To get back on track my reading of Sir Sacks has been limited. I have only read reproduced transcripts with John Humphrys (In God We Doubt, not a great book from my perspective).-Here are a couple of quotes from Sir Sacks.
> To my mind, faith lies in the question. If you didn't have faith you wouldn't ask the questions [why do children suffer]. If I did not believe in a just and a law abiding God, I would not find injustice and human suffering worthy of question whatsoever. 
Sir Sacks justifies this with the non sequitur, that if there was no god then the universe would be indifferent to his existence.-and-> God is listening to me in a much more direct way in Judaism than in Christianity, because in Christianity you pray through a son of God. In Judaism we talk directly.-Nothing changes I suppose
