:24:03
What kind of question is that
to ask our guest?
:24:08
I'm afraid I'm not very religious
:24:10
Herr Kessler is a sensible man
:24:13
He realises that if the scars
of this war are to heal...
:24:17
...then we must turn to one another
:24:20
My sister says you're a deserter
:24:23
In my father's opinion, so am I
:24:25
That's enough, Larry
:24:27
My son was too ill to join up
:24:31
Ill! The illness my father
has never understood
:24:34
He thinks it stems from my mother
spoiling me till the day she died
:24:39
Excuse me
:24:43
I apologise for my son's behaviour
:24:45
- I thought you didn't like excuses
- Damn it!
:24:49
Excuse me, Father
:24:52
In war, life is so simple
:24:56
It's only afterwards that
complications arise
:25:00
- Don't you agree, Father?
- Certainly
:25:03
Religion is important in wartime...
:25:05
...but even more so when the silence
of arms toys with our peace of mind
:25:10
When we pray to God
in time of war...
:25:13
...we can only rely on His support
if we have faith in our cause
:25:19
Excuse me, Father...
:25:21
...but what about the other side?
:25:27
Why, of course, Herr Kessler.
God is on everyone's side
:25:31
But when you fight for a cause
with all your heart...
:25:35
...then God finds it
easier to forgive...
:25:38
...if, in doing so, you disobey
His commands
:25:42
Who does God not forgive?
:25:44
Those who do not believe
:25:47
Those who remain lukewarm,
who don't take sides
:25:50
They are condemned to
eternal wandering
:25:53
He shows them no mercy,
Herr Kessler
:25:56
"So, because thou art lukewarm,
and neither cold nor hot...
:25:59
"...I will spew thee out of my mouth"
