No, that doesn't matter. Things you do with religion matter - if you're a dick about it or not - but it's not weighted any differently than regular dick behavior.

[That second question, though, that's...something he's never thought about before. Does he have beliefs he can't prove?]

I think... [mmmm, let him gather his thoughts for a moment] I think that there are moral truths, and that our system has completely failed in trying to quantify them. We've tried to make an objective, numerical system: everybody who steals a loaf of bread loses twelve points, for example. But I don't believe that human action can ever be so black-and-white. It is different if you do it to feed your family. But that's not the kind of thing anyone could ever prove, so...is that what you mean?
