Finally you address your real concern - 'that there is no a void in
our culture that would be filled by such an organization'.

Selah my opponent, you speak from the heart and admit thy motive, this
is all I wanted. In truth, I cannot counter you, I AM 19, and have
not yet gained enough exposure to life here to counter your arguments.
Your insinuation that I must have an 'older soul' is insulting however, as
everything I have debated is available for public perusal in this Board and
the help scrolls house by all cities. In regards to the lack of comment
from elder priests, well that is their business - although I do direct you
to Nyr's post regarding healing others.

In answer to your claims of bias, I repeat, I am debating for the sake
of debating. Not once have I stated that I personally agree or disagree
with any opinion discussed here. I'm only participating in this
discussion for the sake of intellectual stimulation.

Lastly, I must say, you appear to be a master of the 'offhand' comment.
That little sentence thrown in almost an afterthought, yet so suggestive.
For example, your last post, you state: "It makes me thing you perhaps have
an older soul...(just food for thought)".
The offhand comment there is contained within parenthesis. By adding it in
parenthesis and at the end of your sentence, you make it _seem_ an afterthought,
thrown in negligently as an afterthought, yet the emphasis of your entire
point revolves around those few words. Masterful use of prose on those
gullible enough to read, and believe, anything palatable put before them.

Your use of prose is almost good enough to earn you the the position
of propaganda Minister for Ashtan 30 years ago - during their heyday.
If this comment confuses anyone, I advise you to read the last 3,000
or so posts consecutively. By the end of which, you will be heartily
sick of the same worn out arguments as the rest of us....


Penned by my hand on the 8th of Miraman, in the year 250 AF.
