There's NO explaining piety:

"Yes, I believe in the bible. Except the bit about the creation. And perhaps that bit about Noah and the flood. Oh, and some of those miracles are too silly to be taken seriously and that story of a virgin giving birth is too daft to laugh at.

"So too is that account of someone rising from the dead. I ask you, who believes in zombies and ghosts, these days?

"But, yes. I believe in the bible."
