Sir Cedric might say and think he's lost faith but he actually still has tremendous faith in the righteousness of his actions. He doesn't "go through the motions", he actually does what he does because it's who he is deep inside. Doing the right thing, thinking/knowing it won't change anything, actually makes him a better paladin than other paladins who think their actions register.However, I can image that it depends on your philosophical bend. Do you have to have faith in what you do or do you have to have faith in what you accomplish?Deontology looks at the inherent rightness of an action (not it's consequence) to determine it's worth. The opposite, teleology, states that one must look tot the consequences of one's actions before one can judge it's worth. Killing baby Hitler is okay with teleology while deontology would say that killing an innocent baby is wrong.</blockquote>
