Greetings, Eminent Master.
I am resigning from my status in the Church. I am a member of Good, and
an avid supporter of such. However, I will not condone the elimination
of Evil by adopting it's very principles.
Congratulations, you're now a proud supporter of the Seven Truths. Read
through them carefully and see how closely you've begun to follow them.
You claim you wish to defeat Chaos, dear Rho, yet you do this by CAUSING
chaos around the cities? You wish to defeat Evil, yet you've become one,
just a slightly different colour.
Truth number 1 - "What is callede evil is simply the drive for
advancement, for greatness. We seek, through discipline and pain, to
spur the advancement for nothing less than sentient life."
0 You are putting aside everything to drive YOUR idea of greatness. You
care causing pain to hundreds of people in the process for your idea of
discipline.
Truth number 2 - "Cruelty - the application of pain - is the method by
which one weeds out the weak and feeble-minded from the population."
0 You are putting aside everything to drive YOUR idea of greatness. You
care causing pain to hundreds of people in the process for your idea of
discipline.
Truth number 3 - "Weakness must be eliminated in all its forms:
Physical, Mental, and Spiritual."
0 You are weeding out all of the silent supporters of Good, those of us
that keep a quiet eye on our surroundings and gently lead those toward
the Light.
Truth number 4 - "The enemies of strength are those who trumpet the
effeminate values of forgiveness, tolerance, and laxity of discipline.
0 Not much more needs to be said. You seem to be doing this well on your
own.
Truth number 6 - "The mind may be made stronger through the elimination
of conscience. One does this by inflicting pain on others."
0 You seem to be doing this extremely well as you inflict pain by
removing the hard working skills and abilities EARNED by the followers
of Good while turning a blind-eye and deaf-ear to their pleas. Do you
really think that you'll gain more supporters in the end by ignoring
them when they need you most?
Truth number 7 - "The spirit may be made stronger by enduring hardships,
both self-imposed and externally-imposed."
0 Thank you for this hardship, I'm glad you wish to make us stronger,
but you're doing it by way of Evil in the name of Good. A wolf wearing a
sheep costume doesn't make it any more of a real sheep at the core.
In conclusion, I cannot stand and watch this fall. Rho states that he
wishes to do this to remove the Hypocrisy of the Church. How much more
hypocritical can you get than to, as one who battles Evil and Chaos than
causing that very thing?
In Service of Good, not the "White Seven Truths,"
