Purely out of curiosity, I would like to ask an expert:

Is Naupilus making up bits of scripture, or just horribly misinterpreting the existing one?

By no means an expert, but a quick search of the existing scriptures seems to say yes.

Now, now, Prophets make Scripture, that's how it works.

More specifically, Scripture is Written by Prophets who win - much like History. To be sure, Prophet Nauplius has not won yet. But neither has he lost, as demonstrated by the ever increasing reach of his Word.

In the past, he has referenced actual Scripture.

Now he is claiming direct revelation from God. To my knowledge, none of what he has posted here has been affirmed by the Theology Council, and so it has no Scriptural validity. I've never heard of any Book of Bloodletting. It reeks of Sani Sabik influence and could be from the Apocrypha if he didn't just write it himself. It is heresy either way.

Evidently I now condone genocide??

Perhaps it was all the crash?

First, a clarification. There is Scripture and then scripture. The former is approved texts, certified by the Theology Council. The latter is, well, any religious document. I know of some Federation polytheists that have their own set of scripture. The heretic's writing is not approved by the Theology Council. (No, I have not checked. I don't have to. Drinking blood is strictly forbidden.) Whether it's some Sani Sabik text, I do not know, as I do not read Sani Sabik texts.

Now, the Kingdom, where this heretic hails from, does not follow the Theology Council's edicts. They do, however, use much of the same Scripture as the Empire. Again, I do not read Kingdom texts, so I cannot delineate the difference. Whether this is a bit of Kingdom scripture, I do not know; though, I seriously doubt it.

I'm serious though, I want the Sani Sabik to take him and test his mettle. I would be disappointed to see someone claiming to be a prophet get away without being thoroughly tested and tried.

I am saddened that the community has so far been completely negligent in asking the hard questions.

I'll start.

Will your new found space importance lead to any delightful soirees, Prophet Nauplius?

It's very clear that whatever else you could pin on it, Amarrian religion isn't to blame for this one. Nauplius is clearly the kind of damaged individual who would murder people en masse without any excuse at all.

Ms. Savonarola,

The militias are regulated as part of CONCORD Assembly law under the terms of the CONCORD Emergency War Powers Act. They are unique in that they are not direct adjuncts of a national military, and operate solely to permit the conduct of conflict by capsuleers. The entry level into a militia either as an individual or as part of a corporate entity has been notoriously low, and as far as I'm aware there has been no requirements such as background checks in order to join a militia.

Such is the nature of capsuleers I suppose that hypothetically it's possible to have a heretic or blood raider in the 24IC; a gurista or provist in the Protectorate; an angel cartel or slaver in the TLF; or a serpentis and terrorist in the FDU. The militias are not permitted to conduct Quality Assurance as regards capsuleer assets to the same extent as a national Navy because CONCORD does not wish it to be so.

I'd say neither. Aggressive behaviour is more indicative of Exile use.
Although some say that "Religion is the Booster of the masses."
Which is utter rubbish, of course. Religion won't make your guns track quicker or soup-up your AAR.

While I'm here I'd like to add my congratulations to Praetorian Kernher for her victory over Pilot Nauplius in one-to-one frigate combat (best combat). It's good to see a strong woman actually taking action against her enemies, rather than all the hand-wringing and buck-passing that's been going on over the man.
Frigateers, I salute you.

So anyone who calls themselves themselves a prophet can have a roll of the historical dice? Not an expected viewpoint from an Amarrian if it's not too bold to say.

Why not?

Here is a little bit of (obviously a little bit silly) theology.

Throw a million ideas against a wall. The ones that stick obviously had god's influence backing them. Adopt those as your newest religious tenants.

Religions are ideas. Ideas are viruses. The successful ones propagate and influence. The unsuccessful ones die on the vine.

The Book of Bloodletting, Chapter Three is True Scripture, lately revealed by God unto Nauplius, a Prophet of God. Those who have heard this Revelation and reject it abide under the wrath of God, for as the Scriptures say, "To know the true path, but yet, to never follow it. That is possibly the gravest sin."

I admit to being inexperienced at social gatherings, much less hosting social gatherings; I have been a solo pilot for some time.

However, should God ask that I join with other Empyreans in the drinking of the blood — the blood of those whom God has given over to destruction — then I would obey the will of God.

Its gotta be something hallucinogenic at this point. When people start thinking they are prophets and writing scripture, more often than not they've been artificially sightseeing a bit too much.

Why are you so mean Nauplius? And why must your entire motivational spectrum be completely dependant on a third party source? I'd understand if you were mean for the sake of it, but your entire justification is that someone else told you to.

Can't you just love God and his misanthropy in a peaceful and pious manner? Preferably inside the comfort of a secluded temple?
