That was pretty much the discussion in progress just before you arrived. 
I'm not convinced that God has no part in a plan involving the White 
Fountain; as the omnipotent, omniscient creator of the universe, He is 
responsible for its content and as such He kills everyone and destroys 
everything that passeth away. How he implements His will and whether the 
intermediaries are servants, sock puppets, or dupes is what we are 
sorting out.
