So what this means is that in trying to know of god, we seek & find salvation? Even as heretics?

Why am I a necromancer? Personally.

*self sufficiency
*independence
*less boundaries
*freedom
*to help create other classes

There is something that feels compelling. The liftetap. Shadow magic. Using destruction to feed my life, or the life of those that I love. Am I staying long after I should have passed on? I feel like God wants me here, and I want a safe easy place to reside, so I reside in EQ in my mind, I rest with the dead of Nektulous. They are my allies and care for me, though I do not wish to force them to, I would prefer to ask. Though in asking for the help of the dead, I am bargaining my own life away. My own soul and spirit. Could I destroy myself in this endeavor?

Previously I always found necromancers, and conversely maybe enchanters and shamans to 'hard to play'. I played a cleric. I feel like I have been asked to step away from the roll of the healer, and learn to become a teacher, or just find peace in this life so that I may move on without fear and pain.
