This episode is brilliant because there is a depth to Frank's sermon (on the cruelty of God begetting true faith) that sets it leagues apart from the standard drivel spouted from television show pulpits by Christians and non-Christians. The congressman speaks the truth in spite of being motivated purely by political necessity / desire to manipulate his constituents. I loved that it was such a theologically correct load of bullshit. Played by Kevin Spacey with layered perfection.
I wanted to liken it to something sexually complicated, and then I wanted to liken it to a Thanksgiving dish popular in some parts of the world: Turducken?
Suffice it to say it was a triple rapture. For the writing, for the performance, for the performer.
