I am appalled. Aghast. Enraged.
Not at your work. No, for the dead will never find God's light.
Rather, I find myself in a state of abhorrence that there are so many who would abuse these people. Abuse them, leave them to die, and in the most horrific cases, those you referred to as 'sex slaves'.
It took this to make me connect to this network directly, and speak. As the Blessed Empress has shown, in her mercy and wisdom (a reminder that should never have had to be given in the first place), it is the duty of our people to educate and enlighten. Slavery truely only exists in order to provide a, pardon the term, 'captive audience' for the education of these unfortunates, a chance to see the blessed truth. And if, after all honest attempts have been made to educate them, they do not see the Light, then do as the Empress did, and set them free. (And perhaps that mercy could even be counted as another attempt to show them the Truth.)
Those who abuse this sacred duty have fallen from grace. Those who manipulate the laws of the Empire to have slaves prop them up, rather than educate them? They are heathen at best. Nay, that is too generous. Apostate, False to God, Heretic, Blasphemer!
One who does not believe may have, over the course of their lives, millions of chances to change their views. Perhaps, even upon their death, God may deem it just to show his face to them, and give them another chance, with certainty rather than faith. I cannot say for certain, and will not claim it so, for that would be to put my words in the Mouth of God.
But those who speak God's words, and invoke his laws, only to use them in the manners you have described...they are no better than the Blood Raiders. Or those abominations who worship their false god, Kuvakei. Or the madmen of the EoM.
Let them burn in the fires of eternal damnation. Perhaps God will show them mercy upon their demise, I certainly will not.
As to the slaves themselves, I will admit that I currently am the caretaker of several hundred of them. I minister to them daily, feed them, clothe them, teach them of the arts and sciences. Those who come to know God are, in accordance with the scriptures, freed, and offered a place to work. Should they refuse, they are given an allotment of money to start their life within the Empire. Not a pittance, for that would be cruel, to send them into poverty. It would be unjust to reward their faith in such a backhanded manner. Especially as we are all His children.
No, I did not accept immortality to become scum. I did so to spread God's eternal Light. To tend to his flocks.
If you find that you have more than you can manage, or that some of your rescuees wish a chance at life in the Empire, feel free to contact me.
Should you be uncertain what to do with the slavers you are holding, also, feel free to contact me. Let those who have claimed God's will for their own gain be given a choice. Take the place of those they abused, until true repentance finds them, or be sent to face Judgement.
Too long have these abuses gone on. Too long has this corruption infested the fabric of God's people. It is long past time to rectify the situation. So I reiterate my offering of my services, my lands, my agents, my wealth, and myself, to giving these lost souls another chance at a life with God. |
