Well, a few more thoughts (I bet you're quietly groaning now!)
In CWDP Holden asks Buffy if God exists, and she shrugs and answers something non-committal. It would seem by 'God' they refer to the christian God rather than TPTB, which are not a matter of faith (Angel talks to them) and have nothing to do with Christianity. I found that intriguing!
Re. the 'you get the reward because you don't want it' and all the 'it doesn't matter if we make a difference': I was reminded of Abraham sacrificing Isaac - it's the intention that matters, not the deed.
What else - Jasmine saying 'There is no good and evil, only choices' is such an incredible mass of contradictions, that I want to slap her! If there is no right or wrong, then what can you choose between? Sorry, pet hate!
Grr, now I've forgotten what else I was going to write! And I also have to go and get the children out of the bath, so if I ever remember what it was, I'll probably comment again tomorrow! (Heh! Interesting essay = many thoughts)
Oh, and I'll probably do a bit of pimping as well! :)
