ORIGINAL: strongheart777 because my soul is of righteous intent. So... Your righteous intent, by itself, is enough for those... what exactly?... in the astral planes to act on your behalf. How exactly does your righteous intent trump anyone else's? Assuming, of course, that those... beings? what?... in the astral planes have nothing better to do than to act on petty requests from us in the lower planes, how does your intent rank higher than anyone else's? Suppose my intent was for the astral residents to return to us to help eradicate disease, hunger, poverty, and put an end to war. Now those in the astral planes have two requests to act out on intent, yours and mine, but they can, for logistical reasons, get around to working on only one. Which one of our intents should be acted on? Yours, to satisfy your selfish need for this woman? Or mine, to satisfy my selfish need that everyone living in this, the human plane, be free from disease, poverty, hunger, and to be saved from the atrocities of war? Even if the astrals (I'll shorten up their name and assume they're some sort of sentient being) could work on both of our intents at the same time, we're in contradiction: you would have them wage war against any man making a play for your chick while my intent is to stop war. Again, interesting concept you have of the astral planes.
