I am nothing more than a young citizen of Shallam... not involved in the
church, nor a philosopher... but I must ask that that future posts from
you contain more than silly insults and accusations of hypocrisy.

I know what "Good" is, as do the citizens of the city sworn to defend
it. I say this publicly because perhaps other muddled strangers to the
Light likely think the same way. Let me enlighten you, sir, and your
colleagues in confusion... just because you don't share our values
doesn't mean our reasoning or way of life is flawed. I humbly request
that you present an argument backed by more than bitter distaste and
illogical arguments.

The Church, from my... basic perceptions, has goals rooted in helping
the weak, poor, and innocent. The individuals who serve under it are
people like myself who are not perfect, but believe in upholding what's
Right... we cannot be expected to be saints.

I apologize for wasting the time it takes everyone to read this, but I
make this request in the hopes that in the future, the confused may
think through their posts and what they imply before you *save them.
