Panel 1:
A man with orange hair in a green shirt delivers a monologue:
Man: "If God knows the future, the future must already be determined. If the future is already determined, we have no control over our future actions. If we have no control over our future actions, we can't be judged based on them. So, either there is no Hell, or God is a jerk."
Panel 2:
Caption: "About ten seconds later..."
The same man now stands in Hell (red, jagged rocky walls), facing a red horned Devil.
Man: "Struck by lightning?"
Devil: "Struck by lightning."
Votey:
A distressed woman in Hell turns to the man.
Woman: "I was a baby killer. Why are you in Hell?"
Man: "Philosophy."
Woman: "Ewww..."
