Tell a person that you're the Metatron
and they stare at you blankly.
:24:04
Mention something out of
a Charlton Heston movie...
:24:07
and suddenly everybody's
a theology scholar.
:24:10
May I continue uninterrupted?
:24:12
Once he's done with the first born...
:24:15
Loki takes his friend Bartleby out
for a post-slaughter drink.
:24:20
And over many rounds...
:24:23
they get into
this discussion about...
:24:26
whether or not murder
in the name of God is okay.
:24:28
And in the end...
:24:30
Bartleby convinces Loki
to quit his position...
:24:35
and take one which doesn't
involve slaughter.
:24:38
So...
:24:41
very inebriated...
:24:44
Loki tells God he quits...
:24:48
throws down his fiery sword...
:24:51
and gives Him the finger.

God decreed that angels

nor Bartleby...
:25:09
would ever be allowed
back into Paradise.
:25:12
- Were they sent to Hell?
- Worse.
:25:15
Wisconsin...
:25:17
for the entire span
of human history.
:25:21
And when the world ends, they'll have to
sit outside the gates for all eternity.
:25:24
And this has what to do with me?
:25:27
Someone has clued them in
to a loop hole in Catholic dogma...
:25:32
that would allow them
to reenter Heaven.
:25:36
So what? They beat the system.
Good for them.
:25:39
It's not that simple.
:25:41
If they get in,
they will have reversed God's decree.
:25:48
Now listen closely because
this bit's very important.
:25:53
Existence in all its form
and splendor...
:25:58
function solely on one principle--
