Severian has never heard of Jesus\nChrist, and he himself has brought salvation (through destruction) to Urth.\nHow does that make him a Christian (please don't cite Wolfe's interview\nsince he isn't here to defend what he actually meant, and I think we'd\nagree that he is tricky)? Perhaps you are using Christian in the\nold-fashioned sense of being a good person, or \"one of us.\" I can't accept\nthat, having known many good people of other faiths (or none). I can accept\nSeverian as a Christ avatar, however. \n\n(This really belongs in the other group, doesn't it?)\n\nmantis,\n\nMay I have one of my four questions that didn't get used? Not the one about\nHy's scarf---it's easy to see that only straightforward questions work. You\ncan choose---want me to e-mail them?\n\n-alga-"
