What point is there in preaching from Dawn if all you can do, If you see the light, is to delete delete. Lets face it, Praying will not work. Some power that can change you to Good is needed, then the Dawn would actually be able to change something.

Well.. Becoming good is pretty different from becoming evil.
Swearing oath is like selling your soul to the Emperor, to
become a soldier, a pawn in the hands of the mighty, with a
small chance to keep your free will if you manage to hide it
deep inside. You sign a contract for your life with fear of death
if you fail to serve well. This is true evil.

Now, becoming good has to be much harder. Yeah, I killed
234 people then I saw the light, please, I wanna be goodie-goodie.
I don't think that allowing mortals let people become good aligned
shall be good. If you (I mean in character) decide to become good,
try to cleanse yourself of all the evil you have done in the past,
and most important, that you are sure you shall never return to it,
then your roleplaying is strong enough, you have good chances if you
talk with the Gods.

Reabilitation in the eyes of others, in your own eyes
is much more harder. To become really evil in the eyes of others in
real life you may massacre a family, to turn to good in the eyes of
the people after that you have to spend years of your life.
