Thrask did not approve of blood magic, I told you that before; He had said it himself. Alain had no choice but to use blood magic to free your captive companions/siblings. As far as what Samson said.... I'm taking it with the strain of salt. Theirs no actual proof indicating that blood magic was use to ressurect the dead.
Thrask lied, Thrask changed is mind. What is certain is that members of his group were using blood magic and becoming Abominations.
Either he was aware of it and didn't care; which makes him a terrible Templar; or he couldn't tell it was happening; which makes him a terrible Templar.
Either way, Thrask was an idiot.
1. Don't you also think it's unfeasible to place every mage population in Circle?
2. Non-Mages as just as dangerous if not more. Loghain, Rendon Howe and Sten are your prime examples.
3. Punching, kicking and biting. You don't fully disarm a non-mage.
4. Wrong. If you had paid any attention to the game you'll see that non-mages can be susceptible to demonic possession. They too can be drawn into the control of demons too on top it off.
5. Do you not believe in equality?
1-No, because it has been done for nine hundred years.
2-Loghain and Howe could order soldiers to destroy Redcliff. An 8 years old mage did it by his lone self.
Non-mages in positions of enough power to destroy a city are few. But mage children could do it if they feel bored.
3-Punching and kicking vs Walking Bomb, Firestorm, etc.
The situation is not equivalent and should not be treated as if it is
4-AS susceptble. Do you know what that "AS" is there for?
5-Equality between people who can control mind, summon storms, make another's blood boil inside their vein and those who can't? I might as well believe in Santa Claus.
Meredith didn't physically blew up the Chantry, but she along with the Grand Cleric was the main ingrediants for it.
No, the main ingredients for it were sela petrae and drakestone and they were all put together by a mage.
Neither Meredith nor Elthina had anything to do with it.
So all but Alian used blood magic for evil huh?
Yes.
You're being judgemental and we already know the current situation. Mages and Templars are at holy war against each other. Templars had disbandon the Chantry and are on their own now. They will do as they please, and that means take the law into their own hands. The Templars are now common thugs.
"sigh"
We don't know the situation in that concept art. As far as we know, that mage just finished slaugthering a whole village; or she is possessed and the mages are containing the Abomination.
I'm not making wild assumptions based on my biases nor am I being manipulated into supporting the "underdog" just because that mage is outnumbered.
Being forced to live in isolation due to fear can cause a lot of resentments. Its the gasoline to which can burst into flames with the right ingredient at anytime. I've never said that someone who is fighting for his freedom is bad... stop making stuffs up because I never said such a thing like that. and mages whos fighting for "freedom" and using any available art of magic to aid them to battle doesn't automatically make them "bad" either.

In ACT III the mages wern't free. They were fighting for their freedom. If that is being bad then I guess everyone who fights for freedom is bad.
Your own words. I'm going to try to show it to you why this is ridiculous. Again.
A group of women that have been caught by sex traffic rings staged a revolt and killed their "pimps" in the way out.
A group of criminals that were rigthfully arrested staged a revolt and killed their guards in the way out.
Both of these groups of people fought for the same thing (freedom) and both killed to achieve this. However, other circunstances make one revolt justified and the other not.
Therefore, just because I believe that mages fighting for freedom is wrong; it doesn't mean other groups that fight for their freedom are wrong.
Do you understand now?
I wouldn't exactly use Fenris as an example as he tend to use that "painful experiment" to his benefits... like sqeezing or tearing the heart out of his enemies. He doesn't mind using the very same tool that his master had given to him. Fenris hates mages, but doesn't mind using magic that was given to him to defeat his enemies... HYPOCRITE.
So, if someone takes advantage of a poor situations they have been forced in; that suddenly makes the first actions a righteous one. For instance, if a slave uses his position near the Archon to gain certain commodities, does that mean his enslavement becomes acceptable.
Face it. In non-magical society; the likes of Alrik and Karras had to conceal their crimes to avoid punishment while in the magical society of Tevinter, the enslavement of non-mages is the very foundations of society and the mages can do whatever they please with their slaves because they are proprierty.
Now tell me what does this have to do with being born with magic? Don't get me wrong I am not against the Circle. I am against Chantry run Circles; where Mages are essentinally treated as prisoners. Don't you understand that if you restrict peoples freedom that it will only create war and riots? Don't you watch the news from time to time? A government who restricts freedom from their people are asking for a civil war.
I'm not sure how to put this into simpler terms...
ALL societies restrict the freedoms of their citizens. Restrictions upon our freedoms are the very cornerstone of society; it's why the judicial system exists; it's why rules of behavior exist.
What changes between societies is the harshness of restrictions. However, all societies restrict the freedoms of their citizens because we have the potential of being dangerous to each other; and not because we have given evidence of being dangerous.
Therefore, it is only logical that those amongst us who present a greater danger (AKA those with magic) have greater restriction upon their freedoms in order to reflect the increased danger they pose.
Yeah blame the mages for templars turning into red lyrium monsters.
Mages are being forced to use blood magic to protect themselves against the rebel Templars.
I think you just made double standards an art form recognized by The Louvre.
