#like do they think the Bible / kier's books are literal or just symbolism

[whereintheworldiskamalakhan]

So it was Helena laughing at the Kier forest masturbating story. Because it's not real and, as an Eagan, she knows that? Because laughing is what she knew Helly R. would do? She laughs at the story but the next morning, thinking she's alone, she goes to appreciate and show reverence to the Hollow and the waterfall. Because she thinks the story is actually true? Because she knows the story is just fantasy but still believes in the meaning and the symbolism?
