And the law of action says it does not matter what you say you believe. Your real beliefs are revealed by how you act. You can lie with your words. You cannot lie with your actions. As my pastor told me when I was in high school, he said, Rory, if you want to know what somebody believes in, you don't even have to ask them. All you have to do is look at their calendar and their checkbook, because whatever they spend their time on and whatever they spend their money on, that's what they believe in the most.
