Gone Quiet - S3-E7

Abby Bartlet: [Referring to her broken ankle] I was hiking, Oliver. I was hiking. Are you really that much an enemy of nature?

Oliver Babish: I hear ya.

Question: I don't really understand Josh's comment to Mary Marsh on TV ("Lady, the god you pray to is too busy being indicted for tax fraud."). Could someone please explain it to me?

Answer: It's in reference to the many televangelists and revival ministers usually associated with the right-wing that have been convicted of tax fraud (Jim Bakker and Tamy Faye being a more famous set). Occasionally, the more unscrupulous ministers have bilked millions from believers all in the name of God.
