People don't become priests because the chantry is monitoring the mages, but because of many other personal reasons. Do you realize what you say ?esper wrote...
Also the priest aren't harmless. Petrice should be prime example of that. Varnell was a templar who followed her because she was a mother. She just chose to sacrifice him, because he had been stupid enough to use the Grabd Cleric seal, but the mere fact that a templar could use the seal and nobody questioned that he was under order from the Grand Cleric, proves that the chantry controls the templars.
And unlike the mages the priest chose to be priests. They can walk away form their position. The mages do not have a choice. If magic was something learned and not born with I would not have felt the same way about the issue.
If they want to be priests, they desserve to die because they had choices. But what choice ? Don't be priest or die ? For civilians don't come to church ? That's not a choice and that don't make them nor bad, nor evil, nor soldiers. They don't have the right to have vocation in something they love so much and which they believe, to serve the maker according to what you say. Now they can not be priests, because of details that do not concern them first. I talk about thousand of ordinary people. And do you really think that someone who truly believe in god, morever priest, will give up its faith under the threat, and it's church, because some threat them ? I bet the majority of ordinary people, and priests just want to be in peace, to pratice their cult in their church. That never happened in real life, you won't convince anyone who believe in god, not to come to church or pratice in the chantry, because it's nonsense to ask that to a believer, a priest, that's not a choice.
, I agree with what you say about necessity about some things to do. It's war, and sometimes, we kill people for strategic goals, etc, and we have no choice. but that's not what bother me with what you say. There is a double discourse rather disturbing and your apology of war crime is incompatible with " it's genocide, it's evil lala, that's not good. "
Basically, What you think, kill them all, isn't evil because you think there is no choice ? But Meredith too thought there was no choice .
And you do have choice, not to commit mass murder. But to win. There is a big difference here.
The goal I imagine for a mage who isn't a fanatic is to defeat the chantry, to destroy their control over mages, to be free, to destroy their autority, to fight their military organization, , maybe to kill all those who have power in the chantry and who are againstt mages., not to commit the same as Meredith or mass murder on all people " because they must be all bad, all evil, no one is innocent. " What's the point to kill hight autority in the chantry when they want peace ? And it will be probably the case.
