I lived with a roommate big into the concept of Elijah. Being raised atheist, I'd never heard of it. So every meal, one extra place setting. It was odd, but there were 5 of us at a large dining room table, so not a huge deal. Because we had a lot of oddball friends, sometimes people showed up unannounced, and we always had a place for them to sit. I thought aloud, "well, that was convenient, but what if Elijah showed up?"

"How do you know that wasn't Elijah?" he'd retort.
