Very true, Adamance. Like I said, I've nothing against religion and spirituality. I just dont have them. The wonder of our own people and universe is enough for me. Doesnt mean I dont respect the individual beliefs of the diverse Gallente population. Also true if you were saying that in the usual condescending tone you have I am well aware of the diverse beliefs of the people of New Eden (( I used to be Minmitar +2 years ago but after dwelving deeper into the Lore i found favor, and a little bit of familiarity in the Gallente to myself and my environment, i ditched a nice amount of SP to switch races a long time ago, not that it mattered after all of the respecs though)) And to The Caldari, what? You have a problem with pursuing women? I prefer the small things in life to keep me happy, a nice female to cuddle with a plasma cannon to keep us warm. some people are just like that. *1st Official Role Playing Gallente Asshole* -Title Awarded by True Adamance

DeadlyAztec11 Ostrakon Agency Gallente Federation 4824	Posted - 2014.03.27 23:26:00 - [36] - Quote I am of a Khanid sect of the Amarr Faith that is opposed to slavery. This is because a religious man of the Faith helped me when nobody else could. I also follow Ida, which comes from being Intaki, since it's a way of life, not a religion. Of note, I follow some Minmatar battle practices from my Father's side. I practice all this freely in the Gallente Federation. Taco Cat backwards is still Taco Cat a¦á_a¦á

Bizar Wolf Carbon 7 25	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:06:00 - [39] - Quote The Minmatar have many beliefs among the different tribes. The main shared custom is that of tattooing. A Minmatar's tattoos can tell you the entire story of his or her adult life, including their accomplishments, honors, failures, rank, and status. The Minmatar have a coming of age ceremony known as the Voluval, which is how we receive our first, and most important, tattoo that marks our shift into adulthood. Every tattoo has meaning, and is an important aspect of our lives and culture. Among the Brutor tribe, we are trained from a young age to be strong and intelligent. The Minmatar military is comprised mostly of Brutor because of our warrior lifestyle. It is not required that a Brutor joins the military, but that tends to be what most do. The Minmatar as a whole, however, are incredibly difficult to generalize as a culture, because of the multitude of tribes in the Republic, like the Thukkers, who I know have been previously mentioned.

Ivar Iosef G I A N T General Tso's Alliance 84	Posted - 2014.04.04 06:19:00 - [40] - Quote I am of the Sani Sabik. My people were long ago driven from the bosom of the Amarr Empire for our so called "heretical" belief in the Red God. We keep many of the old ways, although we have a slightly different interpretation of Scripture. Family, loyalty and strength are our values, and we are one of the most medically advanced factions in New Eden. My people can be found secretly in many places, but openly in few. There are sects in Khanid space (from which I hail), sects hidden in the Empire proper, splinter groups that live in the Gallente Federation. But our main home is in the deepest black of Null-Sec. They call our warriors Blood Raiders. Idiocy makes my trigger finger itch. [GI4NT] <3XXXD>

You and I are not so different. We fight for our faith, yes, but so do you. Do you deny that some are born for greatness, while others exist to serve? Your Holders butcher the women and children of slaves every day, Paladin. We do not hate you and your kin for driving us from our homes, we merely see you as misguided, denying the greatness of the Red God's power. He is the same God that you pray to by another name. No faction is completely comprised of those that hunt and fight, or else it would have collapsed centuries ago. We do not hate you Paladin, but we will defend our secrets, our homes and our land. And we will always hunt. ((OOC Yes, I know exactly who they are, and the fact you think they are completely evil shows how little YOU know. )) Idiocy makes my trigger finger itch. [GI4NT] <3XXXD>
Jacques Cayton II Eternal Beings Proficiency V. 746	Posted - 2014.04.04 18:51:00 - [44] - Quote Personally as a Caldari I think Blood Raiders are batshit crazy, but that's just my point of view as a Statesman. We fight for the future of the State not our personal goals
Skilfer Nova Corps Marines Ishuk-Raata Enforcement Directive 69	Posted - 2014.04.04 19:19:00 - [45] - Quote Ivar Iosef wrote: Your Holders butcher the women and children of slaves every day. Such treatment of slaves is strictly prohibited within the Empire. The only time slaves are harmed is when they are punished for breaking the laws applicable to them, or they should try and rebel. In fact, the Empire does its best to keep families together throughout the process and provides them opportunities to receive education (should they desire it) and health care superior to any received by the lowest tier of the other empires.

If your people were known simply by your warriors, I am sure that the other races would believe you to be just as insane.

Roy Ventus Axis of Chaos 1634	Posted - 2014.04.09 22:14:00 - [48] - Quote I believe in something or someone. Not too sure what or who though. I don't think too deeply about it actually because at the end of the day my core values and beliefs are truly my own. I respect other religions and spiritualities though. Growing up on Luminaire, how could you not? I grew up around what you could call your average Gallente citizens. Rather outspoken and surprisingly firm about their beliefs. Most of the older adults were pretty well behaved, although well behaved might mean something else to you if you're not a Gallente, but the younger crowd always been pretty wild and expressive, even for Gallenteans. Drug use and sex aren't taken as seriously where I'm from either. I can't argue with their logic surrounding. People should be free to do what they want as long as it's not harmful to another individual although I, and others, do carry a rather strict morale line. All in all, I'm an eccentric amongst eccentrics. No, I'm not a hipster, just a guy who doesn't religiously follow the Gallente way. I've kinda assimilated other beliefs into my own to form something pretty new. What I know I keep from my culture is the Gallentean aggressiveness and arrogance. I'm not like one of those fools jacking off to their own speeches about social justice and liberty, when they're actually doing more harm than good, or like those assholes who think they're always right, but just aggressive when provoked or when I feel provoked, and arrogant enough to think that I'm better than you, even when I try not to(It's a mental complex, I'm sure of it).

