Philomena Quote
Philomena: I just hope God isn't listening to you.
Martin Sixsmith: Well I don't believe in God, so. [gestures]
Martin Sixsmith: Look, no thunderbolt.
Philomena: What are you trying to prove?
Martin Sixsmith: Nothing, just that you don't need religion to lead a happy and balanced life.
Philomena: And you're happy and balanced, are you?
Martin Sixsmith: I'm a journalist, Philomena. We ask questions. We don't believe something just because we're told it's the truth. Yet what does the Bible say? Happy are those who do not see, yet believe. Hooray for blind faith and ignorance.
Philomena: And what do you believe in? Picking holes in everyone else and being a smart aleck? Taking photos whenever you like?
Martin Sixsmith: I read a very funny headline in a satirical newspaper the other day about the earthquake in Turkey. It said God Outdoes Terrorists Yet Again. Why God suddenly feels the need to kill hundreds of thousands of innocent people escapes me. You should ask Him about it while you're in there. He'll probably say He moves in mysterious ways.
Philomena: No, I think he'd say you're a feckin' idjit.
Martin Sixsmith: Well I don't believe in God, so. [gestures]
