Geoff:
This situation involving Harry suddenly reminded me of a Biblical 
parallel, that of Elijah. He had a stand-off with the prophets and 
priests of the cult of Baal, whose worship was supported by the king 
and queen (Ahab and Jezebel) in which with the power of God, he was 
able to defeat over eight hundred of these people.

Immediately afterwards, Jezebel sent a message threatening his life; 
Elijah had a sudden loss of confidence and ran away into the desert 
where he became depressed. Paraphrasing the story, God spoke to him 
and said "What are you doing here?" and he replied "I am the only one 
of your believers left and the followers of Baal are trying to kill 
me". God then said "You are not the only one. There are 7000 people 
in Israel who have not worshipped Baal." Harry may feel marked but, 
like Elijah, he has supporters, some of whom he may not know. (The 
full Elijah story is in the Old Testament 1 Kings 18 & 19).
