Article of Faith, di Mike Resnick

Article of Faith è una bellissima storia di Mike Resnick, in lizza per il premio Hugo di quest'anno!

“I should never have told you to read the Bible,” I said. “That was a mistake.”
“Is the Bible true?” asked Jackson.
“Yes, the Bible is true.”
“Then is it not true for robots as well as for men?”
“No,” I said. “I am sorry, but it is not.”
“Why?” he said.
“Because robots don't have souls,” I answered.
“Where is yours?” asked Jackson.
“Souls are intangible,” I explained. “I cannot show mine to you, but I know that I possess it, that it is an integral part of me.”
“Why am I prohibited from offering the same answer?”
“You are making this very difficult, Jackson,” I said.
