The Red Book Podcast ran for 12 episodes. This is the eighth episode. Middleearth suffered under two Dark Lords: Morgoth and Sauron. In a world where it is known that Eru exists, why do these Dark Lords fight what appears from the outside to be a hopeless conflict against the forces of good? Having been created by God, does His existence give them any pause? I look at the role of Eru, the nature of Melkor's rebellion, and why Sauron thought it was a good idea to inherit the corruption left to him when his master was defeated.
