So, i was at a used car lot the other day and had the strangest experience. The car salesman said he had this car that he sincerely believed everyone should drive. He said this car had a manual that he, as the salesman, abides by. The car had no engine so I said logically this car cannot run. He said that I only needed to have faith and it would run. I looked in the manual and saw that it said it runs on grass. I questioned him on this and he said everything in the manual isn't supposed to be taken literally. He showed me how generations of people have bought this car in the past, although none had actually ever driven it. When i told him I didn't believe the car was worthwhile, he said he had pity on me, and I left.
When logic doesn't apply, I am supposed to have faith. When things don't add up, I am not supposed to read too literally into what is said. The masses believe in it, so should I. When I don't believe, those who do pity me.
Was this a religious experience?
