Hi Bodvar, Thiago, Mary & Maggie, LilaQs
<<<As Maggie's starting point was "evil", your rendition of the
natives' attitude to the evil spirit was most intriguing. "A force
uncontrolled by any law.....not the harm it does, but the potential
it has for doing it because he can do anything he wants". Sounds
much like the Medieval dread of chaos, but may also apply to the
Devil. However, if there's nothing resembling the almighty and
benevolent God then Anhanga must be part of the cosmic play, much
like the goddess of destruction of Hinduism, so there's no "problem
of evil".>>>
What about Judeo-Christian reference to a "Terrible" god?
(Terrible is an accurate translation of the Hebrew word "nora")?
