Had Harry not hired his own assassin the point would have been moot. She wouldn't have had them. Had Harry not gone on constantly in the books up to Changes about being turned in to the evil thrall of the nasty Queen Mab just maybe she might have been more forthcoming. But you know Butcher. /shrug/Murphy had to find out what the current Harry was like and some irritating probing was part of that.
Not Harry’s responsibility to delegate.Was that written down somewhere?
She wasn't even a Custodian of the Swords, she appointed herself that after Harry "died." That was part of the problem, since she wasn't official, she had no insight as to when they should be used or who should get one to be a Knight.Harry told her we’re the swords were and she handled his testament and so on. That is appointment from Harry and good enough for me.
Shiro was a Baptist. Stating first that I am an atheist, and as such this is merely amusing from an outsiders point of view, the Bible would seem to disagree about what the White God would put up with. From Exodus Chapter 20Given that quote it seems that he might have a problem with Odin snatching up Murphy.Uriel has yearly lunches with Vadderung. They might have talked about it.
Oh I disagree, by his very nature and actions, Shiro's life screams Christian as much as if not more than even Michael.He was a good man and his moral compass was aligned with the swords but that does not mean he was a Christian.
Butters still believes in God, supposedly Sanya does not by his own definition.. Are you saying that Michael was in agreement with Vadderung? Or Shiro for that matter.Michael was the last true Christian knight for now. Shirt was nominally Christian but I do not think it was his defining feature.
We don't know that Uriel is the head guy in charge of that. Raphael seemed to have a lot to do with Michael.One of those guys.
Not quite the same a lot of the "Christmas" traditions are adapted from pagan Scandinavian and Germanic traditions so it makes perfect sense that on of the All Father Odin's guises is Father Christmas or Kris Kringle.. We aren't sure how much Butters practiced his religion, it was never a subject he and Harry spoke much if at all about.For some reason my iPhone corrupted Sanya into Santa.
That could be, but it leads to another question, does Sanya get to go to Heaven? He is a Holy Knight but he also claims to be an atheist? Actually he appears more agnostic to me, but still.There are no Christian knights of the cross anymore. Butters is a Jew who has more faith in Star Wars than Christ and Uriel is OK with that. Retrospectively the last Christian knight made a lot of choices that were more in line with Vadderung than with the swords so that is probably the reason Odin could claim her and Uriel agreed.
But the subject of Murphy's faith is important in this context, another question, did she have a choice?
What points to her being Murphy? That because she died a heroic warrior and was sent to Valhallahow both Jim and Gard talk about it. This is not some sort of zombie or black court vampire construction. It is her soul in it.
she will remain Murphy? Maybe that part of her, but she was a more complicated person than that.
Also as many like to say, Jim likes to make Harry and the reader suffer.. What better way to make both Harry and her fans suffer big time, but for her body to come back, but her mind totally changed..
Either Murphy is Murphy or she's a monster of Vadderung's creation. It would do my heart good to know that my mother was somewhere swilling beer with someone even if I was forbidden to see her. Which is different then not knowing and having hope replace certain knowledge.Everything points to her being Murphy, it is a real afterlife. Just not the catholic one.
