Intergalactic Summit

Thank you Ms Priano for your timely post.

I hope we can have productive debates on matters like these in the future with civility and a mutual understanding, taking in to account that we might not ultimately agree but must respect each other's position. That was the point on respect that I was implying in my previous posting.

Appeal to emotion harder. Maybe if you try again but are super serious this time for reals it might work on someone.

Perhaps since Mr Kraid has been politely asked to stop, and seemingly has, it would be only fair that we cease the rebuttals.

To the topic at hand, I sincerely hope that the upcoming trials show the power of faith. May it be God's will.

I had a quoted out post, but it was lost to a communications error.

I would like to thank Onzo for actually bearing with me and explaining things. I think maybe I understand a bit more even if I still remain largely ignorant, and I appreciate him taking the time to explain where everyone else has just said I have no faith and I don't understand without bothering to educate me so that I might actually gain those things.

The God's will/plan/etc. makes a bit more sense now, and how it relates to things, though as an ignorant outside. I still must ask, though, don't you think, if this really was a bad choice, that Khanid will get exactly what he deserves?

Also, I wasn't trying to question your faith. In fact, I think faith is important, whether or not it is attached to a religion or the divine, since faith is little different than trust and we can't have a functioning society without that. What I take massive issue with is when people alter facts to support beliefs, when, as a scientist, the first duty is to let fact inform beliefs, and be prepared to let go of what you think is true in light of new data.

I will exit the discussion and apologize for a poor choice of words, but I won't apologize for sticking my nose in your business and asking about recent events in your politics. As is the way of the Summit, not so long ago you were discussing the politics of other nations even occasionally interjecting with regards to the turmoil the State endured in recent history.

edit:I would also like to note, my previous post was being written around the time Onzo's post had been recorded, so I didn't get the chance to read it before my own post had been recorded.

Del.
Here there was a text.

Good question.
It's important to note that is not simply enough to have faith. We must also act on our faith. Lest we all sit around the fire waiting for God to smite the enemy that has surrounded us.
It is every Amarrian's duty to act as the embodiment of God's plan. And it is plain to see that we are not given daily instructions, but must look to scripture, our past, our leaders, and the universe for guidance. And be prepared to have our faith tested, have our mistakes laid before us, only when it is all laid bare, can we hope to know God.

No righteous Amarr will recognize Khanid as heir, nor as emperor. He is a traitor and heretic that has clearly used his time since Her Imperial Majesty's forgiveness to plant seeds of corruption in the Empire to try and validate his wickedness.

Khanid as heir, and Tetrimon suppression edict lifted? No one but the emperor of Amarr may order these things! There are demons infesting the highest levels of the Empire. It is the Red Chamberlain, all over again.

Those are heavy accusations, Lieutenant, that should not be made lightly. I would suggest that we should adopt a bit more of a wait and see approach to these admittedly disturbing events. The right course for Amarr will make itself clear.

That said, the issue of Khanid having selected a heretic as a potential champion is cut and dry. Open supporters of heresy have no place in a Holy Rite such as the Succession Trials. I seriously hope that Khanid is unaware of Edeity's allegiance and that he immediately works to show that his selection of a heretic was not the insult to everything holy that it appears to be.

Let the boy keep whatever company he wishes. Our paths will eventually need to cross, and I assure you my twin swords of judgement will cut him down so thoroughly that all will mistake him for a beggar, crawling on his knees.
