Hakkai doesn't believe in God.

Hakkai is a philosopher. He only believes what can be proven though logical thought.

Not that he doesn't like the idea of an all-seeing, benevolent God. It's the Problem of Evil that always makes him lose faith.

How can an all-seeing, all-knowing, all-good and all-powerful God stand to see His Children in so much pain and suffering? Theologists that come up with theories Hakkai manages to blow holes in them using the power of the Catechism.

So. Hakkai doesn't believe in God.

But every so often, he prays.

Because it's nice to think that you're never really alone.
