In this chapter, Leonard continues his argument against the existence of a god. He argues that his faith in God will not change, even if the world does not exist. He reminds the reader that he is a priest and that he serves God. He asks the reader whether he has ever heard of "freedom," the idea that one can think for one's own self. Leonard says that he has believed in God all his life, and that the form his faith takes will never change. If there is no God, then where does our prayers go? His wife's journal describes the founder of a holy sol temple as an impostor who pretended to be holy sol, but who did not know whether or not people were saved from the god they believed in. He felt that an overpowering day was madness, and he did not want salvation for his company for his people. He does not pray for anything, and so, his duty is to answer the question of whether his prayers have been losing their power.
