Summary:
John tries to explain the religious views of the people on Reservation, but there are no words to describe them. Mustapha pulls out The Holy Bible. John asks Mustapha why all of these books are band. Mustapha tells him they are too old. No one would understand them because God doesn't exist. Mustapha reads the books and then explains why there is no God today. Mustapha believes that there probably is a God. John asks, "Isn't it natural to think there's a God?" Mustapha says Well it may have been instinct in the past, but in Brave New World they create feelings by certain conditioning. John brings up the point that being in solitude often brings up thought of a higher power. Mustapha says they got rid of solitude. John then says that maybe God is punishing today's society. Mustapha realizes that from John's point-of-view of this state of society now is bad.
