... *Ahem*

Speaking as a Christian myself, I believe for the most part in both points presented by you both.

I believe that God is a being who, if he truly believed our desires were a mistake, would have removed them by now. He has the capabilities to do this as he is all-powerful. He could remove all the evils of the world if he wanted to, much like what the angels have done now in this RP, or he could wipe us all out and essentially push the reset button for life on earth. He's done it before after all, if not via the Great Flood, then by the Asteroid that killed the dinosaurs. (Yes, I'm both a believer of God and Evolution. Christian-Science for life.) He sees value in Desire, the source of all sin, as what could be considered a "necessary evil"...even if some do not see such value.

However, I also believe that, indeed, the Lord HAS changed...But in the exact opposite way that Warborn here suggests. Anybody remember the Old Testament? When God decided to take personal action whenever his children go against his teachings, Said Flood, Banishment of Adam and Eve from Eden, cursing Cain for killing Abel, the Tower of Babel, turning someone into a pillar of salt, the Plagues of Egypt, etc.

Once upon a time, God saw our problematic nature and decided to do something about it every time Humans commit a big no-no. But ever since Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected, suddenly he's not quite as active and into the matters of man any longer. Oh, I believe he still intervenes in subtle ways to help people, but he doesn't get directly involved in their affairs any longer.

But that's just my personal take on the Religion, the both of you are free to differ and believe what you wish. Plus I'm not a big fan of the whole constant religious debate thing and all that, so I'd appreciate leaving the debate here.

NOW THEN, To answer your question, Bishop: "Is God Gone?" I would rather not say, other than in a cryptic way: Yes and No at the same time. You'll understand it all in due time, but for now, all I can really say is that he's both still around and gone at the same time in this case.

As for your other question: Yes, a "Rebel" angel is very likely. ...In fact, we already have an idea of that.

As for me in regards of posts...I'm waiting on everyone else. XD
