Yeah.

I just thought it was immoral, and I also thought it was... Can you break that down a little bit?

Because I've had my own experiences, so I want to curious how... The way women, the way different races, and the way humanity is treated in the Bible is offensive to me.

And anti-human.

I mean, once you... I don't know whether to quote the Bible or Bob Dylan, but God said to Abraham, kill me a son.

Abe said, man, you must be putting me on.

God said, no.

Abe said, what?

God said, you can do what you want, but the next time you see me coming, you better run.

I mean, the idea that some supposedly benevolent being would have someone...

kill their son in order to demonstrate their fealty is bothersome.

And it also didn't make sense.

And then, I don't know if I want to go into this whole story, but I'll tell you a truncated version.

There was this guy, let's use the word differently, named Kreskin, who was this magician.

I remember Kreskin, yeah.

He was never on Carson.

Because he was on every other show.

But Carson would not let him on for the following reason, because he claimed to have supernatural powers and he didn't.

And Johnny was very, very strong about that.

I mean, Uri Geller was not able to do anything on the Carson show because Johnny brought in Randy.
