[now he's getting it.]

I mean, we have the Bible, if you believe that he wrote it. But no, it's all... like, all of it is faith. You have faith that whatever god you pray to is listening when you do it, and you have faith that he'll know enough about you to punish the unworthy and reward the worthy, and you just live your whole life like that.

[and as bitter as she is about her own personal experience with religion, this is where her tone starts to get kinder. or perhaps just less like she's straining the words through the fine mesh between her teeth.]

For a lot of people, in whatever religion, that's enough. And I don't want to say that they're stupid or anything for going on faith, so don't get me wrong. It's just that... for me, I don't like it. Now that I have some distance from it, it starts feeling like a threat after a while. You know, "be a good little girl or Jesus will see and you'll have to confess your sins if you want to get into heaven".

[she makes a jerking off motion with her far hand while her eye spies the antenna lighting up.]

I should be careful. He could be listening to me right now.
