Brambles:

Aside from the occasional joke, I don't tend to focus on the atrocities committed by other religious fanatics, most of which occurred hundreds of years before my birth, because I'm not that big of a hypocrite.

The second aspect of my Lady rules over the Flesh, holding all acts of the Flesh to be sacred. Unlike some other watered down sex deities, this doesn't just include things which beget pleasure.

Pain is not all she stands for, but it is sacred to her. It is one of the main reasons I don't have too much of a problem with my own pain issues, as if I'm going to be the chosen of a Primordial Proto-Goddess who rules over such things, then I can't really whine too loudly when I'm forced to experience them.

Basically I could indiscriminately commit just about any heinous atrocity known to man and my Lady would be just as pleased by my conduct as if I were to offer aid and comfort to those in need of such niceties.

It's not about right or wrong, as there really isn't such a concept aside from what society has brainwashed us into believing....pain has it's place in the balance. Suffering and destruction are necessities.

I am a strong believer in the Balance, and as such, my faith dictates that all things have an equally important purpose, including those which might be a bit too harsh for the majority to swallow.

I walk the path of the Twisting Briar, so it only makes sense that I'm willing to embrace the thorns which surround me, even as they tear and rend at my own flesh.
