Vivec fighting Azura was like you or I popping a zit or wearing loose clothing to hide our expanding waist line. There are some things you don't like about yourself, so you get rid of them or hide them. (:
I'd say you'd be equal, since achieving CHIM wouldn't change the size or scope of the universe, just your perception of it and its principles. Infinity +(or -) infinity is still infinity, so either nothing would happen, or everything would happen. But neither would win... or both would. Either way CHIM is a hoorrible concept. Well, the concept is good, just the ridiculous boost in power/everything.
The second paragraph here strikes a sympathetic chord, but the first para makes no sense. Why?
Basically you have contradicted yourself in one important respect and debased the nature and power of Gods to support or prove a debateable point.
A God has to be more like a hand in comparison to the Mundus and personally I do not sit here smacking my hand (others do with their hands, but ...) nor do I plunge a red hot poker into it. Self abuse svcks.
And who is to say that the
Dunmer are not actually happier with their colour in Morrowind (they can be forgiven for being upset with their colour in Oblivion though
) - it could be said that it did not hurt them, and it was a timely lesson, but they have taken it to heart and call themselves the
dunmer proudly.
Now, if Vekh has transcended all in his thinking, then he should have transcended his own shortcomings or Chim(p) would not be possible ... so claiming he would then act in such a petty and downright narsty manner in the Trial having already attained chim(p) says that if another achieved chim(p) then Vivec might well attack them too - out of petty spite ...
Heh, you can ignore this or misrepresent the sense, but it has been said. I would be surprised if you were to meet this post on its own terms without agreeing in part.
