I quite liked this. I was introduced to "The Ethics of Belief" fairly recently and I enjoyed the incorporation of its ideas here. Also, I am freakish in my disinclination to care much for the Feanorians, but you made them interesting to me (which doesn't happen often).

Thanks! In many cases I think Clifford is right, but he can be carried too far. Truth is very important, but not as important as other things like life and liberty.

Anyway, glad you enjoyed the Clifford and the Feanorians. they are hardly my normal cup of tea, so I am gratified that they seemed interesting to you.
