: But what if you're ALL wrong?
Then, I guess, some of us allowed ourselves a little crutch that made taking the pains and joys of life more bearable and easier to process, made it make a little more sense. And if it was all wrong, if there's nothing after all this, then... hell... why not belie... why not have a good idea about something?
It's kinda nice, sometimes.
In the end, that's the cool little nugget under all of it... the admission that this is a movie, that movies are unrealistic or just guesses a lot of the time, these are just Kevin's ideas on the subject, take from them what ya want.
He believes in God... the Christian God. If you're running with something else, that's cool too. Hell, lets not forget that Jay and Bob came into the story from the beginning because they were chasing a beautiful little fiction that they wanted to be a part of.
If belief, if having ideas, if thinking..." hell, there's more than just this "... if that's wrong, then it's moot that it's wrong, because there's nothing other than this... and we shape this world into something we can have a little fun with and if a concept of God is part of that... it's no more right or wrong than anything else.
If it's right... that is, if religions have been on the right track, missing the target but hitting the tree... oh, man. That's the good stuff.
it's just more fun that way
