our beliefs define us.

"i didn't tell you the truth when i said im not afraid to die."

"but you're going straight to heaven."

"that's what i believe, but i'm human."

"so you know you may be wrong. how could you do what you just did?"

"that's why we have beliefs. so we can still see the right thing to do when we're blinded with doubt and fear. our beliefs define us. if we lose them, who are we? He's truly merciful. God is all about love."

"punishment is proof of God, and no punishment is proof of God. ingenious argument."

"faith isn't an argument. i've been an idiot. i got this argument stuck in my head if everybody lies then trust is not only unfounded and pointless, it's fictional. but trust is not an argument that can be won or lost. maybe i just have to suspend my cynicism and believe. maybe it's time i took a leap of faith."
