Point out the Scripture that gave amarr the right to "induce hardship" on non believers. I've read it, but I don't think I've understood our holy book. |

I've read it, but I don't think I've understood our holy book. Its this one here "Only through many hardships Is a man stripped to his very foundations And in such a state Devoid of distractions Is his soul free to soar And in this He is closest to God" - The Scriptures, Book of Missions 42:5
What I don't understand is how any other empire's creation would have any less hardships, if not more with how rich in natural material it still is today. Also, could you explain how this justifies performing what should solely be god's duty? |

But how can you follow it if even you, who I assume to be devoted your whole life, don't understand it? I understand that faith is following what you have no proof of, but in my eyes that would be for not actually seeing god. |

I understand that faith is following what you have no proof of, but in my eyes that would be for not actually seeing god. There you go again, questioning what you cannot understand and coming to your own false conclusions. This is why you will not be saved. You must come to grips that God is all powerful. We may not understand His ways, but we do not need to. We know Him. Tell me, do you even understand how your implant works to all the finest details? Yet you accept it nonetheless and have faith that each time you die your conscious will be transferred to a fresh clone.
I trust it because it has been active in my existence, unlike your god which has done nothing for me. Without this implant I would've died long ago, since I assume you've read my story, tell me how it would be any different? |

Now that I've given it some thought, I believe it is our god who lead me here. Now that I know my curiosity will have to be solved over my immortal "lifespan" or left gnawing at the back of my mind for what could possibly be all of the rest of time, my choice is clear. |

I wouldn't return to the peopleI wronged if I wasn't sincere. |

I have come to terms with that unnerving fact |
