Sarcastic Title
 These Words Are True and Faithful / int_22294000
comment
Sarcastic Title: Many of the characters either lie or believe others' lies. Also, "these words are true and faithful" is from the Book of Revelation, and the book is critical of Christianity.

Romanticism Versus Enlightenment
 These Words Are True and Faithful / int_351e7cf9
comment
Romanticism Versus Enlightenment: Team Enlightenment includes Sam (major character) and Rob, Nathan, Tracy, and Jack (secondary characters), while Team Romanticism includes Ernie (major character) and Cassilda, Danny, Saul, and the pastor (secondary characters). Debbie is initially a fence-sitter but eventually joins Team Enlightenment. The last chapter hints at a reconciliation of the two.

No Guy Wants an Amazon
 These Words Are True and Faithful / int_44796d0f
comment
No Guy Wants an Amazon (gay version): Sam takes Ernie to a party thrown by a partner at Sam's firm and his wife, a radiologist. Ernie is upset that everyone at the party is a doctor or a lawyer except him. This is the point at which Ernie starts to fall out of love with Sam.

White-and-Grey Morality
 These Words Are True and Faithful / int_58962105
comment
White-and-Grey Morality: The good guys are good. The bad guys haven't thought things through (Cassilda), let their hearts (or other body parts) rule their actions (Ernie), behave in manners that at first seem shocking but are ultimately harmless (Michael), or could plausibly blame at least some of their issues on overly indulgent parenting (Danny). The only unambiguously evil character is Pastor Mandeville.

Straight Gay: A secondary character accuses Sam and Ernie of being "not really gay." Sam responds by sarcastically apologizing for "not following the one true way."

comment
Red Oni, Blue Oni: Ernie is impulsive, boasts of relying on his gut feelings, and interprets events as signs that some things are just meant to be. Sam is methodical and interprets events as the workings of probability. At one point, Ernie accuses Sam of sticking his "rational, rigorous mind where it doesn't belong."

 These Words Are True and Faithful / int_8b60a09b
comment
Capitalism Is Bad: Parodied. Two directly opposed factions in a political dispute blame each other on white gay men and capitalism. Later, Danny dismisses Ernie's common-sense advice on how to be a financially solvent adult as capitalist brainwashing.

comment
Christianity is Catholic: Averted. Ernie, while nonobservant, identifies as a Catholic and is shocked to learn that the evangelical Protestant denomination in which Sam was raised does not consider Catholics even to be Christians.
