| Anya: | Not so long ago people were burnt at the stake for writing this sort of stuff. |
| Carlos: | Christianity is strong enough to survive criticism. |
| Devani: | One measure of the health of a religion, in my view, is the extent that it tolerates criticism. Intolerant religions are ultimately unhealthy. Religions which are strong won't be troubled by the ramblings of various critics. |

| Carlos: | Yeah, but the line between fantasy and fact often becomes blurred by faith. |
Faithful Lambs
