RE: The Absolute Truth

March 21, 2013 at 1:00 am (This post was last modified: March 21, 2013 at 1:01 am by EGross.)

Ever see the movie or play "Harvey"? What harm was there in Elwood believing in Harvey? His best friend. He was happy. His life was fulfilled. And everyone loved Elwood. Elwood was the kind of person people wanted to be. And it was easy for him to do that. And his sister sometimes felt like she could believe in Harvey too. And Elwood showed Harvey to an unbeliever, who was converted and walked in his ways.

What's the harm?

He is a pooka. A supernatural being who only existed in Elwood's mind.

Harvey is a metaphor for all religious beliefs in a malevolent/benevolent powerful supernatural being.
