Since we were talking about trolling, I have an overwhelming urge to say something about how your disbelief is a belief and so on, but I don't think I could contain my giggles for long enough to pull it off.

You're being intolerant of someone's viewpoint. Frothing and rabidly such. Stop it.
It's rude don't you know?

It's a sermon. They sometimes last over an hour. If anything, he's drastically curtailed it for this venue.
The majority of speech you hear on the IGS is automatically translated. While these programs are sophisticated, I find complex sentences or unusual turns of speech often sound a touch off.

Apologies. Too many superfluous words. All in all, were I the editor, I would have cranked it.

I respect your opinion as a leader of the TMC media organization.
However, consider that a sermon and a TMC article may have very different measures of success. A sermon that comparatively few read to the end, but of those that do, they are terrorized to the core with the Wrath and Judgement of God is to be considered a roaring success. Other times, the effect of a sermon is not immediate; rather, a seed is planted that will someday grow into true faith in God and service to his holy instrument in the world, the Amarr Empire.

Unfortunately, you have failed in that goal. The analogies you have used have provoked mostly a humorous effect. I almost thought this was satire at first. Comparing the Wrath of God to starship components is wrong for the audience. There are billions of baseliners that read the IGS, but only a few will have any idea what you are talking about. The capsuleers on this forum do, but will giggle at the clumsiness of the analogies. "God is EWAR immune?" That implies that one can even hope to resist the Wrath of God in the slightest way, by targeting, which is absurd. Analogies can be useful, but they break down quickly. By continuing the analogies, your sermon has become the subject of ridicule.
Here's a helpful example:
God's Wrath and Judgement are so great and inescapable, that one would have a better chance dancing naked on the surface of a star.

This is not the Atheism. This is blatant ignorance.

So it is with the Empyreans GÇö laughing at God, mocking at God, and damning what little remains of their immortal souls to Abaddon.

If your god actually got its panties all in a twist over a little mockery from unbelievers it'd hardly be the great entity you Amarrians paint it as.
Perhaps you should let your god speak for itself if it is indeed inclined to speak on the matter. |

I've a few more to put on the list, Diana:
- Today I got Caldari takeaway from the place at the Caille space port food court, and even though I specifically asked for the red gravy, I got that blue gunk all over it.
- The other week, a crewman cut in line at the queue for the men's room when we all had an after work beer at Dodixie.
- Walking down a street a few days ago, a kid on a hoverbike swung over puddle of muddy water and splashed my pants.
Hence the Federation must be destroyed. |

Who would receive the harsher sentence before an Amarrian magistrate, him who slaps a slave in the face, him who slaps a commoner in the face, or him who slaps a Holder in the face? Even a small crime may bring a severe judgement when the victim is of such nobility.
Woe to him who slaps God in the face, for God is of infinite nobility. |

Yeah, well, good thing your legal system has no power over me then. If your god got slapped in the face here the attacker would get the same punishment as if he had slapped a beggar. |

Nobility is something you earn, not something you're born with. What Amarrians are born with is a title. Whether they grow into the nobility that such a title should represent is another matter entirely.
I have yet to see the requisite nobility from those whom the Amarrians call noble - their God least of all.

Being able to slap God in the face would suggest fallibility. Surely an all powerful and ever present entity would be able to defend itself from being slapped. In fact, it should be physically impossible to even slap it. This notion also implies that God is weak enough to be struck by man.
It's interesting how some of the most strict followers of the faith manage to contradict it the most.
