He soon found that although it was preached that he would die if he went to the “Land of the Gods”, He was just fine. The quote, “It is absurd to take things on faith, without doubting or testing them in any way, and go on preaching that you really do have the answers,” (The Importance…) is relevant in the story because John believed what was fed to him as fact even though it was inaccurate.

He believed in doing the right thing and he was willing to fight for it. During the witch-hunts that affected us all, John tried with every ounce of strength he had to stop the court from going along with Abigail’s manipulations and lies, and in the process confessed to the court the truth of his lechery to make it known that Abigail was just pretending.
