Some interpintations of
Ephesians 5 : 14 applies
and Ezikel 5 : 14. You seem to post a lot of stuff from IRC or whatever, so normally I'd dismiss the idea that 514 is in fact a Christian reference because it'd be really absurd if true, but... seriously? It's seriously a Biblical reference? Or are you just shooting from the hip?
How would it be "absurd"? If you don't believe the Bible to be true, then at least it would be an amazing fantasy. The only reason anyone has a problem with it, is because it's "religious". However, no one has issues with books like "His Dark Materials" or "Narnia" until they learn the religious/anti-religious undertones, and even then they don't really make a stink. |

I don't think it's explained in Templar One, considering that no where on the internet you can find any explanation of it. CCP has yet to tell anyone what it means. |

My issue with it is that the EVE galaxy is far-flung from our galaxy and tens of thousands of years into the future. It's about as far removed from anything that might currently exist in our 21st century Earth culture as you can imagine. It would be absurd to reference a religion that doesn't even exist in the fictional setting they've crafted. But now that we know it was his own guesswork we can stop talking about religion.
Hello? Amarr? lmao. As another poster pointed out, EVE has had several biblical references in the past.
Muscaat 514 wrote:The Biblical reference theory actually carries a lot of weight. CCP have often named their expansions with a Biblical theme - EVE Online's original subtitle was The Second Genesis, with expansions Exodus, Revelations I and II, Trinity, Apocrypha all carrying the theme. So while it's not been confirmed, to me it seems the most likely of all I've heard. cf this post at the EVE Online forums...
Also useful is this:
Quote:Amarrians
The Amarrians are the founders of the Amarr Empire, and have a strong sense of tradition and ancestry. Their origins stem from the Conformists, a religious group that split from the United Catholic Church prior to the opening of the EVE gate. Under the leadership of Dano Gheinok they settled the continent of Amarr on the planet of Athra and spread from there.
