Heart of Amarr Dying or Dead?

In order to consciously develop the mental initiative to oppress another individual one has to suppress their morality, ignoring empathetic guilt occurring from a sense of responsibility for the possession; the need to see the enslaved fellow human experience life parallel to the state of the oppressor rises. Amarr guise this emotion by reconciling their need to impress spiritual enlightenment on their subjects. This premise lacks sincerity. Enslavement is an act of hostility that contradicts intentions of conversion.

Dishonor in light of acknowledging the existence of a peer and denial in accepting this truth results in loss of innocence; Innocence integral to the construct of the Amarr religion.

In growing cases Amarr youth subconsciously and consciously rebuke the influence of their parents and leaders. Generations of Amarr are secretly atheist citizens taking notes from liars in denial. They realize belief/faith is nothing short of stupidity. Fearing family repercussions instead of defection from the majority many of these youths embrace hate instead.

It is the human condition to feel. Hate as an emotion is second in potency to love in the emotional spectrum but does nothing for nourishing the spirit. Negativity only sedates the intellect allowing the self/soul to thirst in the vacuum of spirit. This is a direct contrast to the purpose of having faith. Those that choose to be patriotic must relinquish any hopes of developing a faith or sense of spirituality.

These two factors, loss of innocence and rise of hate among budding generations are the reasons the Amarr Empire’s religious traditions are counterproductive to their embrace of slavery. They have to give up their religion to hold on to slaves. Unfortunately the structure of religion is the only thing keeping these hate mongers from committing mass genocide within the ranks of the Amarr Church and civil rebellion among sects and houses of the Amarr bloodlines: military coups.

I would say this as a former Amarr trust fund baby.

Our ancient ties to the spiritual beginnings of our current state were noble at the start. Perversion of these real spiritual advances by politically minded priests has stained our history with blood turning a blind eye to faith and the quest for enlightenment. Our history has been documented and recorded in the halls of long hidden Amarr libraries. Truths and insights that will make the current philosophies developed solely for the promotion of slavery look like antics. Once the Empire has fallen I hope to be there to help unearth and translate these truths.

You really need to work on your diction, this thing reads like a University term paper.

*yawn*

Put a little zest in your persuasion instead of sounding like a computer read out.

It is posts like these which make me feel particularly slow-witted. I'm afraid that I have no idea what you are saying!

The Empire will still be around long after the Republic has become a half-remembered myth.

Mr. Ephesianos,
Your thoughts need but gain the company of others like you to plant the seeds of Reformation. Let a new empire be born through the collapse of slavery; an empire of mercy, intelligence and humble faith that seeks the betterment of all.

The Disciples of Ston bid you peace

The Amarr are very much dying, why i even have a few below deck bleeding out as we speak.

And i must agree with Sister Vitalia, you must do more to make your postings more lively, though you've raised some interesting points.

Well said, Ottom. I don't exactally agree on your view of faith, but you make compelling arguments.

That would be a compelling argument, if not a spooky warning to change my ways if I didn't make most of my money turning Blooder battleships into pretty scrapmetal sculptures for the Imperial Navy.

The Empire isn't going anywhere. If they can survive a Hounds Get like Karsoth then I'm pretty sure they will thrive under the Empress.

A well thought argument from tainted premises.

Ill begin with this:

"Only through many hardships
Is a man stripped to his very foundations
And in such a state
Devoid of distractions
Is his soul free to soar
And in this
He is closest to God"
- The Scriptures, Book of Missions 42:5

You have to reprocess this thought with the premise that we are ALL slaves either to ourselves or a belief.
Realizing this, we the Amarr choose to service others instead of the self. This is the strongest expression of love.

New age empire interpretations of scripture taken out of context will not blind us who know and follow the Original creator. That which wishes to see the product of humanities free will and judge him accordingly. Attempting to claim enslavement to God is like trying to lash yourself to the ocean. It is impossible to consider God in interest of the commodity of slaves. You are selling portraits to the blind but I will not be so gullible. Even as the faulty framework of the corrupt Amarr infrastructure fragments the power hungry zealots to a demi god eat their own young. Sell their youth the pride behind enslavement. And send these pilots into the ether to comprehend their own destinies. You wonder how Sansha could enlist and these are his Target consumer. Thanks to Amarr philosophy

You remind me of someone....

You are quite a bold person, to be making such claims about a faith in which you do not believe. Perhaps a visit to one of our churches is in order, so that you may better understand us.

In faith there is enough light for those who want to see and enough shadows to blind those who don't. You judge me, but I have freed slaves and spilled less blood than you have in your career. What does that say about you? Perhaps the misfortune of your family blinded your soul, your tale of lost innocence and hate is a reflection of your own struggles. Please spare me your hollow rhetoric, I am willing to debate the issue, but preferably without resorting to personal attacks and blasphemy.

EDIT to stay on subject:
Everyone knows that people aren't born with the norms and values that enable them to live together in harmony, they must be taught. Children must be taught to care for others than themselves and to obey the rules. Many people haven't been taught well, have learned the wrong values or have succumbed to egotistical and immoral desires: they become criminals. The Amarr just wish to correct that. Enslavement done correctly is the most effective and humane way to do this.

I come to you with words of kindness, the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see, remember that in the pursuit of wrong doing one steps away from God.

The Amarr themselves are but slaves to God. How could there be shame in serving God?

How there ever can be shame in serving?
Willingly serving, sacrificing own goals, own property and even own lives, it is what makes us humans as opposed to savages, who care only about their own hides.

When another freedom-loving scumbag dies in fire under my guns, I feel deep satisfaction for cleaning our imperfect world from another rotten smelly piece of filth.

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

Slowly im realising you never actually make a point in any of your post's, you just post about how awesome you are at shooting freedom loving filth, the Minmatar smell, or generally childish insult's.
Im starting to see why you hang out the back of the Amarrian's so much, the Caldari practise of promoting only the finest most intelligent officer's must get in your way having the IQ of a common Goldfish.

Hmm very enlightening.

Well two things I am not going to do is one: Get into a quoting competition with my mirror and two: Argue blood on my hands with an admitted slaver.

You claim to have set free people and have little blood on your hands but I might inquire as to how loose your philosophical interpretation of free is and how twisted your meaning behind having blood on your hands is. By endorsing slavery in any capacity you accept countless innocents lost under the bowels of slave ships. There is no way the literal blood on my hands could compare to the figurative blood on your own.

Taking these factors into account and the basic teachings of morality and faith instilled by all socially accepted religious structures it becomes obvious that the Amarr and the Sansha are on the same misinformation trip for the increased material power of slavery foregoing the loss of spiritual connectivity to ones own system of faith.

Depends on how deserving your God is of shame, itself.
