The Will Of God

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Sure, but so what? How does that help explain anything in TBotNS? No one has questioned that there is evil---I have said that Wolfe clearly believes it is real. The question is to what extent "actors" think they are doing evil and doing good vs to what extent they are actually doing either, and how that fits into this will of God---which, by the way, is inaccessible to us. 

If it were accessible, it would be known. If it were known, it would be both acted upon and resisted. Do the Hierogrammates know the will of God?

i don't relate to the standard question, "why does God allow evil?"  
either.

it just HAS to BE.

look at the yin yang symbol as another basic, perfect symbol of it.

it's NOT the duality of it.
it's the dance.

sounds trite, but it's true.

and WHO are WE to judge?
