Interesting. I didn't remember you paying so much attention to 'cosmic copyright' (sorry if the term sounds off, I'm not sure how else to describe it). Interestingly, this runs completely counter to Mark Twain's criticism of YHWH ('...could have made every one of them happy, yet never made a single happy one; [...] who created man without invitation, then tries to shuffle the responsibility for man's acts upon man'). I.e. you support the absolute right of a creator to do whatever it pleases to its work, even if said work is sapient. Am I correct?
