And yes, an Assassin's Creed reference.
I'm talking about their purposes. The Assassin strive to let mankind have freedom, by murdering Templars. The Templars strive to create a perfect world, by using the Pieces of Eden to reshape the world into a perfect one. At first I would have sided with the Assassins, as I believe that freedom should always be a human right but gradually I started to think that maybe a perfect world, a utopia, might be best for mankind.
Why I think that a perfect world might be better is because of mankind's nature to exploit everything they can find for greed. For example, exploiting people's compassion to collect alms under false pretences or assaulting a helpless lady for money. I think this way also because of ruthless dictators of the past, present and future, like Stalin or Hitler or Kim Jong Il and because of corrupt people wielding power bought by force and doing anything to protect their position, like our Syrian president, Bashar al-Assad who might I add owns a pretty lame moustache. I could go on and on rambling about how messed-up society is but I will end with two people, Honey Boo-Boo's parents.
The ironic thing about the Templars is that they will stop at nothing until they get a perfect world and that means that we will have no freedom, as freedom is what creates the sewage of society, if you think about it. That also means that in a way, the Templars are dictators, which is exactly against what they wanted - a perfect world.
The Assassins murder and steal to fight against the Templars, allowing mankind to keep their freedom. Fighting against corrupt people wielding great power. That is pretty honourable, but is fighting against the Templars, who strive for the greater good through inhumane ways, really beneficial to mankind?
So who would you root for, the Assassins or the Templars?

when you think about it (say in toby style, thank you for your cooperation -Pokey)
every body has a different opinion on what is a perfect world
eg one person will think a perfect world would mean a world just like MC
some think peace is the path to a perfect world( and my KEYS ARE GETTING STUCK)
and so i go foar teh assassins cos yey for teh freedums because when templars say perfect world they might mean perfect fo them but not for teh rest of the peoples so yeahhhh
Oh, and yes you do deserve more views like the guy underneath me said :D
