Summary
Analysis
Miss Faust recalls a conversation with Dr. Hoenikker. He bet her she couldn’t say anything “absolutely true.” She told him “God is love,” to which he asked what both of those things were. Miss Faust insists to John that “God really is love, you know.”
Miss Faust’s sentiment is an example of a naïve yet comforting religious idea, which also characterizes Bokononism.
