Oh, yeah. God wants life to have meaning, life's meaningless without free will, with free will there's always suffering, so... God wants suffering. I got tired of that argument before I even finished saying it. And even if I brought that, the hell is God doing? Y'know, just the big stuff? The Acts of God, the hurricanes, the earthquakes, the random killings of millions of innocent people? Yeah, we better damn pray.

God, I wish you weren't a pedophile.
Why do the Lord's work if the Lord has left the building?
I've been with the Church my entire adult life. It's my only marketable skill.
I detect a stink of leftover faith.
You wanna talk hypocrisy? What about you? You act like you don't care about anyone but here you are, saving lives...
Solving puzzles... Saving lives is just collateral damage.
Yeah, nice try. I don't think you're not looking for somebody to prove you right. I think you're looking for somebody to prove you wrong. To give you hope. You wanna believe, don't you?
[pause] Yeah, I wanna walk out and find myself in a forest of whore trees. But I don't think it's a good idea to tell people to go fornicate with fruit.

If she [Cuddy] invited you to a ceremonial lynching, would you go?
It would depend on what she was serving.
Raising a child on her own is scary. She's just doing what you do, what everyone does: Trying to avoid pain.
Religion is not the opiate of the masses. Religion is the placebo of the masses. You're saying that she's not a hypocrite.
I'm not. I'm trying to give you a rational reason to overlook her hypocrisies so you don't feel like a hypocrite for going.
Oh sorry, continue.
Okay. Even if an absolute truth exists, we can't know all of it. And you can't condemn her for recognizing that.
[After a pause House starts covering the symptoms with a file]
Are you eliminating symptoms?
I can't know everything.
This is medicine not metaphysics.
Truth is truth. [Erases "Hallucination" off the board] It fits.
It doesn't fit. You can't eliminate a symptom.
I can if it's not a symptom.
Well, what is it?
Not a symptom. [walks out]
