Patient: “Well you tell me… is atonement even possible, what does God want from me?”
Chaplain: “I think it’s up to each one of us to interpret what God wants.”
Patient: “So, people can do anything?! They can rape, they can murder, they can steal… all in the name of God and it’s okay??? ”
“No that’s not what I’m saying…”
“Well what are you saying?!! Because all I’m hearing is some new age, ‘God is love”, one size fits all… CRAP!!”
Doctor: “Hey Doctor Trueman…”
Patient: “No, I don’t have time for this now!”
Chaplain: “Greg, it’s okay… I understand…”
Patient: “No you don’t understand!!!… You don’t understand!… How could you possible say that… now you listen to me… I want a real chaplain who believes in a real God and a real hell!”
Chaplain: “I hear that you’re frustrated, but you need to ask yourself..”
Patient: “No I don’t need to ask myself!… I NEED ANSWERS! And all your questions and your uncertainty are only making things worse. ”
Chaplain: “I.. I know you’re upset…”
Patient: “God… I need someone who will look me in the eye and tell me how I can find forgiveness because I am running out of time!!”
Chaplain: “I’m trying to help…”
Patient: “Well don’t!!!! Just get out!!! Get out!!!!! Get out!!!”
