Rev. Clayton:
Your mother and I kept asking ourselves... asking God... what we done wrong in your upbringing? What did we do that filled you with so much hate? John Henry Clayton:
It weren't you. Rev. Clayton:
John 8:32, remember? The truth will set you free. God knows the truth. John Henry Clayton:
All through the war I kept asking myself, where was God? Where was he at Shiloh and Seven Pines when men lay dead and dying? All good men, God-fearing men. They just lay there, begging for some small act of mercy on His behalf. And then it finally dawned on me: There ain't no God. Rev. Clayton:
[jumping out of his chair and blustering toward him]
THERE IS NO GOD? John Henry Clayton:
[standing up to meet him]
All I'm saying is that if there was ever a time that man needed God it was then, and trust me, he wasn't there. If you're expecting God to save you, he ain't gonna. Rev. Clayton:
Most men came out of that war wanting nothing more to do with killing, but not you... You went looking for it. God is not responsible for the life you choose. John Henry Clayton:
I DID NOT CHOOSE IT!
