Well, *I* do !!

Also if I do not accept the idea of a god and "the antithesis of a
god" as
black and white; *especially* in Glorantha. Are you saying that the
Devil
is 100% non-divine in essence? That is an absurd implication !
Or, are you willing to give me a good definition of "god", so that I
can
work out the mathematical opposite of such, and thereby understand
your
concepts with full awareness?

Yes it would : I'm thinking of the very gods that the Devil (as
cosmic
Entropy) destroyed, and whose names are *lost* ...
(although I should have been clearer about the identity of the
destructor)
Which is why I used the phrase : "I *suspect* that ..." rather than "It is true that ... "
