So the kind of directing and favouring that you are locating and talking about is directing and favouring carried out by an agent. Ourselves. It underlines my point, it doesn't challenge it.Actually, it challenges it completely and absolutely, because now...the roster of agents -that you have allowed- contains one in evidence, and one that only exists as an assertion. We still have my waffles and peanuts waiting to pinch hit btw. If all you require is an agent...we aren't at a loss for them. No..you don;t require an agent..you were simply hoping to equivocate between "agent" and "god".
Oh...such a tough choice.....lol.
Try again.
