Like it says I use to be a Minmatar supporter how because I personally could relate but I was soon reborn as a pure Amarrian/Kameira clone to send death to all non-believers but I still hold true to my Minmatar ways.

And this interests me how?

My entertainment is not the point, shouting every petty little event that happens, regardless of race or corporation is my point. This is the Intergalactic Summit, not the Intergalactic Notice Board

There is a thin line between being faithful and blinding fanaticism.
If you fight for ISK or for faith, you should tread either path carefully.

You My friend live by false ideals, such as that of being superior than others, this will be de down fall of the Empire because it is just a matter of time before others just like the Minmatar rise against the oppression of the Empire.
You dare call members of the Federation dogs? When you and your Amarr counter parts are the ones that do the Empire's bidding without questioning it and do so happily. Members of the Empire are the true slaves. no better than dogs.

oh and by the way the test of time isn't a test. in the right hands it is a gift. time can erode and destroy mountains or it can produce a beautiful Forest. the lack of time threw the republic into a major war between galactic superpowers. while the ample time made the empire the most politically and economically stable society with the most sectors.

Excellent... another soul reclaimed by God, blessings upon you brother. I too was once Minmatar but I am no longer that, I'm Ammatar serving the empire for good in the name of God.

May you fight beside us and our holy empress or you will rule the day you were born.

I fight for Amarr in because i don't want to betray the empire after choosing my race ( i didn't even know what the empire fought for at the time) i really think the federation has the right ideas. (democracy,freedom of religion,even an immigrant can become wealthy in the federation.)
In the end im just staying loyal and not changing sides. Im proud to be amarr also

One does not need reason to be loyal to the Empress.

"All things were created by the Divine, and so the glory of our faith is inherent to us all;
When thine heart shines with the Light, thou shalt know no hardship;
When thine actions are in Light's name, thou art immortal.GÇÖ"
- The Scriptures, Book of Trials 2:1

So let me get this straight. You surrendered being a Matari merc and instead decided to join up with the Empire that enslaved your people for hundreds of years all because you found religion?

Well I guess some people like to be whipped to death by their slave drivers...

So they brain washed you too I see...

I do understand the need to find a cause to fight, however religion is one of those false ideals that will always instill hate and war amongst people. I could say I believe in a God that is totally different from yours and you will try and convert me which will cause me to hate you and take out my submachine gun and show you your insides.

Fighting for religion will not bring peace, but will create more hatred.

My God and your God are different, if I blaspheme towards your God it should not hinder the standing with my God which should be the God of all mercs. That God being the all powerful and mighty Gun, and I pay tribute to my God by spilling blood and earning ISK.

I've been seeing a lot of anti-amarr statements here mainly from gallente mercs and i must say. If you are going to talk trash against the empire you must understand the conflict between the matari and the amarr is different compared to the blood bath of wars your kind fights against the caldari. It is different because we are not attacking because of hate. We are attacking truly because we are trying to teach the matari and make them more civilized race. If they desire to come to the side of the amarr then let it be. We will accept them not just kill them mercilessly because they are a different race.

How did I turn my back on your God if I never believed in him? I have known of him, yes, but I have never believed nor followed the dogma instilled by your people. Ergo, I never turned my back on him. However if you believe that you must attempt to punish me, my machine gun and I would love to see you try.

As for my God of ISK and War being meaningless, in our world of immortality what else do we have left to gain but ISK. We have no need for an afterlife as we never die, so we must live in what we need now.

Glory to you, brother, for you speak truth. It is in his best interest to repent and join the light.

May God and Jamyl Sarum bless and light your path.

Mr. Buelle:

With all respect to Tempar Crusader Ouryon, he does tend to draw the word "heretic" maybe a bit quickly. My impression is that he's spent pretty much all his life surrounded by other believers, so his first impulse upon encountering a blasphemous sort is to think, "heretic." After all, in a highly religious society such as the Empire, we heathens are relatively thin on the ground.

As for your god of ISK and war, I think-- I hope-- that what you're actually saying is that you see no real divinity in this world. There's a lot of despair, come to think of it, reflected even in the suggestion, half-joking or not, that we should worship these things that superficially define us.

What an empty existence that would be....

I do not worship war nor money nor death. It was all in jest. However I understand that to survive we must earn ISK and to earn it we must fight, and die. So by me saying that my god is War and ISK is me trying to reason with him that I do not believe in any god that doesn't provide. War provides me ISK and ISK provides me with my housing, my weapons, my dropsuits, food and many other things that would be otherwise out of my reach. This is the reality that I have to face and I have no need to put my hopes in a God that does not show his/herself to me nor provides for me.

I jest at everything. It keeps me from going off the deep end and murdering mortals.

I welcome the challenge

Templar Crusader, respectfully, I, too, have been known to make some pointed remarks about the Amarrian deity, or any thinking being that would create this universe.

This world we live in erodes innocence, sneers at high ideals, and is utterly indifferent to justice. While I see this universe as a thing of wonder and beauty, it is also so much a thing of pain for the sentient and, worse, sapient beings that dwell in it that any sapient god responsible for its creation would be a thing of horror.

The name of the Angel Cartel is, to my mind, less ironic than grimly appropriate: mercenary cutthroats, hijackers and drug smugglers would make apt messengers for the god of this world.

For all this, and despite all the dark or blasphemous things I may have to say about your god, or any god seeking the title of "creator," I cannot fairly be described as a heretic in your faith because my system of belief is entirely different from yours. I do not represent a corruption of your faith because I share somewhere between very few and absolutely none of its precepts.

That's what a heathen is, an outsider and unbeliever. We do not become heretics merely by making unflattering remarks about your faith, or there would be few who do not already believe who were capable of being saved. To think otherwise is to make no distinction between a Sani cultist and a Gallentean atheist; both will mock your faith, but only the Sani represents a corruption of it. The Gallentean's beliefs originate elsewhere entirely.

Who says I do? So what I like to mess around with some Matari dancers every now and then or get into fights at the pub. But it is all in good fun. Sure sometimes the fights do get a bit out of hand, but afterwards we drink together like real men. It is how I make myself feel alive. And no religion or God or dogma has ever given me that same satisfaction.

You take yourself way to seriously Templar, how bout you come down to the strip club with me.

So you've adopted the faith of your slave-master. Eat up dog, these boot heels won't lick themselves.

I'm afraid that's not quite correct.

The reason the Republic attacked was not because of the Brutor student (who was released without charge) but because of a racially motivated mass murderer called Gerne Broteau. He shot and killed a number of people at a Minmatar culture festival on Luminaire.

The Federation tried him. As a Gallente citizen committing crimes primarily against Gallente citizens in Gallente sovereign space, they believed they had every right to - and quite possibly they did. However, the Republic demanded custody of the man, and when he was not handed over they attacked with their dreadnoughts.

And as for the higher-ups being corrupt - As I said, the Federation is based on an ideal. That ideal is not a reality - we can only strive to be closer to that ideal. Nobody is truly perfect. As much as the Amarrians claim to be so, they aren't either. I would bet all of my ISK that there is significant corruption in the Empire. There is also corruption in the Caldari State, as evidenced by Tibus Heth.

Their is wisdom to be seen in that statement.
