I doubt that. Fanatic-Templar Send a noteboard - 08/03/2010 01:21:32 AM
I understand what you're saying (I think), but I would word it differently.

Ishamael's beliefs are, by our definition, evil.

Therefore, Ishamael is, by our definition, evil.

But, Ishamael doesn't believe he is evil, nor does he believe the DO is evil, nor does he believe in evil. He simply believes what he believes, and doesn't care about any arbitrary label of that belief as Good or Evil.


I'm fairly certain that Ishamael knows what he's doing is evil. He simply believes that the ends justify the means.
