Intergalactic Summit

Are you writing this with a gun to your head or something? They got a hostage on you? Because if you're trying to pick up Holder ladies, this ain't gonna work, bro.

And you missed my point entirely. Questioning someone's policy is not the same as calling the person into question. In fact, there's a name for the latter: ad hominem. Furthermore, debates about policy are a normal part of a functioning society. Suppressing them causes worse problems.

Why should we extend them this courtesy when they come unwelcome into threads that are Matari internal matters? I recall a good many doing so in Pilot Starfire's thread seeking answers from the Tribal Council, as a recent example.

So long as they see fit to interrupt our discussions with their petty agendas and lies I'll continue to return the favor.

This is because unorthodox beliefs in the Empire have the tendency to cause quite a lot of violent crime. Heretical cults (the Sani Sabik), religious terrorism (The Tetrimon), revolutions (any number of insurrections based on doctrine differences), and in this case a potential uprising against the Empress. Ideas are like fire; useful when controlled and directed correctly, but dangerous when let loose upon kindling.

It is simple. We are not Amarr. Aspire to be better than them, Pilot Rella. Wise men speak only when they have something to say. Fools when they have to say something. Do not be the fool.

Good to know the Admiral has time from all his other pressing duties to be making a list and checking it twice, so the MIO knows who is naughty or nice!

Just as a sidebar: The MIO receives about 675,000 such lists from wannabe informants weekly, they are all properly placed in the circular file beside the desk of the public information officer.

Of course the grand Admiral with so much time on his hands thinks his name and capsuleer corp credentials will save his list from this ignominious fate I am sure. lol

But in case I am incorrect, as unlikely as that seems, I have the number one name that should be on the list of heretics that the MIO should investigate, Jamyl Sarum.

One of the most distinctive aspects of the succession process is that once a new Emperor has been chosen, the remaining four Heirs must commit ritual suicide. This is done to minimize the risk of conflict between the new Emperor and the old Privy Council; by removing all the old Heirs and replacing the Privy Council with those next in line within the five royal families, the slate is wiped clean.
If the MIO can just explain why she is not dead, according to our trafitions, or not a capsuleer or Merc clone, that would bring peace of mind to a majority of holders in the Amarr Empire. Do you have time to add her to the list grand admiral?

We have had another Emperor who thought himself divine in our past and the loudly pious supplicants of this reincarnation of that idiocy will likewise be reviled and purged from our history.True Amarr worship God, not those tasked with enforcing his will from the Imperial Throne, and if you do not know this, and hold it dear to your Amarrian heart, then add your own name after Jamyl Sarum's so it too can be struck from the Book of Records.

If you think your corp has the power to threaten those loyal to the cause of the True Amarr faith be forewarned we have well learned the lessons of 21930 AD and the conclusion of the last Amarr Civil War on this issue, and our well trained mercs are ready for any Imperial challenge that dares to rear its head. The Council of Apostles remain loyal to the true God of Amarr, now and forever.

It would be my understanding that mister... ahem, "Slaver Filth" doesn't recognise the authority of the Theology Council, as he claims to be a member of the Council of Apostles, who would (in his opinion) hold the only rightful claim to the ability to determine Imperial legitimacy.

It is so interesting that someone so fascinated with my name would claim to be a member of an alliance named.... ahem "The Cursed Few" ........ a flower by any other name is just as fragrant.

So let me get this straight.

You're willing to believe in a God that defies all known laws of logic and physics, whom despite being omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent could not deliver its religious scriptures person but rather required a series of deeply unreliable human proxies to transcribe its wisdom in the neccessarily fallible written and spoken languages of humans, whose strictures placed upon a society that had barely crawled out of the Iron Age are supposed as holistic and applicable to today's modern civilizations as they were back then, whose very existence is intentionally veiled from the people who through its own decrees require its guidance the absolute most and whose chosen servants - through which it must for some unknown reason reconquer the very universe it created, possesses in totality and is omnipresent within - were gifted with esoteric and misinterpretable religious knowledge rather than an unlimited supply of warp cores and plasma cannons... but you're not willing to believe that one woman literally came back from the dead without recourse to cloning?

You know, I used to think that the Amarrians claiming she'd been miraculously returned to life were being unreasonable, but given the weight of other unlikely things that Amarrians believe without question on a daily basis, such specific and narrow skepticism suddenly seems incredibly arbitrary.

Religion is not an Amarrian invention. Who shall scape whipping?
