As for Sam, he had from the very start had ideas of his own, thank you very much. When he was five, Howard had read the Adam and Eve and serpent story to him. Sam was at that point obsessed with defining, in all narratives, who was “the bad person,” and so Howard asked him whether in that story there was a bad person.
Sam thought about it very gravely. “Yes,” he said, his face serious.
“And who was that?” asked Howard.
“God,” said Sam.
