"The Democratic Party would be winning in a landslide if it weren't for that confounded Constitution," said House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries. "We have so many great ideas on how to win, but people keep saying things like 'Hey, that's illegal' or 'That's literally a crime.' It's becoming disheartening."
"This is way easier," said Democratic Governor Abigail Spanberger. "We're tackling the real issue, which is Republicans being allowed to vote at all. There will be no more campaigning, no more counting ballots. That stuff is such a hassle anyway."
