["God" is a weird concept in a world where one country's god has directly interfered with shit. It's less about belief, because he certainly can't say he doesn't believe in the existence of such deities. If the question is one of respect or worship then it's definitely a no, but this guy seems pretty devout, and he's tactful enough to not be so blunt about it. Fortunately, he has a politician's skill in sidestepping such issues.]
I wouldn't say I'm religious. But given the situation, I certainly can't deny the involvement of some higher power.
[But as for that "judgement"... He's not sure what to think about any of it. The "crime" he'd been charged with was vague. And while he can admit to having done some morally questionable things, is he supposed to believe some god cared enough to do something about it? Or beyond that, that their retribution would come in this form?
And most importantly, there's another issue in when one would normally expect to face god's judgement.]
Do you think that means we're dead? Because I don't remember dying.
[He says it so matter-of-factly that it's clear he doesn't really think so, even if he's the one offering up the possibility.]
