Intergalactic Summit

The EoM believe that humanity is not to remain in this cluster. In that they are mistaken, for God has given over all the worlds of the heavens to be Reclaimed, and I seek not the overthrow the Scriptures, but only the Restoration of what has been lost (by generations of liberalism, among other things).

God has not ordered the destruction of the Caldari. It is the will of God that the Caldari someday join the Reclaiming voluntarily, as did the Khanid before them, and He sent the Prophet Tibus Heth to Reclaim the Gallente. However, Molok the Deceiver is a wily foe, and turned the Caldari people against their Prophet. However, our God is a patient God, and will not tire of guiding the Caldari toward their true destiny, the Destiny of Faith. May we live to see it done.

Dude, whatever you're taking... I'd advise you cut down a bit.

There is another lesson to be learned from Chapter Three of the Book of Bloodletting. Note that when God rejects the Emperor Ashura-hash, He does not also reject the Amarr people as a whole, just as when Amash-Akura sinned against God for a time, God did not reject the entire Amarr people, who as in the time of Ashura-hash, remained and always will remain the Chosen of God, elected from the foundation of the world to Reclaim all the heavens, Paradise being their birthright.

I do not now reject my Amarr and Khanid heritage, even as I accept that I can no longer safely walk on Amarr and Khanid planets (even my home, Danera V) outside of CONCORD juristiction. I seek instead the Restoration of the Amarr Faith, apart from such innovations as the Theology Council (lately fallen into liberalism) and with the full fury and wrath of a holy and righteous God permitted its righteous expression — the God to whom Molok was sacrificed; the God who drowns sinners in their own blood. I pray that Her Majesty Jamyl Sarum free herself from the shackles of decaying, un-Scriptural institutions and as the Scriptures say, live the lives of her subjects and breath the air of authority.

Yes, were I a nubile female, my message would be better received. So be it — perhaps this is a Test of Faith unto the Empyreans, that they learn to evaluate prophecy apart from the appearance of the prophet. Amen. Amarr Victor.

Yes, you're quite right. It is definitely the messenger and not the message. I'm sure if you were a 'cute nosed, round bottomed' Sebiestor girl, it would all be different.

This is so crazy it's hilarious.

Ms. Gesakaarin,
I can understand your viewpoint. You've a very common misunderstanding with regards to the Amarr Empire. Unlike all the over major powers in the cluster, the Empire is not a secular institution. The Empire is mandated in Scripture and it's institutions and agents act with both temporal and spiritual power. We have two court systems. The secular courts, the Civic Courts, is considered lesser to the Theology Council courts. Put simply, there is no way to disentangle our religion with our way of life.
A very common analogy that I used when I was the cultural attache in the Federation is to imagine a cake. There's some flour, some sugar, eggs, butter, milk and so on. They are mixed thoroughly and then baked. Imagine the Empire as that cake, with religion as flour and temporal matters as sugar. There is no way to separate the two. They do not simply work closely, they are the same. The Empress is the head of state, but also our religious leader as well. As a holder, I have not just an obligation to administer my holding in a civic manner, but ensure the spiritual well being of my citizens. The Archbishop of Solfete has a seat in the Contea council, along with my ministers of finance, justice, security, education and so on.
Hopefully, I've explained it in such a way that you see now why a heretic in the 24th IC is troubling to the Amarr. It is not just a military organization, but a religious one as well. The Empire's wars are not for crass things such as resources or territory, but one of souls. We conquer peoples to save them, sometimes from themselves. The prisoners of war we take in this current conflict are enslaved and taught the Imperial Faith, so that, when this fighting is long past, the Minmatar will be faithful citizens of the Empire. (Of course, I would personally be happy if a peace treaty could be worked out and we could live in peace, but that seems unlikely to happen.) Having a heretic in the crusade disrupts and taints it's purpose and essence.

Un-baking a cake is just an engineering challenge that nobody's bothered to tackle yet. Though I confess, I don't see why you would want to when eating it is a perfectly valid option.

I thank you, Prophet Nauplius, for your guidance; and, commend you for splintering petrified growths which threaten Amarrian distinction.

The Sisterhood must have been very pleased with itself, indeed, for afflicting our Empire with prattling emasculations of Faith. But you have stirred the pot most enthusiastically, and freed its congealed surface of dry, homogenous crust. As the meats twirl within their broth, we see outlined the structure of relationships previously kept hidden.

In this way, Understanding Increases - and once again by both our visions, the Universe is Reclaimed.

Such is the Beauty of God!

Crash is a hell of a drug.
