Again, we recall the encounter of the peasant with the officer. The officer keeps the conversation going. Often this kind of chat reveals some strategic information about the attitudes and inclinations of the populace, particularly of the village-dwellers who often support the guerrillas. The peasant is happy that the conversation drifts towards religious beliefs. Both are non-Catholic, Pentecostal. Maybe they find some common ground. In any case, it is better to talk about "the things of God" (las cosas de Dios) than to be asked about suspicious movements in the mountains, neighboring villages and such things.
