The Father who listens to the praying is the Son who prays; and the Son who prays is also the Father who listens to the prayer."
In the short bit you quote here, with the elipses to show something omitted, is Lee really saying one thing then the opposite, or did he ask a hypthetical question then set out to answer by saying it is simply so?

Either way, as Westley said, mocking Vizzini, "Truly, you have a dizzying intellect." (The Princess Bride)
