To be honest I find the visa thing kind of annoying and potentially dangerous.
It's annoying because it's a thematic and interesting limitation we just learned about which adds something we have to manage in play. Limitations like that are as much a part of what make the descriptions come alive in the game as the new options presented by an ability are.
It's potentially dangerous because the hell is Molly's world soul, and being a hell is a fundamental part of the charm. If here and now that means "a place without god" trying to change that sounds problematic. Especially given the warning we just got about attempting to imprison the Fallen. That's on brand, but too big a task for us right now.
Letting a sword through would be the same scale of task, but working directly against the grain of Molly's soul.
Micheal is no more at risk now than he was yesterday, and Heaven is evidently really good at keeping the swords/knights safe. It's not perfect, but let's not infantilize a guy who picked a fight with a Dragon and won.
with two daughters and possibly two baby mamas (Susan/Maggie and Lash/Bonnie) hilarious.
Technically speaking
Harry is the baby mama in Bonnie's case. I haven't given up on the idea of making him a maternity beanie enchanted to reduce the headache issue.
More seriously it's worth noting she probably won't exist if Lash doesn't sacrifice herself for the sake of true love.
The closest example I can think of is the Creation Myth of Arda in the Silmarillion, where Eru and the Ainur sang Creation into being. And where everything Morgoth did to fuck up the Great Music furthered the Ainulindale.
Personally I favor a scorpion and fox Aesop style answer for this issue in the quest.
Something* brought elements of the white god's internal mythos into conflict with each other and this was the result. Free will is likely a part of it, and was the side that won the war, but learning the precise nature of what the other concept was would tell us a lot about who the guy was and who he is right now.
The white god is super intelligent, but appealing to some ineffable plan isn't a helpful argument. It can't be falsified because it starts with the idea that what's happening can't be understood.
Maybe the broad situation really can't be, but if that's the case it's equally valid to suggest it's all roiling chaos or barely under control as anything else. If you can't understand it how would you tell the difference?
Edit:
The other problem here is the impact of that argument on analyzing the rest of the situation independent of its internal issues.
There's evidence of arguable failures and limits on the white god. The rebellion, his reason for allowing the denarians to do what they do, the existence of his army of seraphs but Winter being left to guard the Outer Gates. Stuff like that.
Not all of it is necessarily a failure, since context could exist to explain it, but if we assign all of it as intentional parts of his ineffable plan it immediately turns the argument into something at least vaguely circular.
We can reasonably assume that the white god has superhuman stats in everything, but that doesn't make him perfect alone.
The support for the claim that he's superhuman enough to be perfect at this stuff is the existence of his plan, which we know he has because he's so superhumanly intelligent.
Any evidence that might look like it casts doubt on that is actually proof of how impossible to understand his plan is; even his potential failures are on purpose and will lead to his ultimate victory.
