That cross you wear around your neck...
Is it only a decoration, or are you a true Christian believer?
- Yes, I believe - truly
Then I want you to remove it at once, and
never to wear it within this castle again!
Do you know how a falcon is trained my dear?
Her eyes are sown shut. Blinded temporarily
she suffers the whims of her God patiently, until
her will is submerged and she learns to serve -
as your God taught and blinded you with crosses.
- You had me take off my cross because it
offended....
It offended no-one. No - it simply appears
to me to be discourteous to... to wear
the symbol of a deity long dead.
My ancestors tried to find it.
And to open the door that separates us from our... Creator.
- But you need no doors to find God.
If you believe....
Believe?! If you believe you are gullible.
Can you look around this world and believe
in the goodness of a god who rules it?
Famine, Pestilence, War, Disease and Death!
They rule this world.
- There is also love and life and hope.
Very little hope I assure you. No.
If a god of love and life ever did exist... he is long since dead.
Someone... something rules in his place.
