A: When Juan was a child he believed without a doubt about God, and what his mother had taught him about God. But after being on his own for awhile when he was missed the train he begged god for wings, he was in the sand storm, and when was sent to jail(and prison) and defend for himself. Having to go through numerous attacks, almost getting rapped he began losing faith but did not admit it still. But after he had broken out of prison he met Duel, a half Greek and half Turk man,
"it was the first time Juan had ever come close to a man that wasn’t Catholic, but readily admitted that he didn’t believe in God.”(page 218). Duel was the first friend Juan had that was not Catholic and did not believe in God but did believe in the devil. Duel took Juan under his wing and taught him how to play poker and taught him how to “The art of taking money from the greedy workmen who drank too much”. Also by hanging around Duel and making business in the basement of a whorehouse by then Juan realized he had lost his faith by completely and seems as if he gave up on God.
