Dialogue

Mary: Is there a God?

Frank: I don't know.

Mary: Just tell me.

Frank: I would if I could. But I don't know. And neither does anybody else.

Mary: Roberta knows.

Frank: No. Roberta has faith and that's a great thing to have. But faith's about what you think, feel. Not what you know.

Mary: What about Jesus?

Frank: Love that guy. Do what he says.

Mary: But is he God?

Frank: I don't know. I have an opinion. But that's my opinion. I could be wrong. So why would I screw up yours? Use your head. But don't be afraid to believe in things either.
