(Pi prayed before he had a meal.)

Father: This lamb is exquisite. It's the best dish on the table. You're all missing out. You only need to convert to three more religions, Piscine, and you'll spend your life on holiday.

Brother: Are you going to Mecca this year, Swami Jesus? Or to Rome for your coronation as Popeius?

Mother: Yourself, don't be silly. Just like you like cricket, Pi has his own interest.

Father:??No, Gita. Ravi has a point, you know? You cannot follow three different religions at the same time, Piscine.

Pi（Young）:??Why not?

Father:??Because, believing in everything at the same time, is the same as not believing?in anything at all.

Mother: He's young, Santosh. He's still finding his way.

Father:??And how can he find his way, if he does not choose a path??Listen, instead of leaping from one region to the next, why not start with reason? In few hundred years, science has taken us farther in undertanding the universe, than the regilon has in ten thousand.

Mother: That is true. Your father is right. Science can teach us more about what is out there, but not what is in here.

Father:??Yeah. Some eat meat, some eat vegetable, I do not expect us to all to agree about everything, but I would much prefer they'll have you believe in something I don't agree with, than to accept everything blindly. And that begins with thinking rationally. You understand?

(Pi noded)

Father:?Good.

Pi（Young）:??I would like to be baptised.

The Writer: So, you're a Christian, and a Muslim.

Pi（Now）:???And an Hindu, of course.

The Writer:??And a Jew, I suppose.

Pi（Now）:???Well I do teach the course on the Kabala at the University. And why not?Faith is a house with many rooms.

The Writer:??But no room for doubt?

Pi（Now）:???Oh, plenty. On every floor. Doubt is useful. It keeps Faith a living thing.?After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it has been tested.?
