Shylmysten you speak as if you had known me for many years and yet I do
believe that post was the first and only time you have ever spoken to
me.
As to that last post, you have accused us of lies, slaughter and theft.
You say we are unreliable, without integrity, unethical, and with no
sense of judgement. In fact you say all of these things about me
personally.
Allow me to retort to your accusations:
I am a man of my word, I hold truth in the highest esteem yet you would
call me a liar when have I lied, give me proof, but no, you cannot as
you have never spoken to me and all that I stated in my post was truth.
You accuse me of theft, I personally have never stolen anything, but I
have been on the receiving end of plenty of theft. Find me a person I
have stolen from, but you cannot, since I have never been a thief.
You say I am without integrity, that I am unethical, the fact that you
separate the two surprises me as they are both the same thing, to be
without integrity is to be unethical. You do not therefore appear to
know the meaning of integrity. I have integrity, I have ethics. That
they differ from yours is apparently a great problem to you.
You say I have no sense of judgement and yet I have chosen my path and I
believe I have done so wisely. I am not blinded by my faith, indeed I
can see many points of view other than my own, a skill you sadly lack.
Now allow me to address the petty name-calling, I see you have expanded
your range so that it does not purely cover the divine now. Simpleton
indeed, I refuse to respond to such attempts to aggravate me as those
who do know me recognise the falsity of your words.
My personal agrievements covered let me speak once more as a priest:
You wish to argue the point of oppression? Allow me to make a few points
then.
Firstly you say that my belief is my oppression, yet you also say that
we make our own choices in this world, therefore if my belief is my
choice how can it be my oppression?
Secondly you say that I cry oppression once again yet have no
comprehension of the word. I would like to think I have clarified this
in my last post but evidently you were not listening. Evil is oppressed
at every turn, its one of the things that gives us our unity and our
strength, I will say no more on the matter, I simply suggest that you
READ my posts and UNDERSTAND them before replying to them. What is more
when have I ever cried oppression before that post. I must point this
out again for you, it seems to have slipped your memory, we have never
met, you have never before my last post read a single word I have
written, in fact I doubt that before that post was written you were
aware of my existence cease speaking as if you know me.
And thirdly you would accuse us of seeking power through slaughter and
of crushing hopes and dreams, indeed I imagine you define such things as
oppression do you not? Yet later in your post you speak in depth on how
we should be slaughtered, and our hard work, our dreams destroyed. You
say that we would steal others hard work and that we have no thought or
care of the struggle it took to achieve those things. Our city was
raised from the ground by sweat and blood. We have faced adversity at
every turn, conquered it, and built much for ourselves. Yet you would
seek to take all this away without a thought or care of the struggle in
spirit it took to achieve these things.
You contradict yourself far too much Shylmysten, more examples perhaps?
How about when you say one Evil act begets another and then later state
that you and others should Do unto them as they have done unto us. Would
this not make you as bad as you claim we are? But thats not the worst
you you who so hate all Evil, who seeks to destroy us and everything we
stand for go on to speak of tolerance of others beliefs! I could barely
believe it when I read it, be assured Ive not laughed so hard in a long
time.
Moving on to another point of your lengthy post (if your wrote shorter
posts I would be happy to write shorter replies). A major point for your
arguments with Sartan are the love and marriage taboos but remember
this, Mhaldor is Lord Sartans city he writes the law as he sees fit and
should he see fit he will change the law. If we disagree then we lose
our faith, that is the risk every God takes with their followers but it
is the business of God and worshippers alone, what business is it of
yours?
Oh, and I see now also that you have ceased veiling your insults to our
Lord at least, that I applaud you upon. But surely it isnt wise to go
around accusing the divine of falsehoods, of them having a hate for
truth as you put it. But then you do enjoy complaining about how you are
hunted and persecuted.
Finally, yes I know it has been a long post but it is almost over, you
claim that my philosophies are a misinterpretation formed through my
Misunderstandings. I for one do not believe I have misinterpreted Evil.
Indeed at the time of writing this I bear the favour of our Lord,
therefore If I am in the favour of the Lord of Evil for writing my last
post which was largely about Evil how can you claim that I have
misinterpreted Evil? Perhaps we should look to your own faith for a
moment while you criticise mine. I realise I know little about the Order
of War but the scrolls on Aegis are still free to be read by all in the
land allow me to quote and comment on but one thing from there and I
shall be done.
He is the patron god of many who claim lordship and dominion over those
who are weaker than themselves.
Sounds like our Philosophies arent so very different, sounds like all
you hate about Evil is personified by War, perhaps you have
misinterpreted your philosophy through your misunderstandings.
