How we cite our quotes: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #4
"According to Father Haynes, if nonbeliever takes Holy Communion, he'll be damned for all eternity. Of course, being a nonbeliever damns me anyway, so I suppose it doesn't really matter, but I figure it's safer not to partake. Just in case I'm wrong about the whole God thing." (6.113)
We respect Jason's rejection of hypocrisy.
Quote #5
"God, no." (8.18)
Jason doesn't believe in god. He doesn't believe in leprechauns either, though he doesn't really lose any sleep over that one.
Quote #6
"Hey, if the water tower is god, what's the devil?"
"I don't think the Chutengodians have a devil."
"You gotta have a devil. You can't have a religion without a devil." (10.67-69)
