Perhaps I misunderstand. Afterall, the ways of the divine are often
incomprehensible to us mortals. And so I say this with the caveat that
it is nothing more than a mortal's worldview. Nonetheless, from such a
perspective it appears that the defence of Silverstorm in post 10499
would contradict the message in post 10127 wherein mortals are
criticized for not understanding the teachings of the divine. In fact,
it declares that ignorance of divine teachings are taken as a personal
affront and that "such ignorance is blasphemous to the extreme when you
take it upon yourself to be the subject matter expert of a religion". It
goes on further to say, "Before you engage in theological or
philosophical debates on the natures of the various Divine Realms, make
the effort to at least educate yourself with the teachings of a Realm's
Divine Patron. It will save you from the wrath of a Divinity should you
find yourself blaspheming against Him (-ed. note: or Her). I trust My
point is clear."

Eris has laid down criticism upon a mortal, claiming reasons and
criticisms synonymous to those in post 10127, and now the deity that
posted 10127 gives the impression of defending the opposite. If it is
Your will, please clarify my confusion so that I may be enlightened.


Humbly yours,
Saruman.
