| Mr Khan said: Huh, i actually read this one too I thought it was just something he made up off the cuff to satisfy the interrogaters. The religion allegory is certainly there, but my thoughts are that the first way has to be true, otherwise the entire book gives exactly the wrong message about religion, compared to, say, the buildup it gave for the role of spirituality in Pi's life earlier on. |
Pi was delusional throughout the book. For example the instance when he's afraid to debate with that atheist guy, because he knows that his beliefs will be defeated. The author simply unwillingly portrays the dangers of religion, and how simply ridiculous it is. Not to mention that he supports keeping poor animals in zoos, like sideshow attractions for humans.
