**** FLAME ON ****

Why do all paladins have to have Christain 'morals' concider the Islamic
Paladin, or any other religious group you care to think of.  Just a gripe
of mine, why does everyone insist that Christanity is Lawful Good?  To do
so is to ignore the rich history of murder and mayham sponcered by Christanity.
For starters you have the Spanish Inquisition, Programs in Europe, the 
events in Europe during WWII - read up the Nazi's were NOT the only ones
killing 'non-desirables' the partisans killed  thier share.  

**** FLAME OFF ****

I don't insist, nor encourage my players to play their paladins as Christains.
Life is so much more interesting when the 'Bad Guys' think that they are
on the side of TRUTH, Justice and the {fill in the blank} way.  In the end
we all must face the face that there are no TRUTHs, just lots of truths.

Just who is the monster here anyway???
