From the beginning of this sorry debacle I noted the following:

Quote:
...sacrificing three Minmatar, one of each boodline, upon the Altar of God,...


Thus proving that our correspondent has difficulty counting. Last I checked there are more than three tribes.

Also, Commander Kim, I'm afraid there are a lot of Sanists that believe in the concept of a Red God. Not all of them are as odd as this one but there are more than a few that are a close match. So ending Nauplius can't kill the meme. If it were that easy the MIO would have made Sani Sabik a memory centuries ago.

Mr. Ogunkoya, as far as I understood it, Mr. Nauplius has different God from other Sanists. These Gods share the name though. If I remember correctly, he has his own religion named "Naupliusism". Better though if you will ask him about it. I only reember him referencing to himself as "Prophet of God and leader of the sect of Naupliusism"

Honored are the dead, for their legacy guides us.

I do not doubt that the individual in question maintains his own cult. However, "Naupliusism" tracks poorly.

I would suggest "Nauplites."

Sin is weakness, ergo only the weak commit sin. What the strong do cannot be a sin.

Out of interest. What is your definition of weakness? And what is your definition of strength?

You think that a definition is important. You look to common meaning for a consensus of understanding.

Strength is telling what is what, because you tell with action that cannot be stopped. Weakness is incapability of acting of ones own will. Mentally bound and constrained, life slowly draining away in support of anothers plans.

What is strength? Is it strength to slaughter the unworthy?
Is it strength to massacre the unarmed? I think not.

But neither is I strength to arm thy foe. It is not strength to add the weak to the fold.
What then may strengthen the mind without withering the body?

The only way to gain strength is to become weak.
Once you are weak you may become strong.

Some call me insane. If the universe is sane, then I embrace that label.

To be strong means to be able to overcome an obstacle. To be weak means failing to overcome an obstacle.

As such, strength and weakness are both transient and very much beholden to circumstances and situations. One can always be strong in one thing and weak in another, and if the situation changes, the areas of strength and weakness can also change.

A Minmatar warship is like a rusting Beetle with 500 horsepower Cardillac engines in the rear, armour plating bolted to chassis and a M2 Browning stuck on top.

The glory of the Red God is just!

Along any path, one walks.

At some, varying, point, one stumbles.

Afterwards, one's feet are more firmly planted forever more.

Blessed are the ones whose feet get planted upon the Red Path.

Blessed are we all as all paths eventually converge to the Red Path!

The Red Path will flow with each step!

Each step shall bring His Glory, Strength, and Blessing!

Each step shall bring us closer to Him!
