Oh, it might seem like you're trying different things - slavery, conquest evangelism, diplomacy, trade - but what you're ultimately trying to do is make your religion our religion and your culture our culture.
What we're ultimately trying to do is to climb the mountain God has put before us. You think that if I don't reach the top, I've failed. For me, the important thing isn't that I reach the top, it's that I never stop climbing.
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.

I am beginning to think that you don't quote much Scripture because that would interrupt your detailed pontifications on whatever subject has caught your fancy.

Surely you jest.

Nick Bete wrote:So, let's talk end game here for a minute.
Suppose that Baracca's fantasy becomes a reality. Somehow the Amarr end up conquering the rest of humanity. Somehow all holders and task masters suddenly become compassionate and humane. What happens next? From what I understand best case scenario is after some period of time (to be determined at some unknown point in the future by some undetermined person/persons solely at their discretion but not to exceed nine generations--at least that's the ruling from the present monarch) we would then be eligible to become the lowest level commoners working at menial low wage jobs for the benefit of the ruling oligarchy as is the case with the overwhelming majority of Amarr society today.
Any serious study of historical Amarr integration policies will show that different races have had remarkably different trajectories in Amarr society.
Baracca has explicitly stated that he wishes the conversion of the Caldari to mirror that of the Khanid. My family was never enslaved. While we were only granted peerage after the secession, the Hanayas were a wealthy family that proudly served as military officers for many generations.
He hasn't mentioned what fate he'd like for you though. Perhaps he does imagine the Bete line collared for eight generations followed by fifteen of toilet bowl scrubbing.

I had to look that up.
It's an interesting term.

You've reminded me of this a couple of time now. I should thank you for the public service.

Constantin Baracca wrote:You would be amazed what you can achieve just by not being a source of escalation or conflict.
"Hello, I'm a Bishop who's going to tell Caldari capuleers how I expect the State to convert to the Amarr Faith. I'm also going to tell them how I am preaching to the Caldari baseliner population, an attack on their cultural and religious values which I will claim I'm doing under the auspice of the Theology Council.
This is not at all something that might be a source of conflict."
At this point, I'm half convinced you're a Gallente plant.