Tallen Ellecon KILL-EM-QUICK RISE of LEGION 1698	Posted - 2014.04.16 16:29:00 - [52] - Quote My family is made up of mostly secular industrialists. We're heavy supporters of trans humanism and AI as a means to enhance life in both quality and span. Unfortunately we also have a history of heavy substance use and depression. Once myself and my brother gained immortality we moved away from our civilian lifestyles and find peace in conflict. Our thoughts were always linked to the fear and anxiety surrounding death. Once we conquered death that anxiety was lifted, and all that remains was the pursuit of freedom in all other forms and the wealth to sustain it. Tarn and myself have chosen to spend out time fighting mostly for comradeship as no amount of ISK has given us any more satisfaction. We have all the freedom we need in the vast space and time before us. Supporter of tiericide, EVE interaction, and a proper NPE SoonGäó514 "No blue tags make Tallen go crazy.

You speak of the Blood Pits as if we did not take the idea from your empire's own tortures. How do you know what pleases us? The de-sanguination of children has fallen out of favor with all but the most backwards of our sects. The purity of their blood has been passed in favor of that of clones. The rise of the capsuleer, and now the immortal mercenaries has delivered us a bounty of massive proportions, and the Red God willing, it will continue unabated so that we may continue our lives and our research. As to the drinking of fresh blood, that is absurd. Blood is much to precious to be simply drunk like a magic elixir. The Bleeders store, process and purify the Blood of those who have given. Do not let the words of others fill your mind with hatred and shadows, Mr. Ventus. It is obvious by the Paladin's words that there will never be peace between the Sani Sabik and the Amarr, though we come from common stock. And I must say, the raving of their priests do give our warriors a fearsome psychological advantage. Idiocy makes my trigger finger itch. [GI4NT] <3XXXD>

I believe that all evil actions come back sevenfold to it's original host. I believe what we do here in New Edan determines our fate in heaven or hell. I believe people should work hard for they're food, shelter, life, ECT. I believe the souls of the dead watch our lives, but have no control. I believe in one almighty God. I believe elders should be respected. I believe in loyalty to the ones you love. I believe that no man shall live forever in New Edan. Creative with guns

I too suffered a great deal of discrimination because of the emancipation of my great uncle who returned to our Tribe, I always did think he was odd though, and ma and da held him at arms length because he used to stand in the square and speak of God.....

Galm Fae Eskola Ergonomics 279	Posted - 2014.07.16 09:44:00 - [59] - Quote Where to even begin... Well, as a child my father was quick to introduce me to the Way of the Winds. I made a point to familiarize myself with some of the most popular legends, songs, and fables of the Raata Empire. This proved to be no easy task (I am pressed to remind all of you that the first Caldari civilizations predate that of any of the four major empires, leaving quite an extensive amount of material to be covered and memorized) but I still endeavored to prove my loyalty to my ancestral heritage. Yet despite my father's strict dedication to the Winds, our family would freely recognize certain Intaki traditions that my mother had learned when she was younger. This lead to a household culture that stood as an unorthodox amalgamation of preestablished Caldari descent and sparsely placed Ida customs. I struggled for many years to find meaning in the literal message of both beliefs, attempting to justify notions of Wind spirits and reincarnation. This was an internal battle I fought right up to the time of my parents' deaths, which drove me into a bit of a downward spiral until I collectively decide for a time that both systems were nothing more than wishful thinking. I fancied myself an anthesist for some time while I continued to observe traditional Caldari ceremonies out of simple respect. Once I had finally gotten past the brooding and matured slightly, all those ceremonies slowly began to make more and more sense in hindsight. You see, in this world there are certain forces of nature that doubtlessly shape our world. Through the transfer of energy in this universe, powerful storms can lay waste to dense forests and ancient shores. All of this energy is never destroyed, it can only change state. A storm may dissipate, but the water it has left will flow into a mighty river, that river shall carve out a canyon, that canyon will provide men shelter, and those men shall live on to see yet another storm. When a creature dies, it's body will go back to the soil and provide life for another, which will provide life for another. Who is to say that this process isn't capable of recycling the soul just as one recycles carbon? Who is to say that the concept of the 'soul' is merely an illusion we use to gauge the amount of life this reality has granted to one organism? Now before I get too misty eyed... Let me attempt to sum up my point. At the most basic level, there is no fundamental difference between gods and physics. Therefore, the personification of these forces as characters in legend and religion is not only acceptable but an essential ability for any society that hopes in increase its understand of the world around them. This means the Intaki system of the Ida is just as valid as the Caldari personification of nature spirits and the Achurian spirituality that manifests fear and negative emotions as demons and foul spirits. As long as an individual can understand this concept, then whatever religion they develop is just a different interpretation of the universal truth: that we are all a small part in a much larger machine. As you can imagine, this makes me rather tolerant of most outsiders as long as they show an equal amount of respect for other's customs as their own. As far as I am concerned, even the Sabik have *some* merit to them as long as you don't take the message too literally. *Kirjuun! Uakan! Teknikiara! Kanpai kameitsamuu! Ra ra ra!*
