Kossara Vymezal reflects:
"He saw deeper than most, did her Dominic, and covered the hurt of it with a jape. If only he did not see right past God. In time? I'll never preach at him, nor admit outright that I pray for him. But if we are given time -" (XVI, p. 543)
But they will not be given time. According to a monotheist, that is God's doing.
Later:
"'If there is danger today,' [Kossara] said, 'I thank God He lets me be in it with you.'
"[Flandry] prevented himself from telling her he felt no gratitude." (XVII, p. 551)
Each leaves something unsaid. And here is the difference. For a monotheist, every experience, even danger, is part of a dialogue with God. The Hebrew Bible is a dialogue between the Abrahamic God and His people. The Dennitzans preserve Orthochristianity. God, if He exists, interacts differently with Flandry.
