I don't know anything about God. [in very simple, all-encompassing terms. he doesn't know God personally, and he's not sure he buys into the whole God thing] But the Innocence is alive and sentient, each piece passed down among the Black Priests until it finds the one conformer that can synchronize with it. The only way out, one way or another, is death.

There are only so many questions you can ask in that situation.
