321. Religion
Teaser: In which the Priest explains that even though religion is a science, it isn't the kind of science where you find out things.
CHURCH INTERIOR Priest, Captain, Ranger
[FRAME 1]
Priest: It doesn't have to be a weighing device, we could start with something simple like putting all their blood in a big pot and marking the side.
Ranger: That's not the point, why don't you just ask your gods how happy Terry is?
[FRAME 2]
Priest: It doesn't work like that!
Captain: Why not? As favours go, answering a simple question seems a lot easier than bringing someone back from the dead.
[FRAME 3]
Priest: The gods don't answer "simple questions," and I have no way to ask. I communicate through rituals and offerings.
Captain: Alright, so do a ritual where you ask how happy Terry is.
[FRAME 4]
Priest: It could take a lifetime to devise the ritual, if such a thing is even possible!
Ranger: Gotta be honest, those guys breeding faster horses are looking better the longer you talk.
