Well, X-phial, I would say that Eru is inherently and irrevocably good.

Also, yes, cultures and languages vary. But the properties that make something blue make it truly blue. Yes, blue is the name we have assigned to it, but it is still blue due to its properties that make us call it blue. The names may change, but not the properties. So it doesn't matter if other words are thought up for it. It's still blue.

Also, I never said that the religous truth was found. I may believe that it has been, but I only contend that it exists at the moment and must be sought.
