I do not think it is clearly written anywhere in the Scriptures that God demands obedience and devotion from its subjects, nor that He asks for them to be his subjects in the first place.
I do think that a lot of people take it in the wrong direction. It is actually humans, and here, the Amarr, that devoutly pledge their obedience to God to better themselves, since it is actually God, or the universe, the Creation, that is eventually our only unbiased, amoral, objective and timeless judge. In a certain sense, that God lets everyone being their own masters. Everyone can decide for himself since the choice is left to him. It is not the will of God to enslave or enlight. It is the will of the Amarr, which is a big difference.
I think your logic lacks the most important point of all....
The Justice of God.
Now this is directed to everyone so open your mind for a moment if you don't believe in God.
Saying for a moment that God does exist and is the embodiment of Justice, Truth, Goodness ect ect where does that leave us in relation to Him? Could any deity with any sense of fair play allow us mere mortals to not have a fair chance at acquiring the truth? Would it not stand to any fair reasoning that God would be compelled by His mere nature to give the Truth to the children of the universe?
And Ultimately then in such a case how would one know this truth? The answer is simple, by the test of time.
There will be corrupt people and as much as I loath to say it corrupt Amarrians of all casts but God's one holy Truth will shine everlasting. Despite the failings of men to distort it, warp, misplace or destroy it.
So yes God may have given you freedom to do as you please but as logical people with any sense of reason would understand the Truth is ultimately more important then your freedoms.
The Amarr would just hope you see that. |
