9ballnut ::: Favorites This is THE BEST scene from the 2nd season of the west wing I get chills all the way through jeds speech even after 8 years 07-08-24 15:09:56 _____________________________________________________
auntbecky ::: Favorites Intellectually you are as wrong as you can be. Those with no thought have come up with the "answer" over the years. It is healthy and normal to have doubts and be angry over God. Even Mother Teresa did. 07-08-24 05:14:54 _____________________________________________________
daddiorc ::: Favorites not the best, but still a great scene. i still get chills when he stops out the cigarette. 07-08-18 11:26:10 _____________________________________________________
pynchonfan ::: Favorites I would think that someone like Jed Bartlet would be an excellent and spiritual-minded person to have at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Here is a man who genuinely wrestles with issues of God and life and death, unlike our current President, who is only a Christian when a camera is pointed at him and who emphasizes faith more than reasoning or questioning. Bartlet proves you can be a believer without forfeiting 90 I.Q. points to do it. 07-08-10 22:07:48 _____________________________________________________
tamerlanecd ::: Favorites bushidocrusader, it is not a child-like reaction to the issue. The reason that it is keeps being brought up, despite being 'answered over the centuries,' is because in fact there are few satisfactory answers. If you want to maintain that God gives us free will and allows the weather to function by its laws, fair enough, but how is this reconciled by the believe that God does indeed intervene in the world to create miracles and grant people their prayers? 07-08-05 01:13:14 _____________________________________________________

tfronky ::: Favorites I agree with most of the people here, phenomenal scene from this series and I think one of Sheen's best pieces of work ... 07-07-29 04:31:16 _____________________________________________________
bushidocrusader ::: Favorites Great scene. But the President is on pretty shaky theological ground here - the "just God" argument has been answered over the centuries many times, and his point of view is the basic, almost childlike reaction to this kind of issue. Though emotionally justifiable, it is not intellectually so. 07-07-20 15:43:24 _____________________________________________________
