Who is this Steve Myers,
and what's his game?

:32:03
We thought we'd find out.
Please welcome Steve Myers.

:32:14
Many people might think this is the work of a crank.
How would you respond to them?

:32:24
You find it amusing?
:32:25
No. Well, yes. Somewhat.
:32:30
Would you call yourself a religious man?
:32:32
Somewhat.
:32:37
In the broader sense, perhaps.
But me being a fisherman...

:32:41
- Sometimes when you're out at sea it's easy to...
- To get confused?

:32:48
It's that thing, "What is God?".
:32:51
And, indeed, "Where is God?",
when it comes to putting him in jail.

:32:57
That's very funny.
:33:00
- It's not a joke.
- Isn't it?

:33:02
No. The joke is the insurance companies.
:33:05
You give your money to some global corporation
:33:08
on the pretext that they will cover
you for any eventuality. For any risk.

:33:12
Then something happens and they won't
pay you, because they say God's responsible.

:33:17
- You're assuming God exists?
- No, they are.

:33:20
Logically, if your argument is
with the insurance companies...

:33:23
There is no logic involved. Forget logic.
Logic has no business here.

:33:27
For instance...
:33:28
If a woman is driving a car and she's in
an accident, and her daughter is injured,

:33:32
and her daughter isn't covered by the insurance,
then the girl is virtually forced to sue her mother.

:33:37
That's not to say that the girl hates
her mother any more than I hate God.

:33:42
- This is unprecedented, isn't it?
- No.

:33:46
This is the Bible.
I have marked a place.

:33:49
I think you'll find that it says
:33:53
"There is nothing new under the sun."
Nothing is unprecedented. That's the word of God.

:33:59
I'm sure it offends some folks,
but I'm gonna fight these people.
