I'm betting the sheep doesn't think that 'Gee, I believe in Santa Claus, so regardless of the bad wolf, I'm getting a grand reward after the wolf eats me.'
And I'm betting you can't prove that contention.
You have know way of knowing what that sheep or wolf thinks - but thank you for taking the bait.
What you think about, you do ... what you do, you become. In a nation where anything goes ... eventually, everything will. We're almost there.
