I am really not trying to incite some sort of outcry here, nor am I flame-baiting.
I was just wondering about Mr. Moorcock's religious affiliations. It seems to me that, though now an aetheist, Mr. Moorcock, may have been Christian, Catholic. Also, it appears to me that perhaps the Multiverse was created by one being, or two. That the Lords of Chaos and Law are merely aspects of this/these creators.
Is it a human trait to look for an all-powerful being to explain away any problems or is it that a God really does exist and he has inputted our varying beliefs.
I myself was a passing Protestant in my youth (while attending a C of E school) though obly until I was 6 and realised that if there was a single God, he could not be described in the simplistic terms we were taught with. That though there may be an enormous God, it was stupid to label him with a singular title, especially when we had two practicing Muslims in my year, surely, if they called God Allah, there must be a difference?
It is a perplexing idea. Are there any people on this board with particularly strong religious beliefs?
I always found theological debate a fascinating subject, for example, it seems more probable to me that any God, is more liekly going to be as Von Bek describes him: Certainly, he is more complex than the clearly defined benevolence of the R.E teachers of High Schools.
I can understand the point of the Hindus ( out of the religions that believe in a single all-powerful God) that their must be many seperate aspects of God. Surely, this timeless, transcendant being, must be more complex and ubiquitous than we can concieve and comprehend of. Therefore, for us to have any grasp of the sheer size and power of this God, we must break him into different Avatars. Indeed, the Eternal Champion could indeed be an Avatar of God. Indeed, if he the Eternal Champion is the servant of the Balence, then the balence must be God.
Leastways, I would be most interested in what people have to say. I hope I have not offended anyone by writing these words, I merely wish to provoke a stimulating debate, not to offend or hurt anyone. I apologise profusely, in advance if any hurt is sustained.
