The Empress is not God, and is in fact, just God's representative.

This is something people should not forget.

The empress is nothing but a puppet of the theology council, the face of a corrupt empire rotting from within.

I saw Empress flying in Minmatar ship while she was visiting Caldari space. She is hypocrite for using slave ships to fly around. When she spoke at the diplomatic event i swear she had very deep manly voice. I think The Empress is a man.

She seems to be more passive than her predecessors. But when you look back at the Urium Kador offensive and the rest of recent Amarrian history it seems that the royal family is a little sick in the head.

Of course the Empress isn't God.

But she was appointed by God, and that's enough for me.

"Sick" in what way?

Also Khanid II has been doing just fine, thank you very much, for the last 500 or so years.

Sick in the sense that the royals are either being extremely dishonest or just insane. If you recall, Urium Kador was Pro-Gallente, launching an attack of that magnitude on them was rather odd don't you think?

We don't know the circumstances of what precipitaed that event, and I'm sure Heir Kador won't be sharing with the likes of us.

Hardly qualifies as sick.

Your history tells a different story.

The did not win the succession trials. therefore by the rules of your own people, she should have immediately killed herself.
The one who won, was killed by covenant forces, and replaced with a corrupt chamberlain for some time.
The Sarum cloned, a supposed crime against the very nature of the throne, and returned.

Sounds to me like she was appointed by science and military might.

You're making a lot of assumptions there.

There are other possibilities.

Is this something people make a habit of forgetting? Or are you mistaking deferrence to the voice of God for worship of God Himself? If one accepts the Empress as the right and true heir to the throne, then one also accepts her role as the will and leadership of God made manifest for His people to follow.

You are making the mistake of thinking that the Amarr do not consider science and military might to be signs of God's will. They very much do.

Do not make the mistake of underestimating your enemies or assuming them to be idiots.

It would appear numerous persons equate worship of God with worship of the Empress.

Amongst many inaccuracies about the Faith.

This is just so incredibly overwhelming, this information you have bestowed on me. I mean, I have no idea what you're trying to tell me so here's a few interpretations I can offer when completely void of context.


    *The Empress does not have power.
    *The Empress has great power.
    *The Empress only has great power when doing the will of God.
    *The Empress is in the position she is in by the will of God.
    *The Empress does the will of God.
    *The Empress might be doing the will of God.
    *God intends to do much more so don't be distracted by what the Empress does.
    *There is some confusion on the role the Empress plays, I'd like to just throw this out there for some reason I'm not really interested in saying, like some passive-aggressive comment to "no one in particular" or I'm otherwise very distracted right now and in the rush I meant to say something more but this is all I really managed to get out before running off to do something else.
    *I'm just as drunk or high as I look with my vacant grin and I accidentally posted this with the intent to do something else.

Maybe he isn't sick, but he is definitely a dishonest man. Dishonesty is a flaw is it not? Wouldn't the next in line to become a "God" have to be completely pure?

I understand those of lesser birth having difficulty understanding the true power and majesty of Gods will, however i would advise those who mock her to recall to mind her coronation speech. The Empress rules with Gods blessing, to question that is to merely exposing your ignorance.

If you should like to know more we have the facilities to help you understand Gods will, why within as few as 4 or 5 generations maybe your descendants will fully grasp the Glory of the Empire.

I'm also curious. And I'm sure he has been doing just fine indeed, Admiral.
