_____“Be very suspicious of anyone who does not want free inquiry into a subject, because it might mean they are hiding something, they're trying to trick you into believing something that is nonsense, or, and this is probably more likely, they just want to believe in something regardless of whether or not it᾿s true.
_____“Let᾿s try something. Normally, you don᾿t think about god, or the Easter Bunny, or the Tooth Fairy, correct?”
_____“That᾿s right. As long as you don᾿t tell me Santa Claus isn᾿t real. I don᾿t know if I could live with being told one man can᾿t visit 150 million homes in one night, and to be able to do so he'd have to travel at speeds that would vaporize his reindeer, his sled, and him.”
_____Jim smiled. “Because you were never taught as a child to believe in them.”
_____“Uh huh.”
