that's it, nothing more!

He was a good teacher? I don't

recall him saying anything like that.

Alright, he said he was God.

- I'm sorry, what's he said?

- Big deal!

You heard me.

He said that he was what? Could you repeat

that again for the jury and the court?

Did you get that?

I am not repeating it, if you've got

wax in your ears clean them out.

But the biggest mistake you made

was crucifying him, isn't that right?

You'd better watch

your mouth, boy.

You thought you had it all

figured out, didn't you?

You watch your mouth, boy.

Look around you.

What do you see?

Is that right? Why don't you look around?

What do you see?

Who are you?

I am a believer

in Jesus Christ

and a lover of God, and

that's all I have to be.

Excuse me, Mr. O'Brien,

any further questions?

Wow, wow! So here we go, another turn

of events. What do you make of this?

What we're seeing I don't think

we'll witness again in our lifetime.

What just happened?

Dropping loser!

Alright, gloves are off.

From now on, hardball.

Where did that come from?

I don't know.

It's like...

Hold on a second.

Hey.

- Are you okay?

- Yeah.

I just got a headache.

Don't worry.

Quiet in the courts, all rise.

Court is in session.

You may be seated.

Mr. O'Brien, have you

ever done Internet porn?

- Yes.

- How many times?

I don't know.

Mr. O'Brien, did you or

did you not use the "F" word

when somebody cut you off

on the freeway last week?

Objection! This is hearsay,

your honor!

Where did you find

this information?

- Did you use...

- Yes! Yes I did.

- Look, this guy cut me off...

- Yes or no, Mr. O'Brien?

Yes.

- How's that for low blows?

- Not low enough.

How low should we go?

Go as low as hell.

Mr. O'Brian,

do you know what

audacious means, Mr O'Brian?

Yes.

Don't you find it audacious to waste

the time of these precious jurors

with your frivolous lawsuit?

No.

How can you sit there with

that smug look on your face

and have no shame?

Objection he's...

scolding the witness!

Scolding the witness? What does that mean?

I've never even heard of that objection.

Did you also learn that at

Billy Simon's night law school?

And did you use a racist

remark last week?

Yes.

- What did you say?

- I don't remember.

And when did you become

a Christian again?

Listen, I accepted Jesus Christ

into my heart 7 years ago.

7 years!

And still using profanity

and making racist remarks.

No further questions.

Mr. O'Brien, what other racist

things have you said?

- Are you a racist?

- Are you a member of the KKK?

What kind of person are you?

You call yourself a Christian?

Excuse me.

How does it feel to be

on the losing side?

Is it true you're filing

for divorce?

Have you ever been

so down.

You had no had nowhere else

to go but up?

Dear Lord God,

I realize I blamed

everyone but myself.

I even blamed Satan,

but I couldn't see my own faults,

my own flesh.

Forgive me, Lord.

Forgive me!

Because of all the people

on this Earth,

I am truly the biggest

hypocrite

and the worst sinner.

Give me another chance

to do the right thing the right way,

your way, your will.

I want to win this case.

Barry, most of the legal experts

pretty much agree that this case is over.

Luke O'Brien lost the jury

and lost the case.

Amazing, so his past

came back to haunt him.

Yes, it did.

Alright, let's go to Mark,

live in London.

Mark, what is the consensus

of the people there in England?

Barry, most people I've spoken to, all agree

that Luke O'Brien is a hypocrite.

He's suing the devil

when he should be suing himself.

God anointed

Jesus of Nazareth

with the Holy Spirit and power,

and he went around doing good

and healing all who were

under the power of the devil,

what is...

- What does that mean to you?

- Wow, you're amazing,

you just spout this stuff

all day long, don't you?

What does it mean to me?

Absolutely zip, zilch, zippo.

The thief he cometh but for

to steal to kill and to destroy.

I'll tell you what, though. I wish

I had the power to make you disappear.

You are boring me to death!

And Jesus was referring to you,

so I question...

how many people

have you killed?

Alright, alright.

Let's do the totally here.

According to the Bible,

I killed 10 people.

Job's family, that's it!

But how many people has

God killed in the flood?

Some estimates over

100 million people!

- Why can't you just be truthful?

- You want the truth?

You can't handle the truth!

Order!

I can handle the truth.

You know, Jesus said,

"I cometh so they might have

an abundance of life."

He also said,

"I am the good shepherd,

and the good shepherd

giveth his life for the sheep."

Would you give your life for

a human being as Jesus did?

Certainly not.

Humans are trash.

I'm just the trash collector.

- Well put, Satan.

- Your honor, I don't think we can keep...

Sit down!

Why do you get so upset when

I mention the name Jesus Christ?

Why don't you ask me

something fun? Like death?

Ask me about death, come on!

How many people do you think are going to hell?

I don't know.

You keep score, tell me.

Over 2 billion people, according

to the book of Revelations.

- What do you say about that?

- That man is wicked,

God is just, and you're

partially to blame.

Oh yeah, you ever been

to hell, boy?

Not a fun place.

That's too bad, huh?

Because that's

where you're going!

Order!

Let's recess for 15 minutes.

- That was amazing.

- Yeah.

What's next?

- We're going to need some more witnesses.

- Right.

Okay.

Pastor Pringle,

is it all God's fault?

Well, not his fault.

He is the original

creator of everything.

However He gave us

our free will

so that we become

free to choose.

That's all.

- Thank you very much.

- Thank you.

- Pastor Pringle, isn't it?

- Right.

So let me get this correct. You're

saying that God allows this freewill

for every man to chose

between Satan and God.

- Right.

- So if I was to walk up to Mr. O'Brien right now

and punch him in the face,

would that be my own free will?

- Right.

- Alright.

So it's not Satan's fault then, if

we're to follow this line of reasoning.

Well, Satan comes to kill,

steal and destroy.

And it's clear from scripture he's

behind all the world's problems.

However we become responsible in our

foreign state when we yield a temptation.

Thank you.

Pastor Philips,

could you prove to me in 30 seconds

or less that God exists?

- Objection!

- Overruled.

The witness can answer.

Prove in 30 seconds that God exists?

I can do that in one sentence.

Something cannot come out

of nothing, it's impossible.

There you have it, something cannot

come out of nothing. How true?

We can explain where life began,

we can explain where thoughts began,

but we cannot prove

a moral conscious.

This is what truly

perplexes scientists

and also proves

the existence of God.

- And what is Satan's mission?

- Oh, I think that's plain in scripture.

He's come to steal,
