So this guy couldn't admit that he's a sinner, that's why he had an alter ego (or alter body). That didn't sit well with me at all. One of the basic tenents of Christianity is recognizing that you are a sinner. That is ultimately why one needs Christ in the first place. If someone never sinned, they would never need Jesus. Moronica's theory was that the guy couldn't admit he was a sinner, so another being had to be created. If he didn't think he was a sinner, why was he ALWAYS praying? If he's not a sinner, he doesn't need God, and he doesn't need to pray. That aspect seemed ridiculous.

I still really liked this episode, but mostly for the character interactions. The plot, not so much.
