Funny, isn't it?
For all their words on the nobility of concepts like "freedom" and "personal liberty," most Gallente seem to forget that "freedom of religion" is a central part of this political viewpoint.
So every time I hear a Gallente taking a verbal poke at another person's spiritual dogma, it just proves futher their own inner corruption.

It should be mentioned though that the interpretation of the Scriptures is not based on the opinions of any individual, but are dictated by a body of scholars who can draw on centuries of experiance in the interpretation of the Scriptures.
Changes to how we interpret the Scriptures are generally brought forth by the Theology Council and not by the opinions of individuals or other groups.
Traditionally, disobediance to the editcs of the Council is tantamount to heresy.
While there is current debate on this aspect of the scriptures, the Theology Council has yet to reverse it's position.
Change in the Empire is often glacial. And while we have many detractors, the Amarr method of government has lead to the development of the largest, most sucessful government in history.
This leads many Amarr to (perhaps rightfully) believe that, "if it aint broke, don't try n fix it."

After reading at length the communique and replies I have a simple question for you. Where are the liberal thinkers, critical thinks and free minded members of the Amarr society. Where are the abolitionist that must surely exist in such a large and old empire as the Amarrian.
A wise Amarrian liberal is one who does not voice his or her opinions too openly in public. An Amarr who wishes to become a political or religious firebrand, usually has his wishes granted...at the stake.
It is not our way to openly quibble amongst ourselves where outsiders can see or hear. There are exceptions. And forums such as this tend to enable a certain lack of ideological solidarity.
But even if we sometimes let decorum slip, we all know which way the laser fires.
