The atrocity of the Akallabêth - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I understand that, but I still feel a sense of corruption on Numenor's part. Also, if they screwed up and turned to Eru, why did Eru screw them over more than the Valar had ever done? He sank their island and killed the majority of the people. Unless Eru's messed up, Numenor surely wasn't an innocent player.

You're entirely supposed to; I never contradicted this. The entire Akallabêth stresses that the turning away of the Númenóreans from the Valar was one of the prime causes of their fate.

My opinions on this were stated earlier in this thread.
