You can't be angry with God

9.22.10

In lieu of the religious themes to the excerpts in the p-club of late, I have my own:

Sister Mary Augustine: Why is it so difficult for you to believe in God?
House: What I have difficulty with is the whole concept of belief. Faith isn't based on logic or experience.
Sister Mary Augustine: I experience God on a daily basis, the miracle of life all around, the miracle of birth, the miracle of love, He is always with me.
House: Where is the miracle of delivering a crack addicted baby and watching her mother abandon her because she needs another score? Miracle of love. You are twice as likely to be killed by the person you love than by a stranger.
Sister Mary Augustine: Are you trying to talk me out of my faith?
House: You can have all the faith you want in spirits and the afterlife, Heaven and Hell, but when it comes this world don't be an idiot, because you can tell me you put your faith in God to get you through the day, but when it comes to cross the road I know you look both ways.
Sister Mary Augustine: I don't believe He is inside me and is going to save me, I believe He is inside me whether I live or die.
House: Then you might as well live. You've got a better shot betting on me than Him.
Sister Mary Augustine: When I was 15, I was on every birth control known to man and I still got pregnant. I blamed God, I hated Him for ruining my life, but then I realized something, you can't be angry with God and not believe in Him at the same time, no one can, not even you Dr. House.
