    This segment was filmed around the early to mid 2000s. The camera fades in on Bob and Larry, with Bob's anger slowly rising after reading one of the atheist written letters prior to this. Larry is trying to keep Bob from blowing a fuse. This is their tenth or so take of the day.

    Bob (seething with rage): Hi kids, and welcome to VeggieTales. I'm Bob the Tomato.

    Larry: "And I'm Larry the Cucumber—"

    Bob: "And we're here to answer your unforsaken questions!"

    Larry: "That's....right."

    camera cuts to Bob twitching his eye, his anger steadily steaming. Seeing how tense Bob looks and sounds, Larry leans in Bob's direction.

    Larry (whispers to Bob, concerned): "Um, Bob? You okay?"

    Bob (whispers to Larry, harshly): "Yes, Larry. I'm fine."

    He was lying as not to alarm Larry too much, especially with the anger that's slowly boiling inside of him. Bob tries to compose himself. Larry maintains a happy go-lucky smile for the kids who may be watching.

    Bob: "Anyway, we've got what's hopefully a NORMAL letter from Nathaniel in Yankton, South Dakota."

    Larry: "Hey, Nathaniel."

    Bob: The letter reads, "Dear Bob and Larry, if you truly think God made us special then why hasn't he done a goddamn thing? And to think he sacrificed his life to let us roam this shit show you call Earth is another fabricated story made up by the government. God's nothing more than a ploy to gain the trust of those who still believe in the American dream. Yet in reality that dream is f[censored]king dead! And the same way that dream is dead, I also believe that God himself is dead! So, still think Jesus made us special? Guess what? He didn't! F[censored]k you, f[censored]k the bible and f[censored]k Jesus!"

    Larry's shocked at the profanity Nathaniel's letter. Bob's furious at the disdain this person has for God, clearly offended and appalled at what he just heard. His anger has now reached a new boiling point.

    Larry (shocked): "WOAH!"

    Bob lowers the letter from his face, looking sternly at the camera to address Nathaniel.

    Bob (pissed): "What?"

    Larry: "Now, wait a minute Bob—"

    Bob: "You wanna say that in front of my face?"

    Larry: "Why don't we just talk about this—"
