Good post Anamensis. For an athiest (like myself) the fable makes no sense. Anyone who is at the banquet hall obviously acknowledges the existence of the banquet and the host. Personally, if a banquet appeared, and the host invited me in, I'd go in any door he told me to. But as you pointed out, all we have to go on is a 2000 year old rumor of a banquet. We see many people leave(die), with the fervent belief that they are going to a banquet, but not a single person ever returning with a toothpick in their mouth.

Ha ha! Yes, exactly!
