Arlo to Michael: I'm really not sure what your desperation is with faith and theism, and some need to get them to apply to everything, but its way off the MOQ. And as such there is little reason to go on.
Andre: 'You are never dedicated to something you have complete confidence in. No one is fanatically shouting that the sun is going to rise tomorrow. They * know* it's going to rise tomorrow. When people are fanatically dedicated to political or religious faiths or any other kinds of dogmas or goals, it's always because these dogmas or goals are in doubt. The militancy of the Jesuits he somewhat resembled is a case in point. Historically their zeal stems not from the strength of the Catholic Church but from its weakness in the face of the Reformation. It was Phaedrus' *lack * of faith in reason that made him such a fanatic teacher. That makes more sense.'
