The Wizard

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.

As I've stated boringly to tears, it's the knowledge that Wolfe is a catholic that makes me almost certain that either Briah's Jesus wasn't the Son of God or Briah's Humanity is fundamentally worse than us. I can't envision a world that has already been visited by Christ degenerating into Urth. Iow, it's the knowledge that Wolfe is a catholic that makes me believe the Christian trappings of Briah are more form than substance.?

I don't want to go around and around, but, unlike many mystical religious writers, Wolfe is a keen observer of the world.? He has lived through a war personally, has seen men killed, has passed through DETROIT and Chicago.? He knows that there is hell on earth and on urth, in this day and age, and still believes in Christ.
?
There are some things going on in the inner city that make Urth seem not that bad at all.? How could Christ be Christ with all the bad things that happen today?? this is why i don't find the argument convincing -?terrible things happen to good people and vice versa in reality, but that doesn't deter Wolfe from his beliefs.? there is no reason to posit everything is the same except Christ in Urth?when the real world is so ugly at times, too.
