mind Imperial culture at large not abandoning this idea, as long as they maintained genuinely equitable diplomatic relations with the other sovereignties.
The problem is, I firmly believe that this mindset precludes them from doing so.

Yes, reaching the top would be wonderful. If that were to happen though, God would place another mountain before me and tell me to climb. Hardships and struggle are what test the soul. The only true victory, the only success that matters, is found in death and God's judgement.
My problem isn't really that Amarrians are trying to climb the mountain so much as that some of them feel it is their right, and perhaps their duty, to step on my face on the way up.
The problem with you Gallenteans is that you are about the same as the Amarr but still fail to see the obvious. On one side the Amarr say our way is right, on the other the Gallenteans say that the Amarrians are false and that "their" way is the better one... its like looking at 2 diferent sides of the same coin.
That the Amarrians often step on other people's face's to climb their mountain is an estabelished fact, that the Gallente do the exact same thing is also true, the diference is, the Amarr don't cover it up, they try to reason it, doesn't matter if its a more or less credible reason, they simply say, "We did it.. because", the Gallente on the other hand do it and either espect that no one noticed it while already preparing an excuse just in case they get caught.
That is the essencial truth in the matter, the Amarrians don't deny what they did, wrong or right, mostly they stand by their actions while the Gallente often try to cover up the facts or mislead others in hope that no one can backtrace the occurrence back to its origins.
So in the end, the Amarrians are the lesser Evil in the sense that they lie the least, in their own way they are more open and easier to evaluate given the circumstances, with the Gallente you always have to adopt the one hand open the other a close fist poised to strike stance because no Gallente ever tells you everything, even if the situation is a delicate one. ( ex. the assassination of the the Matari previous head chief and whole handling of affairs ) .
With that said..
Father Baracca a question, could you enlighten us perhaps on the Origin of the Scriptures?
