If you.believe in Poe, and he exists, you get to be Montresor. If you believe in Poe and he does not exist, you lose nothing.
If you do not believe in Poe and he exists, you will be Fortunato. If you do not believe in Poe and he doesn't exist, you lose nothing.
Isn't it better to believe in Poe? You do know what happened to Fortunato, don't you?

Aaron is just upset because he sold his soul to Longfellow.

Except Poe wrote this as a work of fiction.
Did the characters believe Poe was real, and if a character did not believe it does that mean that Poe did or did not exist?
This really goes more into the territory of
Six actors in search of a play. Or is it five actors? Or does it even matter?

Fortunato gets buried in a wall doesn't he?
I have faint memories of The Cask of Admontillado.
Nice rewording of "Pascal's Goofy-As-Hell Wager"!
I believe in Poe, Edgar Allen that is.

You know whats really funny? Montresor means "my treasure" in French.
Poe had a really messed up sense of humor.

whether or not people believe in Poe, he existed. This fact cannot be changed if I believe the opposite.
whether or not people believe in God, He exists. The fact cannot be changed whether people believe the opposite.

That doesn't make any sense. How does Christianity or the beliefs of Christians relate to "The Cask of Amontillado"??

The main problem is in the believing, or the lack there of.
If you believe, then okay, if you don't then you don't. Pretending to believe is not believing...hell it not even delusional.

But if you believe in Jesus Christ and obey the Gospel, you will inherit everything. And if you don't you will have an eternal night of torment and no reprieve from constant pain. It is YOUR choice.
