Just a small point to those preaching compassion and understanding in
the issue of undeath

Because the divine allow many things to exist, does not mean something
is not unnatural and should not be allowed to exist.

The divine gave us free will, and the ability to change our own
destinies. Undeath is an affront to those who believe in the natural
order of life and death, and to those gods whose jurisdictions fall
within it. However the divine will not simply do away with abilities
that deal in undeath, as it takes away one of our rights to life, being
the ability to make our own choices, and live with the consequences of
that choice.

We do not know what the Creator of All feels about certain things, and I
would not presume to question Him on His design for the world. But we
cannot assume that because He has allowed something to exist, that must
mean He endorses it by not condemning it.

Calling on the name of the Creator in this argument is not valid in any
case, as I doubt death or undeath matter much to Him except to richen
the tapestry of the world that is His creation.

I hope you realise the irony of your words when you say 'I believe you
need to open your minds a little more, and gain more understanding of
Undeath, it is a way of life'. It is not a way of life, and it is not
death. But something which should not be.

A little brain food for you...
