Where in the New Testament does it say
that God spoke to anyone except his son?
:05:08
But it does say in the First Corinthians
:05:11
"Let your women
keep silence in the churches."
:05:14
"It is a shame for women
to speak in the church."
:05:17
Congratulations, Jim boy. I see you're
a student of the Bible. I'm delighted.
:05:21
What is it? Are you responsible for some
of these crackpot calls I've been getting?
:05:26
- You want Mr Lefferts fired, too?
- Fired?
:05:29
Why, I'd give Jim a bonus
for boostin' circulation.
:05:32
I thought you came to bury Caesar,
not to praise him.
:05:34
Shakespeare. Ah, yes. A moment ago you
used the Bible... to whip Sister Sharon.
:05:39
- I merely quoted it as a source.
- Of course. As a good newspaperman,
:05:43
you wouldn't use information
unless it was fact, would you?
:05:46
Tell me somethin', Jim.
:05:49
Is the Bible fact?
:05:51
Hm?
:05:52
Well, come on, Jim boy.
Did God create the universe in six days?
:05:56
Did He make the sun stand still
to help Joshua lick the Amalekites?
:05:59
No.
:06:01
- You don't believe Moses parted the sea?
- No.
:06:03
- God wrote the Ten Commandments?
- Nope.
:06:07
Or that the dead were raised
and the blind cured?
:06:09
And 5,000 people were fed
with five little fishes
:06:13
and two little itty-bitty loaves of bread?
:06:15
No.
:06:16
You don't believe in any of the miracles
in the Holy Bible, do you?
:06:20
No more than I believe that black cats or
spilt salt or broken mirrors are bad luck.
:06:25
Or that God can be jealous
or bloodthirsty or vengeful.
:06:29
Or that Jehovah sanctions bigamy
and stupidity and slavery.
:06:33
In other words,
you don't believe in the Bible.
:06:37
I believe that the Bible is a book
of beautiful poetry and wisdom...
:06:41
But it's not fact.
:06:46
And if it's not fact,
:06:48
why would he use it as information,
except to destroy her character?
:06:51
I heard you say it,
and you'll burn in hell for it.
:06:55
No, Georgie.
You can't scare Jim that way.
:06:59
You see, if you don't believe in the Bible...
you don't believe there's a real hell.
