As one of the greatest Sani Sabik philosophers of the modern era (Ask Cardinal Graelyn), people often turn to me for advice on theological matters.

One such frequently asked question is this:
"Dear Archbishop Valerie, what is the difference between nonrighteousness and unrighteousness? sincerely, A Perplexed Person."

To which I of course answer:
"Dear perplexed person, I am not an Archbishop."

I have many titles, such as Doctor Valate, on account of my unsurpassed research into Takmahl archaeology, but Archbishop is not one of them,

So. what is the difference between Unrighteousness and Nonrighteousness, you ask ?

Well, it is quite simple. The Nonrighteous person does not know that they are not behaving Righteously. The Unrighteous person does know that they are not behaving Righteously.

For it is Written: To know the true path, but never to follow it, that is the greatest sin.

So, let us consider a practical example. A Gallente person wears a dress that shows both Leg and cleavage. Because they are a Gallente person, and thus, unfamiliar with works of Scripture such as The Book of Fashion for the Righteous Amarr Lady, the Gallente person is unaware that a dress that shows both leg and cleavage is tarty, and so, cannot be condemned for wearing the dress, instead, they must have their error explained to them, in a sympathetic manner.

However, should a person who is familiar with Fashion for the Righteous, wear such a dress, then, they can be condemned as being Unrighteous, because they know that the dress is Tarty and unbecoming of a Righteous Lady.

So then, it becomes clear that while Gallente, Caldari, or Minmatar people may occasionally or indeed frequently, engage in activities that Righteous people dislike, then the Compassionate Righteous person, such as myself, for I am a proverbial Angel of Compassion, cannot really condemn those poor unguided souls. Instead, we must educate and guide the lost, as is Written in the Apocryphon.

Instead, condemnation must be reserved for the unrighteous Unbelievers of the Theology Council, who twisted the Word of Scripture to suit their petty political schemes, and who blaspheme against God as a result.

And let that be a lesson to you!

Does your "Book of Fashion for the Righteous Amarr Lady" instruct you to wear such garish makeup? That is tarty.

Confirming that Samira does not wear dresses that show EITHER cleavage or leg.

I find it ironic that a supposedly heretical Sabik cultist and her Apocryphon are far more compassionate and tolerant than the True Amarr and their Scriptures. The Sabik try to convert through education and evangelism while the Amarr... well, we all know how they operate.

It's a shame that the extreme Sabik sects have to ruin everything with their kidnapping and murder.

...And slavery, kidnapping, shock collars, Vitoc, forced labor, slaver hounds, etc.

How convenient that you've forgotten those things, Kernher. Or have your empress and god abandoned that whole "reclaiming" thing?

Ava, can I get some of that popcorn?

I know what schools are. I attended several, because you know, Amarr has plenty of them, some older than your nation. I was attending them while I was a slave, even. Mind-blowing it might be.

A proper school and a proper teacher just recognizes that you have to actually discipline students if you want to insure that they learn appropriate behavior.
