But it can't be stopped, Bill...
I like to think of it starting out as just one cute little Mogwai. Then it got big and bad. Now it rages throughout the forum, spawning evil clones wherever it touches water. Only sunlight can stop it, but that would cause the crumbling of the entire Barrow Downs.
I'm glad to hear you're dreaming about it. You have performed masterfully running about all the different threads, constantly offering new posts. I feel a bit flummoxed myself, right now.
For anyone interested, here is a
small collection of some of the
recent threads dealing with this wiley topic:
Eru Letting Melkor Go
Inherent Evil?
Of Evil, Free Will and Fate
Melkor - Evil by Will or Nature?
Original Sin in Arda
