Are we to believe that he's here in the midst of us....our eternal souls in terrible peril...and he figures showing us a picture of bigfoot will assuage his sense of culpability or empathy as we face the flame..even if we don;t believe or he fails to convince? That he can get away from his own conscience and humanity by saying the words in our presence...and calling it a job done?
As much as I enjoy the notion as a foundation for an endless line of jokes at his expense, it;s unlikely that he's -that- sort of a terrible douche.
Empathy? What empathy?
And yes, I think his pea-sized conscience is assuaged by saying the words and calling it good. Perhaps you are a much nicer or more charitable person than I am, but I actually do think he is that sort of terrible douche. Tertullian. I stand by that.
