I'll just repeat what I said earlier: I think there's a Jesus in any
universe, and I think it's as good a Jesus no matter where. The Jesuses will
differ in their accidentals because the universes are different, but there
will be good enough Jesuses for all. In this view, of ourse, the Conciliator
is no Jesus, rather a red herring (combined with the stated fact that some
universes are better than others) to make believe some universes' Jesuses
are better than other universes' Jesuses. They aren't. The Jesuses are all
good. It's the universes that may not always live up to their Jesuses.
And each Jesus said something equivalent to 'Thou art Peter, and upon this
rock I will build by church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against
it'. But in some universes the original church may have disappeared from
sight. And any other attempt at building a church won't be endowed with the
same grace.
