Do you think my boat was sunk by an 'Act of God'?
1:04:03
Who can say with these things?
1:04:06
The insurance companies
think they can.
1:04:09
But we don't go running around saying when
the weather's bad it's an 'Act of Insurance'.
1:04:15
Did God make the bolt of lightning
which struck my boat?
1:04:19
Yes, and no.
1:04:21
These things do not have easy answers.
1:04:23
If you can't tell me what's an 'Act of God'
and what isn't, and these men can't tell me,
1:04:28
how can some shiny-arse
with a diploma in accountancy?
1:04:31
Quiet, please.
1:04:34
If God does exist,
the Churches must be liable.
1:04:39
The Churches can only win if they
prove God does not exist.
1:04:48
Do you want to tell them?
1:04:52
Aren't you hopelessly compromised, Your Eminence?
Isn't it one of God's commandments,
1:04:57
That we mustn't take his name in vain?
Isn't that exactly what they've been doing?
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?
