It was philosophy class. Odd, surprising the others have took it seriously. Before today's class Ulrich asked of him, "Odd, why are you so serious during this class, you don't tell jokes, or mess around, it's just not like you."

Odd responded, "I just take faith very seriously."

Today was a debating day. It was Odd, for the theists, versus Herb.

Herb was playing several popular paradoxes. The omnipotence paradox, can God create a rock so big, He can't move it? If He can, he isn't omnipotent, because He can't move it. If He can't then He still isn't all-powerful, since he can't make it.

Odd smirked when Herb was done, "Herb, do you know what that word means?"

Herb, also smirking, replied, "Yes, omnipotence means unlimited power or authority."

"Can we truly grasp such a thing?" questioned Odd. "I mean the closest thing to unlimited anything is ammo in the military games I play. The power God used to make the Universe, is below what we can truly understand."

Herb then said, "Your point?" "Easy, the infinity is beyond anything we can grasp, and since we don't understand it, we can not make a paradox."

Herb then used the "First Cause Flaw" as Jeremie called it. If God created everything, and there was nothing at first, the who created God?

Odd laughed out loud on that one. Herb's smirk vanished and was replaced with confusion.

"Not that one, that so called "flaw" has so many holes it makes Swiss cheese look solid!"

Herb, now annoyed then stated, "Ok, I'll bite, what?"

Odd's smile grew a little larger. "What part of eternal does no one understand? The dictionary says it means existing without time, no beginning or end, meaning no creation or death."

Herb, now trying to stump, decided to use the most common theory. The Problem with Evil. If there was a Omni-benevolent God, then why is there evil and pain.

Odd's smirk faded, because this was a more serious toned paradox.

Odd glared and stated, "Do you really want me to answer, or do you want me to pretend I don't know?"

Herb then said, "Depends, do you not know?" "No I know, just making sure."

Odd made a small smile, "There are several ways around that. One, humans have freewill, we makes decisions of our own, we cause our own evil. Two, we believe in a force of darkness, known as the Devil, who causes evil. And three, while not Abrahamic in nature, yin and yang, evil and good are interconnected, need for each other's survival, for can we understand good if evil didn't exist and vice versa?"

Herb sat there silent. When the class dispersed the warriors then met up with Odd. "That was amazing!" Yumi commented. "Like I told Ulrich earlier, I take faith seriously."

He turned to Jeremie and said, "Thanks for the help Einstein." "No problem Odd."

Later that night Odd kneeled and prayed. But then he went into a trance. A tall man with a neatly trimmed beard appeared. "I volunteered to say, good job Odd." said the Man.

"Y…you're…" Odd stuttered. The Man smiled and said, "You're the fourth person in your group I've seen in this short period of time. Near-death experiences, comforting, and now you…I'm glad to see you, and I'll see you all in the distant future."

As the Man began to vanish, Odd felt at peace with himself. "Good bye Lord….for now." Odd said.

(A/N: Not a bad last chapter huh? Sorry that Odd was OOC. But I need one more chapter and I tried to make this chapter several times over. By the way, for anyone who took offense from this chapter or this story, I would like to apologized.)
