Taylor and Robicheaux, unlike Rebus, do not for a moment consider changing to another denomination, and neither makes much attempt to justify or rationalise his beliefs--for the most part they are simply what they grew up with, although neither hesitates to abandon or ignore those aspects of their faith that they find particularly
