Archbishop Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.04.01 00:55:00 - [1] Edited by: Archbishop on 01/04/2007 00:53:36 "The Truth Will Set You Free" series of sermons presents sermon #003 on UNITY. Main Entry: Unity Pronunciation: 'yn-n&-tE Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural -ties Etymology: From unus one -- more at ONE 1 a : the quality or state of not being multiple : ONENESS b (1) : a definite amount taken as one or for which 1 is made to stand in calculation <in a table of natural sines the radius of the circle is regarded as unity> (2) : IDENTITY ELEMENT 2 a : a condition of harmony : ACCORD b : continuity without deviation or change (as in purpose or action) 3 a : the quality or state of being made one : UNIFICATION b : a combination or ordering of parts in a literary or artistic production that constitutes a whole or promotes an undivided total effect; also : the resulting singleness of effect or symmetry and consistency of style and character 4 : a totality of related parts : an entity that is a complex or systematic whole SERMON #003 Honored Brothers and Sisters of Amarr I come today to speak of a topic near and dear to the hearts of all Amarrian citizens. That topic is UNITY. The definition of unity above shows it is not individual parts but a combination of parts working toward the whole. A oneness and joining of factions to create on common voice. If one word could define our empire that word could be UNITY as it describes what we are as a whole. Certainly Amarr has its houses, its different traditions, even the different races like Amarr, Ni-Kunni and other races, but together we form the whole of Amarr and bring forth a dedication to the one true Empire of God. Unity is demonstrated daily in the operations of Amarrian paramilitary forces. Recently in Providence a terrorist outpost was conquered by forces led by CVA with assistance being provided by several other Amarrian groups. This action led to the removal of a terrorist infestation just two jumps from the "Unity Station" of the UshraKhan and resulted in the loss of billions of isk in warships and towers to our glourious forces. Unity? Of course. While each Amarrian paramilitary group has its focus, its objective, its operating area, its regulations and traditions, one thing they share is the unity of purpose. That purpose being the protection of the Amarrian way of life and the continued dominance of our holy Empire. To the loyalists who may pledge fidelity to one house or another above all else the Empire is the Empire and is ultimately what we support. That Unity has led to the great victory recently in Providence and to this day is present in other actions against relevent enemies of Amarr like the Ushra Khan and Mortis pirates. What is the price of failure of Unity? Well that much is obvious. Look at the heathen Minmatar and their collapse as their factions fight it out among themselves for domination in their tribal republic system. Some calling for the death of their leader and some calling for her support. There is no unity among the terrorists except perhaps the unified desire to kill innocent Amarrians. They have no allies who will come to help them and stay with them. Why? Because they lack the unity of righteousness. Unity of Righteousness. What is this? It's the knowledge that what you work together toward is true and faithful to God and the Empire. Every loyal Amarrian knows his purpose, is not tempted by the sins of the lessor races, is dedicated to Amarr above all else. This isn't automatic rather it is a choice the individual Amarrian must make and so many do on a daily basis. You don't see that kind of unity in the other races.
Archbishop Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.04.01 00:56:00 - [2] I've spoken previously in a sermon about COMMITMENT and DEDICATION and that brings us to todays sermon on unity. Having that common commitment, that unwaivering dedication to what is right, brings forth a working model of unity that can not be destroyed. Ships in battle may be lost but the unity of purpose will remain if the cause is noble and just. That my Brothers and Sisters is why I warn you all today. The terrorists are fractured, downtrodden, defeated in battle, suffering billions of isk in damages. But they are not defeated. It is no coincidence the name of their last surviving outpost is UNITY. This is a warning we should pay heed to. The terrorists even if destroyed and driven into caves are still a threat to the Amarrian way of life. Until they are brought to repent and pay for their crimes they are a danger to the Empire. These true enemies of Amarr must not be forgotten. That my Brothers and Sisters is the purpose of todays sermon. It is a warning. Do not be complacent and assume the victory is won. Do not assume the Minmatar enemies are defeated and in hiding. Do not celebrate great victories on the battlefield for we have all seen how complacency can turn against one. Most of all maintain UNITY of purpose. Continue with the dedication and commitment to the Amarrian Empire and our way of life. Do not trample on the tennants of God rather follow His rulings and the scriptures and live your life to honor the Empire not yourself. After all UNITY is the WHOLE NOT THE ONE.

Thomas Maleficus Caldari all professions	Posted - 2007.04.01 01:05:00 - [3] Edited by: Thomas Maleficus on 01/04/2007 01:03:09 I agree with you on the principles of unity. But you fell flat on delivery. It's one thing to serve up a dry sermon, but to use the sermon for propaganda, to pat the slavers on the back? You're not going to catch flies with vinegar if you know what I mean. Can you share your faith and message without the bragging? I'm being serious here, in case you were unsure. I don't see myself joining the Amarr at all, but your faith does fascinate me and leave me with many questions. Your sermons help, but not when the presentation is served as you did today. edit Obviously I still consider the Amarr to be my enemies, but I can still have respect for your intellectual and theological offerings.

