Greetings

One shouldn't go looking for violence.

To all concerned,

If you find my criticisms to be harsh or unwarranted, then consider this.

While you speak boldly and critically of my opinions, you turn a blind eye to the actual people who are spreading the real horror , and I repeat:

Religions which openly and willfully demand the sacrifices of sentient beings, their corruption and torture and the loss of love and fellowship between all peoples to the ultimate end; a chaotic and anarchic world.

If we live in fear of disturbing the balance of peace, make no mistake, that balance is disturbed. This is why cultists from all of these dark gods visited us with their emboldened warriors, I watched Agorrans and Malycites cutting down innocent people. It was warriors of Valos and Galladel, Gaia and Andorra I saw protecting the innocent then.

Do any of you honestly believe that once you open the door for dark forces that they will easily leave? Do you think that when they reveal themselves for what they are, and the error of our judgement is realized that they will follow the law and vacate the land?
No, they are, as we speak converting people to their cause, peasants, children who we are charged to keep safe are being turned to a path of murder and deception all because we are afraid.

So, for my words may I be judged, but I will not let a day go by unchallenged that suffers this maleficence to exist.

Lucien,

I am not embarrassed by Angeliana, on the contrary, I am proud of her for adhering to her tenants. I am, however embarrassed by your words to her and saddened that you chose a public forum to express yourself. Please, I do not wish to start an argument, I just wished to express my opinion. If you or anyone else takes issue with my opinion, please contact me privately. I am happy to discuss why I feel the way I do privately.

I do want to say that I think it is good that you care very much about the reputation of the Church of Light and I believe that we can all work together to improve the reputation and perception of who we are.

May the Compassion, Righteousness, Spiritual Guidance and Health from the Gods be yours.

In Peace and Service,
Mother Maralas.

I also apologize for making an off topic post, but I felt very strongly about this one thing. Thank you all for allowing me to express my opinion.

And killing them all would solve all of our problems.

Andorra and Gaia would be proud.

Mr. Belfast,

You are engaging in a logical fallacy. To speak critically about your opinion is not the same as turning a blind eye to criminality; it is merely to speak critically of your opinion.

Now, you have been asked multiple times by multiple parties to cease and desist from making such public overtures.

Kindly, stop stirring up the very anarchy you speak of trying to defend us against in this public forum, and instead meet with those parties privately to discuss your grievances in a civilized manner.

To my Brothers, Sisters and Angeliana

It is a desperate and infuriating business to reply to every single criticism of my tough love yet I will explain. I am both a brother to my family in the Light and a brother to my blood sisters far from here, who have taught me that , though their gentle hearts mean well, it is within the bonds of love that I might make my opinion of their company known, be it a suitor or a friend. This is my background and the purpose of my passion

Be not confused, I do love Angeliana, and her cause, though if these worshipers of darkness are truly misunderstood or wish to do no harm and live in peace, then they will not only accept her kindness, but consider in public how they might truly return it. Namely by refusing to convert and preach beliefs which cause suffering to all people, and thereby cause suffering to my sister Angeliana.

If you think I am on a path of war and wish to see all of these cultists die, then you are sorely mistaken.

I was the -only- soldier on the field to my knowledge who was taking prisoners, three cultists were spared death when they yielded to me. They were sent to the stocks and will hopefully choose to put down their weapons for good, repent and then stand trial.
Valos' justice, tempered by Andorra's love. I know it well.

I demanded the surrender of dozens more, women, and young boys who were turned to darkness not by me, but by the people we now let walk among us. So full of hate were they that even when their battle was lost and only a few of them remained with their backs to the woods, they still came on.

Do you think a day goes by that I do not beg forgiveness for being forced to kill a young woman, Agorran or not, or that skinny boy and his spear, even as he yelled his twisted gods name? I remember the faces of the others and I do count them in my prayers. They were cheated their lives by my steel, but it was a Dark God which forced them before me only four days ago.

You may think of me what you will, but know that I will always strive to save my enemy. I do not consider myself of higher authority than others in my Church. I am low in standing, but high in passion and my hasty words are not meant to inflame conflict but to save innocent people from being mislead. I would not be able to live knowing that even one child was converted to this wickedness while I sat idly by.

So I will not sit idly by. I will, within the confines of the law, openly challenge any who think darkness is a necessary or welcome.
