I actually agree with you. Note where I cited preconventional thinking (a psychology term) to describe this. Steve doesn't understand faith at a high level (no offense), so I took the meaning and purpose of faith down to the very basic primal level (I also cited this). Higher reasoning failed, so I went with basic positive/negative reinforcement and punishment explanations in an attempt to explain on his level of understanding of faith.
