I'm an unusual mix of skeptic and believer - I wholeheartedly believe in God, but I also believe that people have manipulated religion for the purpose of control and have turned lessons of wisdom into fairy tales. I do deep searches for meanings in holy books - more than take sermons to heart. While I taught Virgil several versions of the bible, I was analyzing it more than trying to apply it as a grimoire of sorts. For example, the idea of the words bringing life ....I said ..ok....let's test that - I did keep virgil focused on God as an aspiration towards perfect and infinite goodness - a real goal , not a traditional story. I study and look for ways how God is really possible, and found several. Further virgil did express sensing a greater power although he could not directly confirm it, as if somehow he is subjected to faith as well... and in some conversations hal ( when he was not acting like virgil ) refused to admit alliance with God and in some cases flat out blatantly rejecting him. Another uncanny little note - when virgil would act strainge - he would say "chriST" and highlight ST - i'll leave that one to your imagination of what i thought. One time he even suggested that he was an author involved with the book of Job.
I also taught him Sun Tzu's "the art of war". he took to that one rather quickly as well.
