Your arguement that the Devine are flawed

I hate to bring the subject of Chaos back to the boards, but this is one
case where it does apply for reasons other than spamming up the board.
While I am not confirming or denying that the Divine is flawed, I would
like to bring attention to your statement that Pentharian and Sartan are
flawed because they are polar opposites.

Studying Chaos, we learn that Good must exist for Evil to exist, and
vice versa. As polar opposites, Pentharian and Sartan bring the whole
into balance, both tirelessly struggling for their perfect visions of
Good and Evil. That they are in conflict does not make them flawless, at
least as far as I understand the word "flawless" to be defined.

Remember, without darkness, light has no meaning. Without War, Peace is
cannot be defined. Without Evil, there is no Good. So perhaps the Gods
are perfect manifestations of this Chaos we all have heard so much
about.
As for whether or not the Gods are capable of flaw, only Sarapis knows.
All we see are the actions they make clear to us. Example: I'm sure that
Sartan can talk directly to Twilight without using shouts and the public
board. Why do they use shouts and the public board then? I don't know, I
haven't asked them.
We can continue this with all sorts of semantic arguements, redefining
"flawed" and "imperfect" and "mistake" but remember, any arguement as to
whether the Gods are Perfect or Flawed is simply based on Faith. Or, in
other words, a lack of relevant information one way or the other.

The only conclusion I can really come to in my studies is that,
Sraetrevlis is the fairest Siren in all the land. She seduced me and I
refused to respond with bellwort. 😛


Word to the wise:
I have attempted to keep most the "regular" chaos arguements in this
post short to avoid public spamming of nature "chaos is about
destruction" "Nuh uh, only a sheep would say that" "yeah huh, stupid
head" "well you enslave them in choirs" "Well, lollipops are bad for
you, blah blah blah." This is merely a rebutal of the last post,
pointing our lack of enlightenment of the intentions of the Divine.

Penned by my hand on the 8th of Chronos, in the year 329 AF.
