Intergalactic Summit

My advice to people is simply not to talk to members of Goonswarm. As Alizabeth Vea aptly demonstrated, they are of little intellectual worth and make mistakes that geometrically increase in severity the longer people don't pay attention to them.

To date, none of you have addressed this. Crusaders who avoid answering for their own missteps.

Everything about you, and yours are contrary, and it is best if all within your crusade remain silent.

And no, none of Max's arguments to capsuleers, especially in nullsec, have yet included any Amarr law or scripture - but if they did, it's likely that that would make them less likely to be successful. If you have the option of being subtle, and successful, or blatant, and failing, then why would you choose the latter?

My intent, as I said, is not to defend someone's choices, but to offer up information...

It would be believed, because Her Imperial Majesty speaks with the Voice of God. The Emperor of Amarr and the Theology Council are the people charged to carry forth God's message. Their word is indisputable law.

And if the Empress and the Theology Council disagree with one another?

On the eve of the unnecessary deaths of millions, a clear response to some of the ideas put forth by Maximilian Singularity is necessary. At the present juncture, my words will do nothing to prevent the carnage soon to come, but I present them as a continued confession of faith, a declaration of Amarr identity in the face of an assault that seeks to destroy it. This attack upon what it is to be Amarr seeks to substitute the clarity of God, Scripture, and history for the glory of one man and the expediencies of one moment. This attack must be resisted. This attack is a test, and in this test the Faith will find strength but not in the way Singularity expects.

The great danger of this attack and how it is clearly opposed to God can be most easily seen in the organization and the individual who leads it. The assault upon the Empire and the Faith has been described as a cleansing “inquisition” and the action of a “Sixth Empire,” under the direction of a “pope” who would be an emperor if he could. I will first respond to what Singularity describes his so-called “Sixth Empire” to be. I will then describe what this organization actually is.

Singularity’s Empire makes no mention of the Lord, but many references to both himself and to capsuleers as if they were gods. Regard how he has described the “Sixth Empire” to me:
“The Sixth Empire is not a thing you can join, nor quit. It is not a thing that is united, in fact, it excels when it is divided. It can not fall, it can only rise. It is the very thing that has made CVA, The Imperium and all the alliances stronger over the years. It is the exclusive realm of Capsuleers where we strengthen by our divided adversity. It is a realization. An idea. A bad idea, a good idea both in one where duality of confusion leads only to the infusion of STRENGTH.”

These notions make little logical sense and even less sense when an attempt is made to reconcile them with the Lord’s Scriptures and the Amarr tradition. Even the most unlearned seminary student can see these flaws, and I apologise for rehearsing basic elements of Amarr doctrine in my response to them. The duty of the Reclaiming is unity. This unity is the goal of the Lord, who wishes that all of His creatures be returned to Him. Singularity says that his “empire,” in contrast thrives on permanent division: “It is not a thing that is united, in fact it excels when it is divided.” In these words, he seems to suggest that the final goal of the “empire” is not a Reclaiming to God but endless division, death, and self-glory. Where is any reference to God? Where is any reference to the Scriptures? This is not a faithful “empire” it is something else.

In addition, Singularity calls for legal inquest while breaking the law. Amarr law is based on the Lord and His Scriptures. Singularity cites none of these. What law does he claim to enforce? If one enforces notions born from one’s own mind outside of any tradition or legitimate government, this is not law. It is pure tyranny, a farcical pantomime of legitimacy. He promises you freedom and an end of slavery, as long as you submit to his novel notions and all his demands. To all others he offers only death, with endless contempt for the rest of humanity. He participated in what his band of terrorists called “Burn Amarr” feeling “no pity” for the countless thousands killed (even the crews of merchant ships whose “crime” was travelling in a system he had chosen to indiscriminately attack for the promulgation of terror). He does all these actions to underline the Empress’ supposed wickedness and his own supposed nobility. Judging by their evident fruits, which is the more poisoned? Indeed, far from heaping scorn on the Empress, he exalts her by comparison.

Singularity appears to discount that capsuleers are involved with and, in fact, servants to the Lord. Our role is to further His plan for all of humanity, not just ourselves. An exclusive “empire” of capsuleers is an offense against this basic truth. We are servants of the Lord, even those of us who do not know it. What singularity outlines is not the Amarr faith; it is a capsuleer-centred death cult. Indeed, the so-called “Sixth Empire” resembles more a monument of homicidal vanity, a twisted idolatry of the self to the expense of God. As I have argued before, submission to the Lord above all else is the essence of Amarr (https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5831129). Singularity promises you a slavery to the self, rather than submission to God that will make you free. The Lord’s true Empire is for all of humanity. It is the destination of all peoples. Let us, faithful, re-affirm our ultimate allegiance to the Lord, to His plan and to his one, only, holy, Amarr Empire. Amarr Victor! Faithful to God forever!

is it not reasonable to say that there can be temporal conflict among the faithful, and that unity with your God does not necessarily require unity with your political apparatus?

Is it not also reasonable to think that Maximilian Singularity may be attempting to guide capsuleers by degrees? To first harness their energy in a way that will later allow him to introduce them to concepts from the Amarr faith and scriptures, rather than attempt to stand in front of them and yell out scripture verse now in a gesture that would surely be almost completely ignored and ineffective?

Not much factual information here I can debate. Pity.

... yet he has no support from the very people he has come from, The Amarr! A nullsec coalition and a few rag tag outlaws and other ignorants does not the support of an entire cluster make...
