You get used to the Amarr Comedy Network after awhile. It's the most careful humour in the Cluster.

I just wanted to say that I find Samira's directness and honesty refreshing. I am totally behind the idea of a justified war and I hate having to pretend to be uncomfortable about the fact that we Carpe'd the Diem in getting that fleet to Home back in the day.

Andreus, I hear what you're saying, but I have to ask what you think this discussion will achieve? Samira is a believer, she has Faith in God and she isn't going to abandon that faith because you pick holes in a metaphor she used to describe the concept of Free Will in Humans as it applies to what she sees as God's Plan.
If this is just about being mean to someone because you don't like their religion, that's different, but let's not pretend you're really having a discussion here. Even if it's about trying to point out that someone's religion causes them to do very harmful and unpleasant things to people in what is nominally 'their own good' you still aren't going to shake Samira's belief in the Reclaiming, because it isn't rooted in something that can be disproven with facts.

Here's a question for one of the Faithful, though. Why do you believe the fleet commander's at Vak'Aktioth committed treason? Given that they found themselves in a tactical situation that presented them with the choice of withdrawing the fleet, leaving their objectives incomplete or losing the fleet, leaving their objectives incomplete, why do you believe the only sane strategic choice, that of at least preserving some lives and materiel, was treason?

Oh! Treasony treason! That kind. Fair enough.
