The inclusiveness of Gallente Universalism is very widely accepted among my people, The Intaki, and while some adhere to a more traditional sense of the pantheistic belief I tend to question the beliefs of others. This does not necessarily mean that I question them or are intolerant but simply that I take everything at face value. However, during my most recent visit to Gallente Prime, I overheard a man preaching that our lives governed the universe. In essence, that our souls (tricky things they are) made up of the stars. This intrigued me, to the point where I branched off of his ideals and created my own approach.
I'd like to share that with you all and perhaps receive your thoughts on the matter, though be forewarned that the more dogmatic Amarrians may find this take rather insulting. It is in no way geared toward offending anyone, merely freeing the mind.
A Take On Gallente Universalism:
"14 billion of years ago, the original creation was split amongst themselves. There was work to be done. A thousand interstellar homes were selected with precision. Divided by simple taste and preference, they scattered about the universe on ships fashioned by their finest crafters. Their creativity was unparalleled and brought about a new way for all to expand their influence. However, there was a pressing concern.
As these ships were created there was a notable lack of guidance - for as quickly as they were born from imagination, there were no way for them to make berth. In due haste the progenitors constructed a dark plane - a 'universe' - dotted with islands of matter and mass. There were complications, even still, as these islands were too dark and had no means of energy. Thus, bodies of matter were constructed to provide both and they would later be known as 'stars'. With these things, the progenitors bore both origin and destination and all manner of celestial bodies spread throughout it, galaxy by galaxy.
Alas, not all of them were fond of this new physical realm that they had created from their dream. A legion of their finest adjudicators set forth to right this new world - this existence, as it were. They simply could not let go of their brothern who had defected, less they become segregated, their unification wrought and the progentiors' creation go unchecked.
Their weapons were crafted by the mind as well, but with a sinister purpose. To destroy everything that the progenitors had created, down to the very fabric of it's existence, using what one creation of their rebellion would later deem "Black Holes". Horrific was the war when it started, as the universe was but small and new. The adjudicators' weaponry was condensed and made even more powerful by this, and soon it became apparent that the only option was not to fight back... but to grow faster than they could manage.
Thus the universe expanded, ever faster and ever outward - faster than the adjudicators could perceive and more swiftly than they could correct the injustice. But with this expansion, the progenitors paid a terrible price: that they would forever be trapped to their own device. As the world grew, so too did the gap between them and communication was far more difficult than it ever had been, growing harder as time went on. With each galaxy an adjudicator was assigned to manage it's creation, coralling these celestial bodies into groups that they may easier be destroyed. That the progenitors may never create more than that could be destroyed.
These became the laws of the universe, the handwriting of an ancient race which could not be perceived as their power and integrity is unfathomable. Though, the progenitors found that through their creation they could design "life". A group of their creation formed of matter that was self replicating and governed by a systematic process of assigned roles, utilizing the resources provided by the rest of the progenitors' tinkers and managing itself.
While not the first, the most prominent of these creations came to be known as "man", and he was born not of care and concern... but of simple loneliness. Created by a being who - cut off from his kind and faced with inevitable destruction - resigned to his fate. Allowing this life to prosper as long as it could, that the knowledge of the progenitors' creation might be understood and reconstructed in a vague hope that one day they would be free of the adjudicators' grasp."

I don't really know what am I supposed to comment about this. It's an interesting school of faith, and that's pretty much it, you're probably not going to convert anyone by just telling a story.

Wasn't intending to convert anyone but to illustrate an interesting take on religious philosophy. I don't believe it myself but the concept is quite remarkable, if I do say so myself.

Your own faith's dogma closes the doors of heaven to heretics forever, regardless of whether they may one day come to share your beliefs, so it's maybe not a kind concept to over-apply?

Unless, maybe, you plan to weave it into a work of fiction of some sort as the dominant faith of some future, or past, date?

I agree Aeon, the Caldari are to pragmatic in their fiscal policy. Though to be fair, it does keep there from being to many inclinations, especially in the manufacturing field.
Overall this external pressure helps oust low tier Gallante businesses that help to capitalize at more than a safe guarded local level. This actions although superficially negative, in actuality helps better place resources to more constructive ends in the luxury pool.
So I would argue the effect is beneficial to the Federation, at least at the bare bones level. You digging what I'm dishin' down, aye broski?

The closest you can get to God physcially is the Sun & Stars.
The Only thing that can create something from nothing besides God is imagination.
As for Black Holes they are errors within the system of creation & time or perhaps a ancor of sorts or both. A universe without these natural errors would be far different, 1 can argue that they also help life at the center of every galaxy is a Black Hole I believe.... |

Infidelity!
No, but here is my personal theory,
God is the architect of the Universe. God made the laws of science, laws that everything must follow. I do not believe God is a miester, directing all of existence. Rather, God changes courses in time when God feels the need. Otherwise, we are here to do as we please, free will. Though, we will be judged in our eternal life, the after life. When the soul is no longer held to the visible dimension we reside in.

I lost all faith that there was ever a God when I died at Caldari Prime and further lived to see the war continue.

I misunderstand you. Why do you feel faith was destroyed by such an experience?
