1:20:02
- You want Mr Lefferts fired, too?
- Fired?
1:20:05
Why, I'd give Jim a bonus
for boostin' circulation.
1:20:08
I thought you came to bury Caesar,
not to praise him.
1:20:11
Shakespeare. Ah, yes. A moment ago you
used the Bible... to whip Sister Sharon.
1:20:16
- I merely quoted it as a source.
- Of course. As a good newspaperman,
1:20:19
you wouldn't use information
unless it was fact, would you?
1:20:23
Tell me somethin', Jim.
1:20:25
Is the Bible fact?
1:20:27
Hm?
1:20:29
Well, come on, Jim boy.
Did God create the universe in six days?
1:20:32
Did He make the sun stand still
to help Joshua lick the Amalekites?
1:20:36
No.
1:20:37
- You don't believe Moses parted the sea?
- No.
1:20:40
- God wrote the Ten Commandments?
- Nope.
1:20:43
Or that the dead were raised
and the blind cured?
1:20:46
And 5,000 people were fed
with five little fishes
1:20:49
and two little itty-bitty loaves of bread?
1:20:52
No.
1:20:53
You don't believe in any of the miracles
in the Holy Bible, do you?
1:20:56
No more than I believe that black cats or
spilt salt or broken mirrors are bad luck.
1:21:01
Or that God can be jealous
or bloodthirsty or vengeful.
1:21:05
Or that Jehovah sanctions bigamy
and stupidity and slavery.
1:21:10
In other words,
you don't believe in the Bible.
1:21:14
I believe that the Bible is a book
of beautiful poetry and wisdom...
1:21:18
But it's not fact.
1:21:23
And if it's not fact,
1:21:24
why would he use it as information,
except to destroy her character?
1:21:28
I heard you say it,
and you'll burn in hell for it.
1:21:31
No, Georgie.
You can't scare Jim that way.
1:21:35
You see, if you don't believe in the Bible...
you don't believe there's a real hell.
1:21:41
Hey.
1:21:43
And it follows if there's no real hell, there
can't be a real heaven. Right, Jim boy?
1:21:47
Why don't you get to the point?
1:21:50
Do you believe Jesus Christ
can give us life everlasting?
