Some guys are born where they want to be - Catholic, Jewish, Baptist, whatever. My life has been more like one of those Outward Bound programs where they drop you far from home and you have to make your way back with a piece of string and a matchbook.Peter Robinson uses that quotation to begin a segment of his interview with Andrew Klavan:

The "belief" segment of the interview:

Having made the decision to believe I feel that I understand reality far better.Watch it here. The other parts of the interview can be found here.
