Shame on you CONCORD for Promoting Sacrilege

It would appear that CONCORD has taken it upon themselves to distribute to capsuleers for free a text that supports sacrilegious and improper behaviour!

This is a disgraceful act from a supposedly neutral body. I have in the past kept quiet when others have condemned CONCORD for unamarrian activities, but I will hold my tongue no more.

Down with this sort of thing!

When I became Aware of the Existence of this Text, I asked for a Signed Copy, because Comparative Theology is one of my Hobbies.

I have Not Received A Signed Copy.

Therefore, I join Admiral Blake, in Expressing Disapproval At This State Of Affairs.

Synthia 1, Empress of Kaztropol.

It is Written.

I can only attribute this failure by CONCORD's delivery system by way of a typo, as the latter is far more concerning.

I am however, not sure to understand the correlation between a neutral entity and an amarrian sacrilege.

How can it be a sacrilege to said neutral entity?

Sacrilege is objective.

But-- isn't what is sacred subjective? An Achuran monk and a Sebiestor shaman would, after all, hold different things in high regard.

What's more, if this isn't contraband in the Empire, then how bad can it be?

I mean, it's not like this is the only text widely available. Wasn't there a prior mass distribution of the Pax Ammaria? And wasn't that subject to a particularly strident edict? Maker, I've got copies of a lot of heterodox manuscripts. These things aren't exactly hard to find.

I guess what I'm trying to say is this. With all due respect, as an outsider, it can sometime seem as if the more conservative Imperial subjects are on a constant quest to find things to be offended about.

Sacrilege is objective.


Ah what a conundrum.

Obviously, they do not seem to consider it a sacrilege.

And for free? Would have it been better if people had to pay to read a sacrilege?

Isn't there an issue in the reasoning? If sacrilege is objective, and heathens not educated in matters of the Faith fail to see a sacrilege, how can they be condemned for something they have not been taught?

Aren't Ardishapur usually so pride of their schools?

There is but one God, and His Voice is the Emperor of Amarr.

This will all be made clear, come the Reclaiming.

They didn't choose to be born into sin, but they are choosing not to Reclaim themselves. The avenue to Amarr is not unknown to them in today's cluster.

It's 'proud'. So 'proud' of our schools.

Well, there is Sacred on one hand, and what we hold for sacred on the other, as well as there is the Divine, and what we hold for being divine. Our interpretation of God's will is merely that, interpretation, always changing, evolving, as History is proof enough of it.

That is what is subjective.

Changing in the hope to eventually reach the Divine, the perfection.

That is what is objective.

Claiming objectivity of one's Faith, Amarr or anything else, is a sin of arrogance to enormous proportions, added to the fact that it is rationally patently false.

It basically equates to claim having the same insight as God.

You slavers need to calm down. Go take a nice long bath, then have a massage followed by a good glass of alcohol and relax. Geez Louise do you always have to see new stuff to be offended about? I don't recall mass protests when CONCORD handed out copies of Pax Amarria. You can't have it both ways.

When the world is running down, you make the best of what's still around.

Really?

You are complaining about concord who does nothing about pirates (indeed it protects them), and hinders PI based on some arbitrary date (why would anyone with any common sense set up a PI colony?) - in fact concord is so useless they even allowfemale strippers the same status as male strippers.... let's face it CONCORD is less than useless

and now you are complaining about some book - that no one has read - or indeed can read

Let me know which candidate you favour and I'll vote for the someone else.... I've got my voting slip somewhere.... though having said that I'll sell it to you for 10billion ISK

I have a few colonies.... Nanite repair paste, the various fuels and mobile cyno inhibs are great. Making them is cheaper too (for the most part) and it somewhat helps local economies. And why shouldn't female exotic dancers be treated equally?
