[While his words are combative, House's tone is flat, tired.]
Why? Why would you accept this? When were you given the rules here? Not the hundreds of different rules laid out by a hundred different religions for all their different gods. I'm talking about the clearly delineated rulebook that says if you do X, you'll go to hell. You weren't. No one has been.
If god exists, then he's an asshole or he's indifferent. He doesn't hand out the right rules or sometimes any rules to everyone when they're born, and he gives us free will and then tells us not to exercise it or we're all gonna go to hell. Or are certain people going to hell part of the grand design? Because if he's meant to be omnipotent, then he knows what path you're heading down before you do. That's a crap way to manage creation.
I don't really care about the judgement from someone like that. Do you?
