So, Eru needed Morgoth (or one of the other Valar) to turn to evil so that his work could be appreciated.

But then I guess he's probably not so vain as to feel the need to be appreciated. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]

*Ducks confrontation with Iarwain* I never said that evil was good in the eyes of Eru (or God, for that matter). I am just trying to figure out the implications of what others have said (which is why each of my posts rather irritatingly starts with "So ..."). [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
