"Belief in Yahweh doesn't come with your mind. It comes with your heart. When you only believe in things you can see with your eyes and touch with your hands, it is idolatry... To have faith in Yahweh is to know that there is a realm of the spirit beyond the comprehension of our minds... Trusting in Molech... or trusting in your own wisdom and intellect - there's no difference in God's eyes. It's all idolatry."

"Hmm. Relationships between fathers and sons can be notoriously difficult, especially for two men who are as different as you and your father are."Yes, and he's also the king--that makes our relationship impossible."
