5HC : Thunder Always knocks twice

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.

I did in fact read that story first.

I am amazed you did not see any theology. 

Apart from the obvious classical allusions (Daedelus, Theseus etc),

 the references to Toltec gods and the Arthurian legends,

 not to mention the tilted crucifix,

 at the heart of this maze it is described as 

'a sketch in the faded black ink of God.'