The purpose of this sermon is to bring a warning to the faithful that we can not take Unity for granted and that the enemies of Amarr (UshraKhan) are not dead at all. It isn't intended as a religious recruitment tool of any kind rather a simple sermon to the faithful. Archbishop PIE WEBSITE & FORUMS PIE INFORMATION CENTER
Mori Felding Minmatar Void Spiders Fate Weavers	Posted - 2007.04.01 11:26:00 - [6] May these actions of your crusade stir the wrath of the free people and cause unity. ___ Memento Mori
Jasmine Constantine Gallente Jericho Fraction The Star Fraction	Posted - 2007.04.01 12:18:00 - [7] I'm not surprised to hear you preaching of Unity. After all, in your system of ideology its the neccessity of the weak to unify their expectations to the ambitions of the strong. PIE is no more than a yapping dog at the heels of its larger master at this point. Perhaps if you serve the territorial ambitions of the CVA well enough in providence they will spare your blushes in Amarr? Its something to hope for at least. Star Fraction is recruiting
Archbishop Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.04.01 15:27:00 - [8] Quote: May these actions of your crusade stir the wrath of the free people and cause unity. It is not a crusade rather a simple statement of fact. The Unity of Righteousness exists only for those whose cause is pure and just. By serving God and Empire before ourselves and our own ambitions we cast aside the cloak of complacency and desire and work toward something much greater and more relevant. There is a reason the Amarr are the largest Empire after all. The Minmatar and their people are not even capable of unity in the true sense because they have no righteousness in their lives. A history of terror, murder, violence, all the traits they expose so easily when forced to act with emotion rather than common sense, those traits prove the inadequacy of their actions as measured against righteousness.

Ardan Minmatar Kinda'Shujaa Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2007.04.03 21:08:00 - [9] So Archbishop, do you devote yourself to God and the empire? Do you serve them or your self? If you serve God and the empire, then I am sure that all you do is for them. Since all you do is for God and The Empire, then all the money you make is then donated to God and The Empire. Or do your coffers run over with gold and are your hangars crowded with ships? Do you serve God and The Empire or do you serve yourself? "Let them hate us as long as they Fear us." Colligula

I mean come on one voice?...damn you need to get our more and have fun even maybe even get laid at one of the pleasure hubs. And those so called terrorists happen to be freedom fighters thank you very much. Verus Amare Vinceres Omnis

Durrel Gahanan Amarr Imperial Academy	Posted - 2007.04.03 23:05:00 - [12] You heathens! You hark out words of unproductive critism! He speaks only of encourageing the faithful. He has done nothing nor in any way led to spout these words out of propeganda or recruitmen from what I've witnessed. If anything he has reaffirmed my weary soul with encouraging words in these difficult times. I would lie if I said no doubts entered my mind of the current situation in the Empire. But these words have pulled me closer to the spiritual support I yern for. If your ill words towards Archbishop have shown me anything, it is that you people not of the Amarr faithful lack any sort of unity... It is obvious you are afraid and in your fear you hope to dilute the morale this sermon has summoned. This was in no way addressed to those of you whom are faithless. So where do you get the right to intercede... I apologize about my tangent. Very unprofessional of me. However, Im very passionate of this subject. Thank you Archbishop, you are in my prayers.

I speak not out of zealous pride but of hope and support for the unity of the Amarr. I would hope you could see the need for unity in all the nations of the universe, but then again perhaps that would be too much to askof your kind.

But let's face it most of Pie they are so boring with their preaching and sermons, would it kill them to have a little fun now and then to kick back. Maybe get a few lap dances from some of those cute Erotic Dancers. I mean have you seen the way they moveàDamn but they got it going on. But as for unity just look at my friends and me we got it going on and totaly wipe the floor with Pie over and over again Verus Amare Vinceres Omnis
Archbishop Amarr PIE Inc.	Posted - 2007.04.04 01:50:00 - [16] Quote: So Archbishop, do you devote yourself to God and the empire? Do you serve them or your self? If you serve God and the empire, then I am sure that all you do is for them. Since all you do is for God and The Empire, then all the money you make is then donated to God and The Empire. Or do your coffers run over with gold and are your hangars crowded with ships? Do you serve God and The Empire or do you serve yourself? I am a humble man of simple ways. While I have considerable assets and several small homes I prefer not to dwell on material goods and attainment rather I would focus on the gifts God provides the faithful and the despair life without God leaves one in. A large majority of my assets are routinely given away or used to help subsidize various Amarrian charities. The SPCS for example received over 1b isk from me last year and will receive a similar gift this year for their new POS near Gallente space. Likewise I often provide subsidized ships to new Amarrian pilots in Amarr 1.0 systems along with free skillbooks and lessons on common defense. In this day of terror and despair one can not focus only on themselves. I would suggest that my dedication to God and Empire has caused God to reward me with business success which in turn allows me to do more for others to bring the word of God and our holy Empire to more wretched people.
