The Man Who Sued God

1:05:01
Using his name to justify a
legitimate legal fiction. A lie.

1:05:05
It comes close to it,
I would concede.

1:05:08
Isn't that blasphemy?
How can you tolerate it?

1:05:10
To be truthful, I suspect we haven't
given it a lot of thought until now.

1:05:14
Do you think it's because the Churches,
1:05:17
whose combined wealth could easily
pay off the entire third world debt,

1:05:21
are massive shareholders in financial institutions,
including the global insurance industry?

1:05:28
What are you doing
in bed with these people?

1:05:37
We are not perfect, Mr. Myers.
1:05:40
We've been on the wrong side
of things very often. We are sinners.

1:05:44
We are blind to much injustice,
we have blood on our hands.

1:05:48
- Guilty, no question.
- I didn't ask for your confession.

1:05:54
Good, it would take eternity to hear it.
1:05:58
I want to know if you recognise
any of the same flaws in yourself?

1:06:03
A little intolerance, perhaps?
A little too much self-luck?

1:06:07
I'm not the one on trial.
1:06:09
And nor is God, I assure you.
1:06:11
My god is an eternal wellspring
1:06:15
of love, hope and inspiration for millions.
1:06:20
He moves mountains.
1:06:23
How does your faith compare with that god?
1:06:27
- It's a poor world without faith.
- I know.

1:06:33
I mean love of God.
I mean feeling God work on your heart.

1:06:38
Have you felt that?
Compared to that loss,

1:06:43
the loss of your boat is nothing.
A speck of dust. Not even a speck.

1:06:50
Who knows?
God might have been trying to teach you that.

1:06:54
It was a sign?
1:06:57
- I wouldn't rule it out.
- Thank you.
