They tell me my mind is clouded with the stuff, but I'm going to use this free-will all you folks are talking about and choose not to discuss Chaos.

I have one comment to the young members who have been caught up in this war: we all know you have valid points, and it's good to see that you don't accept everything willingly, but before you go and make a statement to the world, see what the world has to say to you. Oftentimes, you will find that you're very words have been expressed countless times before you, or you may find a very worthy argument which will help you understand the other side.

Perhaps I too am one of the SMALL, insofar as being insignifigant and *cough* senile, but as a former (once again, that is former) member of the Church, but I am curious as to how these anti-shrine terms (#1954) were decided upon. (I will probably eat my own words, as I'm sure there has been a past post explaining this in so many persuasive words.) I simply don't understand how the arguments of free-will (ie. no shrines in Ashtan) and the virtual banning of shrines outside of Shallam can be justified in the same mind. Perhaps they aren't, and these terms are simply meant to dominate the Church (which I am not saying is wrong or right, I just want to know if it is so).

I once promised myself I would never again post on these (yuck) current issues, but rest assured I shall be falling on my head double-time to make up for it.

Walk on dirt,
