Life of Pi/WMG

Why this story will "Make you believe in God"
Spoilers ahoy. Think of the version of the story where. Unreliable Narrator used to its finest extent; everyone who's read this book is disgusted or at the very least made uncomfortable by this re-interpretation of everything we just saw. That is exactly Pi's point. Pi hates agnostics for how they live constantly in the midst of doubt. The second version of the story, where  is meant to disturb you and make you wish that it was just as simple as a boy and a tiger, but at the same time leave the reader unable to choose which. It forces the reader to realize how awful doubt is, and choose a side one way or the other - and theoretically the reader, like the Japanese investors, will pick the version with the tiger - and then to take the fact that Pi survived at all as proof of God's existence. Hence, this story will make you believe in God. Theoretically.
