ERU WAS NOT IN ANY WAY SUBTLE EVER.* If you would please show me even one case of Eru doing anything the least bit subtle I will give you a hundred dollars. Bearing in mind that it's got to be something that Tolkien attributed to Him, not something that you just made up.

*Eru was subtle like three times, ever. All three of those time have to do with altering spiritual fates, which one could argue was not particularly subtle. Luthien died, Tuor didn't, and Dwarves started to live. These things don't count toward the above.
