Spider Jerusalem: Yeah, I'm calling your "faith" bullshit. This man needs medical help if he can't get through his life without something invisible to believe in.
Y'know, I wouldn't mind all this half so much if there was some historical truth in it.
This whole concept of "faith"--of believing in something that isn't fucking there--was invented by a man to cover up the cracks in the "Christianity" he cobbled together with the Romans.
This whole God thing comes from the days when our brains weren't as connected up as they are now, and we all hallucinated daily!
Evangelist: Shut the fuck up, you goddamned heretic bastard.
Spider Jerusalem: Fuck me. That's a Christian attitude you've got there.
Channon: Couldn't you have gotten dressed?
Spider Jerusalem: I am dressed.
Besides, this'll bring out the criminal religious element I seek.
Messianic fuckheads are a superstitious, cowardly lot, and I must strike fear into their hearts.
So this Zealot comes to my door, all glazed eyes and clean reproductive organs, asking me if I ever think about God.
So I tell him I killed God. I tracked God down like a rabid dog, hacked off his legs with a hedge trimmer, raped him with a corncob and boiled off his corpse in an acid bath.
So he pulls an alternating-current taser on me and tells me that only the Official Serbian Church of Tesla can save my polyphase intrinsic electric field, known to non-engineers as "the soul."
So I hit him. What would you do?

Go on! Go for it!
We believe!
