*** This makes the most sense by a long chalk. Vincent's "it's just a joke" backpedal is because he wasn't expecting her to freak the fuck out the way she did, and he gives every indication of having enough of a grasp on reality to be aware that 99.9999999% of people would absolutely ''not'' react well to being told they were killing innocent human beings the whole time they thought they were defending themselves from dangerous creatures. That said, it [almost] certainly doesn't mean Heather is a mass murderer of innocent people, but his "They look like monsters to you?" ''does'' strongly imply that Vincent, as a prominent member of the cult, does not see those same entities as being evil or a threat.

He pulls a gun on her, explicitly says he's prepared to kill her, and then the scene ends and the next time we see him his leg is broken. Maybe he missed, maybe the gun jammed, maybe something else, but the scene where he threatens Heather with the gun is pretty clearly telling us that he DID try to kill her and failed.

** Because it's a video game, and you watch her do it. It's not a theory, when Vincent says "They look like ''monsters'' to you?", he's a) clearly surprised to hear it and b) his emphasis on the word "monsters" implies that whatever he assumed Heather was seeing in that layer of Silent Hill's fluctuating reality, "monsters" wasn't it. He recovers and backpedals by saying it's just a joke, but the fact that he's a fast-thinking con man calls his dialogue into question, it's just a matter of whether the "monsters" line was genuine, or the "it was just a joke". The reason everybody believes it is because it makes perfect sense that the monsters she sees don't look like monsters to anyone else and Silent Hill is explicitly a normal town on its "uppermost" layer and people can stray into deeper ones if they're called to do so. It's natural to connect those two ideas for the "Heather sees cultists as monsters" theory. You're assuming that the appearances are the only things that change and not the behavior of the afflicted. If they really are human and Heather is seeing them, they're being affected by Silent Hill and the suicidal will of Alessa. For all we know, the monsters Heather encounters really are human, but as soon as Alessa's powers hit them, they're driven to try to kill her because Alessa wants Heather to die before she gives birth. We don't know, and the ambiguity leaves it open to speculation. Choosing to be smug and superior for ''not'' buying into a popular theory just because the monsters in a video game don't run from the player is basically just bad-faith criticism of video games in general.

The risk of investing 90's money into an easily lost or damaged homing beacon is just too high, especially since Harry already has experience with the radio and other electronics failing in the presence of the Otherworld. To him, it'd be like giving her a big emergency flare that ''might'' be able to reach him in a real crisis, but can ''definitely'' be used to discover her whereabouts.

** Heather doesn't have a baby bump because she isn't pregnant. It's never stated that the god is "born" in the same way as a human. It's likely that it doesn't even have a physical form until it's "emitted" from the body. It emerges from Heather's mouth, which would imply it was in her stomach, but I'm fairly sure she would have noticed something that large in her stomach before and sought medical attention. It's also possible that the aglaeophotis functions by forcing the god into a physical form before it's ready. In this case, it ended up as a lump of flesh in her stomach which she proceeds to vomit up.

*** To directly quote Dahlia in SilentHill1 VideoGame/SilentHill1 : "I was shocked to hear that the Seal of Metatron was being used." So yes, it is mentioned. Otherwise, OP, I'm not seeing a problem? Alessa used the Seal of Metatron in order to seal away the nightmare she was accidentally inflicting on the town, which would be in her interests. Heather is Alessa, and Valtiel (supposedly) drags Heather away to revive her when she's killed - how is this a conflict of interest? If the Seal was a symbol Alessa used and it's now on Valtiel, who is helping Heather... I'm not seeing what the issue is. Regardless, like the troper above mentioned, the Seal of Metatron is actually a neutral symbol that gives power regardless of the intentions of the one using it. Although, apparently in 3, it's actually completely meaningless when it comes to stopping God...

*** The "they're actually innocent people" thing sort of reminds me of the "[[FerrisBuellersDayOff Ferris Bueller is a figment of Cameron's imagination]]" theory: people latch onto the mind-blowing aspect of it, but they don't give it any actual, y'know, ''thought''. When you do, you quickly realize that the "monsters" of Silent Hill really will attack and kill you if you let them, none of the other "monsters" panic or flee for their lives when you bludgeon one of their number to death with a steel pipe, and that a bunch of uniformed "monsters" never show up in police cruisers to put a stop to your murderous rampage at any point. They look like monsters, yes, but they also BEHAVE like monsters. It gets a good shock out of Heather, but it holds very little water as a legitimate answer for what the monsters are and what they're doing in the town. All told, "Vincent's just fucking with her" sounds like a much more credible theory.
