Listen more closely to the words spoken to you

First, I would like to say that any person's words lose credibility and
respect when referring to others as "starving dogs", "rapist", and
"idiots". If you wish to voice a convincing argument you should refrain
from such closed-minded utterances.

Secondly to only read a tenth of a person's words to you and then
believe you have an understanding for what was said is to mislead
yourself. Since you did not even bother to read the statement directed
toward you or even take some time to contemplate on what was said, I
believe you have drawn false conclusions of what was said. Therefore, I
am inclined to shed some insight on what Litania was trying to convey to
you.

I believe that Litania was only trying to find a reason why those who
follow the beliefs of light, purity, and faith feel that the undead hold
no place in this world. There was no implication that the undead and
living should graciously accept one another's beliefs and teachings.
Even though I fight to preserve the undead, I still respect the
teachings of the inner spark because I want to be enlightened and
informed about other's believe. The inner spark, from my understanding,
consist of four principles. I am not exactly sure on these, as I am
still studying the subject--but I believe they are purity, faith, light,
and life (please correct me if any of these are wrong as I am sure that
one or two may be). It is from these areas that the life of the inner
spark is breathed into an individual.

The main conflict that I have discovered between the undead and
followers of light is holding one's belief divinely above another's path
in life. From what I have observed, those who follow the light believe
that the undead hold no place or right to exist in this world because of
its unnatural nature. However, this does not change the reality that the
undead do in fact exist in this world. I believe that the undead--while
they may not agree with the path those of light follow--respect their
choice in life and do not desire to impose their own way of life upon
others. On the other hand, many of those who follow the light consider
the undead damned (which is fine since they are entitled to their
opinion), but the real issue arises because they wish to purge the
undead from the lands. As a result, the followers of light have forced
their beliefs on the undead by deliberately interfering with the pursuit
of their quality and style of life.

I pray that my words might enlighten at least a few to the continual
feelings of contempt directed toward the undead.
