Season 2 / Episode 19: - Trial and Error

Joan: I believed in him.
God: I know. That's what makes it hurt so much.
Joan: What did I do to deserve this?
God: Nothing. This isn't punishment Joan it's simply part of being alive. Of being involved, of loving.
Joan: Yeah I'm not doing that anymore, I am NEVER doing that again.
God: I know how painful this is but what you and Adam had was beautiful too and it was every bit as real as the pain you're feeling now. You experienced how deeply two people can be connected.
Joan: So what do I learn, when someone I trust destroys all that? Huh? Maybe it was never real maybe you're not even real. You know this whole morality thing right and wrong it's all just junk. We're all just animals taking what we want.
God: You know what innocence is Joan?
Joan: You know I don't want mock trial right now!
God: Well it's more than an absence of guilt it's having faith that there's goodness in the face of cruelty and pain. Some place you still feel that way, that's me and I'll always be there for you.
