Well, you already know I disagree with such caricatures, so agree to disagree.
No -- his own avatar expressed doubts about his own mission, according to your own holy book. How is it that this one segment of a triune god doesn't understand his place in affairs? And why might his doubts be fair but human doubts be cause for punishment?
I don't agree to disagree. I really want an answer to this conundrum, in plain English, or if you have none, to simply admit that, again in plain English. This is not my dilemma. Explicate this.
