Mr. Reed: It is all terrifying, isn’t it? I’m sorry. It is. It is all…Scary. I’m scared. I’m scared just saying it out loud, really. If God is real, and he watches when we masturbate, and he has such a fragile ego that he only helps us when we beg him and shower him with praise, and he hates gay people for being what he made them to be, well, that’s terrifying. If there’s no God and we’re just horny, microscopic ants floating on a rock through space with no divine purpose and no hope to achieve eternal life, well… that’s terrifying too. “Either the church is true or it is a fraud. It is the church and kingdom of God, or it is nothing.” Do you agree with that? Would it help if I told you this is Gordon B. Hinckley, the 15th President of your church. Do you agree with Gordon?
Sister Paxton: Yes.
Sister Barnes: Mmhmm.
Mr. Reed: Thought you might. So either it is all true or none of it’s true, yes?
Sister Paxton: Yes.
Sister Barnes: Mmhmm.
Mr. Reed: Okay. Then I want you to choose which door to go through based on your faith.
Sister Barnes: Are…are you asking us for us to deliberate our belief in the church? Is that a factor which will correspond to us going home?
Mr. Reed: I’m asking you to choose between belief and disbelief. My own claim is that all 10,000 verifiable religions that exist in the world today are as artificial as the symbolic church you are currently standing in. It is farce. There is nothing holy here. Your religious text is mere ornament… [tosses The Book of Mormon] …as hollow and as capitalistic as these ridiculous games.
Sister Paxton: Yes.
