The Church and the Garden

Addressed to: Rezzo, The Tormented


In your post 1659, you stated shrines would not be a problem if mortals "would respect and worship the Gods and Goddesses." You qualified this by stating that shrines were "created to honour them [meaning the Gods and Goddesses]." Since you, as one of the top leaders of the Church, have finally publicly set forth statements regarding the Church and the Garden, I hereby make a statement regarding my view of the Church: the Church in no way honours me.

However, if indeed the Church honours all Gods and Goddesses, including myself, the Church shall hereby denounce its past policy "to represent the forces of Goodness, Light, and Order" and to oppose an "ever-growing chaos and evil." The Church shall further denounce its past statement that their members are "the front-lines in the battle against the chaotic forces of the land." Finally, the two Church guilds, Priests and Templars, shall make a good faith gesture that they honour all Gods and Goddesses equally by ejecting Aurora, Goddess of Light, as patron of their guilds. Instead, the Church guilds shall remain neutral concerning the Gods and Goddesses. If this happens, I will reconsider my position concerning the Church.

But until the Church does so, I will look with extreme disfavour from this point forward upon any member of the Church who states that the shrines or any aspect of the Church honours all gods and Goddesses. In fact, I may even look with extreme favour upon those who would defile shrines as representations of that which seeks to thwart chaos and/or uphold "Light" over all other divinities.
