Good and Evil?

A question that I would pose to members of the Church regarding good and evil. Your organisation as a whole seems to regard itself as the epitomy of all that is good and right in the land, you even go so far as to hold Occultist's eating of mortal hearts as wrong, and also their sacrifice of children as wrong.

Church members enslave innocent beasts of the forests to power their own shrines, does the life of an animal matter any less than that of any other being? The church members do not even have the decency to use a blade or another honourable method to slaughter the animal(unless they are very young members of the church, then only because they cannot enslave an animal) you instead dupe the animal into following you to a shrine where you sacrifice it and take its life to increase your own power. That I find evil.

Good and Evil are in the eye of the beholder, really. There are others in Achaea that do not see your slaughter of noble forest beings as an evil practise and there are those that do. Is not saying that an Occultist is evil because he uses a mortal heart to increase his own power somewhat of a hipocricy on the part of the Church? What is worse yet is that your members(mostly young Priests in my experience) have the gaull to walk into a forest and ask where they might find animals. They usually ask where they can find the defenceless ones, like squirrels for instance. A word of advice to new(and old) Church members: Don't ask a Druid -- whom is charged with the duty of guarding the forests and all of its lifeforms-- where you can find one of its lifeforms and enslave or kill it.

Penned by my hand on the 11th of Phaestian, in the year 253 AF.
