Of course in the end, Haze who deluded himself into believing himself an atheist finally blinded himself in order to see God. Aronofksy's 'Pi' was not unsimilar... in that director's story, an unbeliever who doesn't try to find God looks for something else and God finds him. Even 'The Believer' had something of a similar theme, too. The lead in Henry Bean's screenplay (based on a true story) went to the point of joining an anti-semitic hate group to deny God but like the other characters above, found that, for himself, God was inescapeable.

To excise G-d from Judaism is like excising the nefesh (soul) from the guf (body). Who liberated the Jews from Egypt? Who promised the land to Avraham? Judaism without G-d is obscenely self serving.
