For those ignorant of Mr. Pratchett's fine book, gods live on belief, take away the belief, you take away the god. I'm thrilled somebody else has read this, he's such a great writer.

When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down happy. They told me I didn't understand the assignment. I told them they didn't understand life.
