Isn't it time to stop calling the Taliban terrorists for standing up for what they think is right? To stand up for the rights of all islamists? Psychopaths only think about themselves, and will only do things to others if their a profit to be made, or to benefit themselves. If the Taliban was one of them they would be thinking about themself, and not others. they help others, not themselves.

And besides.... they are cat lovers... enough said.



Please do go on.

Anders is a craven, megalomaniac.

He was an absolute monster in the end.

[...] I don't see myself when I change, only the reflection in their eyes and the sound of their screams. My arm lashes out and silverite doesn't so much break as explode in a shower of molten metal. The sword melts, running down the templar's chest, and I follow up with a wave of flames which scorch the flesh from his face, leaving only bone so hot it smolders. The trees are burning… the tent… everything around us.  Rolan is still standing, and I smell the lyrium he drank, which guarded him from the blast. But he's afraid. I see his shield jerk and know he barely resisted the urge to flee, and I have a sudden thought, "What am I?" for I've seen him face both broodmothers and abominations without fear.  And then his sword is level with my chest, and I let it come, because it is only steel and cannot hurt me, for I am not of mortal men. And when it sinks hilt-deep in my flesh with no reaction, that's when he gives up. He turns and runs, and from behind, I tear his head off at the neck, no magic, just me, whatever that is now. His blood splashes into my open mouth and it tastes like honeyed wine and the warmth spreads through me. [...]

From the DA2 website-- Anders Short Story.

I am of the belief that you cannot blame someone else for the actions of another.



I want you to take a few moments of your time and read these two important articles with an OPEN mind.
My Manifesto of Anders

and
Chantry - Circles as narcissistic family + Anders

Come back and re read your thread again.

The Chantry isn't innocent by a long shot. They've got more blood on their hands than any other mage. Anders may had blew up the Chantry, but it was for a valid cause. He started a revolution by force to try to change things. Call it a terrorstic act all you want, but it is the Chantry was the ingredant for this total destruction.

If I was to shock you with a prod wouldn't you come lunging at me to kick my ass?




Your theories are absurd. 

1. The Circle of Magi does not practice slavery.
2. Ander's is a primary reason why the treatment of Mage's took a turn for the worst. I can understand your position If you choose to support Mage's,however,  I can't understand support for Ander's.
3. Anyone who disregards History is a Fool. The Tevinter Imperium is a shining example of a Society where Mage's are free, Yet you choose only to disregard Tevinter because it's a fully valid argument that legitimately weaken's your stance.
4. You seriously broke down a hypothetical family structure and applied it to the Chantry and Anders. I learned nothing from that except you must spend alot of time analyzing family structures and evidently place a high value on Interpersonal relationship' s.

1. Meh whatever doesn't even know what that was about. My guess Templars as mages as slaves.
2. Other than Anders being someone to use magic to make a WMD, the "treatment" for why the templars abused there power and useing that power to create sex slaves, and using the "Tranqual" for whatever small reason, can not be 1 person's fualt. I don't agree what Ander's did but resting everything to blame on a mage outside of the circle, doesn't excuse the reason to abuse mage's INSIDE the circle.
3. Not disreguarding it, but in all rights Tevinter is a place ruled by mages. In pretty much a dictatorship. Free mages does not equal Tevinter Imperium. I'm sure there can be a system where mages are "free" and it not turn into Tevinter.
4. not touching

No. He's a terrorist. He's no different than any other terrorist "standing up for their beliefs", consequences be damned. 


Hypothetically speaking lets just say that I pretend to agree with your analytical point of view of Anders being a terrorist. Someone don't become a terrorist without being indocrinated by someone or a group. People aren't born as terrorist, they were trained to become one over the years of lies, and even abuse.

You keep telling someone that you're nothing but a curse and eventually they will start believing in it. Look at the situation with Keili from the Circle tower. She fully believes that she is a curse, and that she fears herself. If you mention about the Rite of tranquality Shes mentions that shes going to convince her mentors to allow her to undergo the Rite to get rid of this "curse".  After the Broken Circle quest she is determined, without having a free train of thought of her own, that all mages should be 'cleansed' by the templars including herself. This is something that was drilled into this womans mind. To believe that the templars are the savers and the mages are foul and needs "cleaning" by the templars.

What is the defintion of a terrorist? a person who terrorizes or frightens others. Now tell me that the Chantry isn't guilty of being a terroristic organzation who uses religion to disguise their true nature, and to use it to control peoples minds.

The true terrorists is the Chantry and the templars who do the Chantrys bidding.

1: No matter how much people want to villify the Chantry and Templars, the matter of fact is that the Circle is not slavery.
2: And yet you just condemned all Templars for the actions of a single man. Alrik was not acting on orders. He was abusing his power.
3: In all societies with free mages, the mages have ended up ruling.

Listen, That Templar sex slave dude deserved to die. Just like Ander' s. But let's not act like my view of why the circle is necessary has anything to do with what Anders did. It is my understanding that all Circles aren't as bad as Kirkwall and All Knight Commander's arent named Meredith either. What should be understood is the fact that having Magic affects your ability to be a completely harmless member of society regardless or your personal intentions or personhood. Magic should remain checked, However we agree that Templar' s should not abuse their power.

1. I never once said that the Circle of magi practices slavery.
2. What is Anders suppose to do ? Allow the abuse to contuine? To let Meredith contuine her tryant mission to make every mage in the circle as miserable as she can possibly can? Elthina was certainly not doing anything about the current situation.
3. And thats what the Chantry wants everyone to believe in. If you give Mages their freedom then you run the chance of another Tevinter Imperium in Kirkwall. That is just a fallacy. Mages in Thedas just want their freedom. To be free to get married, own farms,houses, and to start a family. Look at Hawkes family for an example. Hawkes father was a blood mage (An automatic death sentence by Chantries law) who wanted to live in peace, and to give his family the best possible life without templars interfering.

Then you acknowledge that you refuse to listen to what I have to say. You are closed minded and are not worth of any kind of furthur debate. I feel as if I'm talking to a brick wall with some of you people here, and I refuse to invest in any of my time talking to a brick.

Not one of you pro-templars actually have anything intellectal to say... not even a valid constructive criticism.

Last time I checked nobody was forcing anyone to beleive in the Maker or Andraste, It is simply the dominant religion. Kind of like believing in The Old Gods? Difference is, followers of that faith were ACTUALLY controlling people's minds.

1. Show me a law the says the sentence for Blood Magic is an automatic death.
2. How do you know it's a Fallacy? The Chantry didnt teach me what a society that allows Mage's to be free operates like, The World of Thedas did. 
3. And There are some Mage's who like life in the circle, what of them? 
4. When I think revolution "Kill a bunch of innocent people with a explosion" doesn't exactly come to mind. Ander's was a muderer, He and Justice killed a Warden brother, That's why he left the Warden' s.

I did'nt say they were part of the Chantry,I said they used indoctrination to control their subjects.And the lyrium thing is still valid because the Chantry only recruits those who are blindly devoted(which would make it easier for them to control).

First. I didn't say those who worshipped the Old Gods are the only ones CAPABLE of controlling minds. 
I SAID THEY ARE THE ONLY ONES WHO LITERALLY DID IT.

The Chantry doesn't control the Lyrium trade, Dwarves do. 
The Haven cult was exactly that, A CULT. The Chantry doesn't preach Andraste returning in the form of a Dragon.
