Kruldar,
You have made some very good points there, most of which I'll let Israfel or some other member of the Church attempt to debate.
I would however like to point out that the Selucarian Empire failed... it is nought but dust. Hence it's not really the best of examples that Chaos/Evil can flourish happily alongside Good.
As for your paradox where you slay innocent children only to combat shrines, whic threaten you....
Well, to me, that is VERY shaky moral grounds, but... you mentioned that that is what YOU use it for...in self defense. There have been many occultists who havnt shared your restraint...
Hence while some of you are able to cling to this vestige of morality, many are not...
Anyway, thats just a few of my own thoughts...
