The protestants in Salem Massachusetts were lawful good people,
on a whole. They burned young women alive on the pretense of
witchcraft. That was a dispicable act. They were still lawful
Good.


Sorry. "Burning the innocent" is evil. There's a reason these people are remembered in infamy. I'm sure Pol Pot had a rationale for what he was doing, but if I had to set an alignment on him, it'd be super-dark-red-aura evil.

He could make mistakes, because his "religon" (as spelled out in my role) allowed for confession and redemption.

He made a mistake, and got rebuked for it. Then he continued to argue and make the same mistake over and over. That's not confession or redemption.

Alignment is relative.

No, it isn't. There are absolute standards, and just because you think you aren't evil while you massacre babies and burn the innocent, you're still getting a (Red Aura) as soon as I notice it.

Ditto for Ethos and Sphere.
