Peter:
>Why do you have do _drag_ distinctions between bodhisvattva-hood and
>arhats into this?
I haven't even mentioned arhats, since they have very little in common with saints in the context I'm writing about, Malkioni or otherwise.
>Do Christain Saints postpone heaven to help us poor common sinners?
No, and that's exactly my point: Malkioni saints are _not_ christian saints.
>The Malkioni State of Grace is Solace not bloody Nirvana!
Read the words: 'bodhisattva-like', not 'bodhisattvas', it's an analogy, not an equation.
>So what if the Souls of the Malkioni are for the most part
>undetectable by magic after death?
Not 'for the most part', all the time, everywhere. That's kind of the point of Solace - it's a safe haven.
Me:
>what sacrifice could be greater than the great prophet's:
>he shed his divinity and became a man in order to bring the Law to
>the witless mortals.
Peter:
>Prince Hrestol who broke every Law in the Book of Law to bring Solace
>to the witless mortals burdened by the Yoke of Legalism.
Yes, that's an equally big sacrifice (although my question was mainly rhetorical).
