So, "the way [a fictional entity] wants it is good enough for me". From
fiction, it is a trivial exercise to create contradiction, and I will
not waste anybody's time or bandwidth by going through that exercise.
What I want to know is what critical analysis has Sugien brought to bear
on the question of the existence of God (by whatever name). As far as
I can see (and I could well have missed it), s/he has offered none, in
which case I would invite Sugien to bring such evidence to this newsgroup.
