Mulder: And why would God allow this to happen. Why do bad things happen to good people? Religion has masqueraded as the paranormal since the dawn of time to justify some of the most horrible acts in history. Scully: I was raised to believe that God has His reasons, however mysterious. Mulder: He may well have His reasons but He seems to use a lot of psychotics to carry out His job orders. |
That's Mulder, every time something remotely religious is involved Mulder gets sarcastic.
Lying to Scully about the suspect he'd been chasing: He has some nerve rushing her on the phone so he could watch a porno movie. What his tape collection isn't enough for him?
Gee could Mulder be less helpful? Don't you just want to smack him? First, he smugly reminds Scully that the case is hers, then he comes up with his religious wacko theory.
Almost every time a case deals with religion Mulder goes into scoffing mode, being openly scornful with the requisite eye-rolling that accompanies it. It's not an attractive mode either.
Pot, kettle, black: Mulder has some nerve telling Scully that she's being willfully mislead and that she should step down because she was losing her objectivity. Actually, it's beyond nerve it's passing into the realm of unmitigated gall. How many times has Mulder ditched Scully to run off half-cocked because someone told him that they knew someone who knew someone who may have information on his sister? He's lucky Scully didn't slap him.
