Hello!
So, it's over 3 years since I've been a pilot. Woo!
Anyway, I am seeing a lot of things about stuff, where people go "This is unacceptable" and so on. A lot of times this is about the Amarr religion. A lot of times it isn't but hey, I don't know much about those.
Stand back! I'm going to use metaphors.
The Amarr religion is a mighty river. And like most rivers, the unprepared can be swept away and drowned.
A person wades out into the river and says "Halt, the course of this river is inconvenient!". They are swept away, possibly their waders fill with water and upend them, which is A Bad Thing.
This is not the way to change the course of the River.
Rivers also have meanders that form from time to time, and related features such as an ox-bow lake, where an old meander is by-passed. the lake eventually fills in and is forgotten. This is how theology changes over the centuries.
What to do to change the rivers course, is use boulders. Roll a boulder into the river, it flows around it. This then erodes the banks in a different way.
Meanders can then be formed in other places, and so, an inconvenient interpretation can be bypassed and eventually forgotten.
And so, by rolling boulders into the right places, the course of the river is changed.
So, by using a solid boulder instead of being a wading person, then the Amarr religion can be changed.
And that's where I come in. By being a boulder of solidity within the Empire, I change it. With more persons acting in co-ordination, greater things are achieved.

Amen, Bring then, the avalanche of Amarr boulders that will turn the course of the river from injustice to abolition.

I would prefer, rather than to be a boulder, to be the one who adds water to the river, till it becomes a mighty ocean, whose powerful tides none could oppose, and that washes away the rocks from the coast until they are uniform and beautiful.

Think your metaphor needs work, love. Even the oceans are bound by land and stone, even the seas have islands standing in their midst.
Oceans also flow in many directions, never uniform. ~~~~~~~~~~~

You can also change the course of a river by using high-explosives *loads the CM-Launchers of her Raven with some nice Devestators*
