I'd say that he probably did say no...also that his faith was a good source of his soul-searching but might have also contributed to his faulty idealism and ultimate downfall.

I was always very idealistic too, and quite a loner and wanderer who had the same sorts of feelings about just going off with myself into the middle of nowhere...but I reached all my epiphanies right where I was in the middle of normal life...travelling the world only confirmed them to me.
