      Then Morgoth turned upon Húrin, and he said: 'Fool, little among Men, and they are the least of all that speak! Have you seen the Valar, or measured the power of Manwë and Varda?
      Do you know the reach of their thought? Or do you think, perhaps, that their thought is upon you, and that they may shield you from afar?'

      'I know not,' said Húrin. 'Yet so it might be, if they willed. For the Elder King shall not be dethroned while Arda endures.'

      Yes indeed you did. And not just came back, but came back triumphantly.

      And not just the atheistic arguments............

      At what point did you people start mistaking this for a spam thread?
      "He is no fool who gives what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot

      Matthew 8:26-27

      He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then He got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
      The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this this? Even the wind and the waves obey Him!"

      My presence in it may have something to do with that.

      Less prudish than the Victorian era, when Phillip Schaff decided that some of Clement of Alexandria's writings against pagans/heretics were too racy to translate into English (though printing it in Latin was acceptable).

      Makes sense, after all, Mossy's Original Pin is quite vicious.
