Hey guys, let's all convince ourselves we're right and everyone else is a raving idiot based off of information we assume is true!

Oh...you already beat me to it. Now I feel inadequate.

It's never too late.

I'm not saying they have no issues, I'm saying they have mages in leadership positions, so they serve as a working alternative to the Chantry's solution, which I find better than living under armored drug addicts who have no oversight. An insane Cullen can end up ruling the Circle in fear if the Circle is culled, after all.

Fair enough.

You didn't see what that was in response to, did you? That statement was said in response to someone making a broad statement about mages being unable to control themselves, and I retorted that under that line of reasoning, the templars must be incompetent. In all seriousness, I don't see a point to this debate. No one is changing their stance. Plenty continue to extol the current method used on mages, and others see it as offensive. I have argued against the system used by the Chantry with the templars, and I've also argued that I'm not saying all templars are evil or anything of the sort. I'm arguing the same line of thought as Alistair and Anora: mages have earned the right to govern themselves.

Fair enough, my mistake.

The current Chantry is totally perverted in what Andraste originally wanted:

"Magic is meant to serve man, not to rule over him"

ZOMG WE MUST IMPRISON AND PERSECUTE ALL MAGES LOCK EM UP IN DA TOWA!!!!

No, Andraste's original message was that magic is a powerful tool, and like everything that comes with power comes great responsibility.

Alternatively, Andraste's original message is that magic is powerful and therefore, be on your guard.

The Chant, like any religion, can be intrepreted in any number of ways.

How do you know? Did she tell you that when...when...oh, that's right, for all we know she could be a figment of the Chantry's imagination, and the whole Chant of light was really written by some guy named Dave hunched over a desk in his basement in the wee hours of the morning.

Edit: Oh...wait...
