Re: Help me name some "evil virtues"

I am trying to further develop this concept. I envision a scene of ultimate disillusionment, where some of the characters (Iquinians) are dismayed to discover that all the virtues and values on which they have built their lives turn out to be lies made up in order to enslave man to some dark powers. A very Cthulhu-esque process of discovering that all that is thought to be good and beautiful is an illusion, and that the true world is dark, cruel and evil. (In case anyone was wondering, it's some very dark fantasy I am writing. :P)

As such, I am looking for more ideas on how to hide evil intent behind seemingly noble ideals. Interference's suggestions about Charity and Hope are good. If anyone has more, please post them.

Thanks.

Hell no. Anarchy is not a virtue. Remember, this religion is designed to control people, not throw them into chaos.

I'm not sure I understand what you are saying here.
