SERMON #7 IN A SERIES ABOUT THE GALLENTE AND GODLESSNESS
It has been some time since I have preached about the Godless Gallente Federation. While the vast majority of readers supported my views and agreed with them the hopeless sinners went about their daily business as if nothing was happening. Crime, sxx, drugs, boosters, theft and political corruption remained in this Federation of Failure and doom it's citizens, innocent people who deserve a better life, to a life of subjegation to a system that supports such things.
But there is hope.
Brothers and Sisters all is not lost. There is hope for the Gallente Federation. Like the Minmatar the Gallente can too find their place in service to God. While the Gallente would of course recoil at the thought of becoming "slaves" the success of programs like the SPCS Initiate Academy and other related operations has proven there are those Gallente who see the error of their way of life and seek to find the greater good that is a life in service of God and His chosen the Amarr.
But we must do more.
Brothers and Sisters today a new campaign for God begins. A campaign of faith and salvation. We will seek out the Gallente at every corner, offer them the chance at salvation and the opportunity to spend their lives working toward the true salvation that only Enlightenment can bring. While this is a sacrifice on our part I know the Amarrians who will participate in this operation will do so without fail for to fail would be to fail God and all He stands for.
But how do we do this?
Several steps are being taken by various Amarrian religious organizations as I speak. The SPCS is taking steps to reestablish Port Sanctuary near the Gallente Border (the port was temporarily closed for repairs). Religious missionaries will go forth and preach the word of God to those lessors in the Federation and will show them the error of their ways. I myself will embark on biweekly sermon trips to public systems in the Gallente Federation where I will hand out various items of religious significance and offer to minister to those who wish to confess and repent.
SPCS Bestowers will begin making biweekly trips into the heart of the Federation to rescue travelers, tourists, gallente youth, homeless and disenfranchised workers from this society of sin and decadence. They will be brought to Amarrian facilities where all food and medical care will be provided. From there they will move to other Amarrians and under their supervision they will be shown the path to Enlightenment and salvation.
Brothers and Sisters this is not so much a sermon as an illumination. The light of God and His faithful will shine into the darkness and despair of the Gallente Federation and bring His salvation to those who would seek it. No longer can the sins of this Federation of Failure be allowed to fester and seep across it's borders to neighboring Empires where it infects those unsuspecting. Holoreels, drugs, sxx, pxrnography, all gifts of the Gallente brought to the unsuspecting and vulnerable. They exploit their reputation of "freedom" and intead infect with all manner of sin and deviance.
But God will have His way.
The light of God will shine brightly, those who sin will be held to account in His eternal court, only those who repent and attempt to find salvation in service to God and Amarr will find the path to Enlightenment. This path, open to all who seek it, is not easy yet the rewards are immense.
So the light of God will shine where it is dark and cold. Where there are hungry, homeless, disenfranchised, vulnerable drug addicted sxx deviants. The light of God will bring forth the justice they deserve and will work with the desperate to cast aside the corruption that is the Federation and it's so called "leadership". The faithful will one day rule the Federation and all will be in service to God.
Amen!

Might I suggest before you launch your vain campaign to help the "hopeless sinners" you turn attention to your own people. Namely the sins of crime, theft, and political corruption you mentioned that are so rampant in your "glorious empire".

Thank you Archbishop for this most excellent Sermon. I am in total agreement with everything you presented here as is always with all your works.
I remember attending some of your lectures whilst in the Imperial Academy training for my wings as a pod pilot, and it was a great honor to hear from one of the most faithful and dedicated servants to God, and to the Empire, I've ever seen. Many of my peers and myself were in awe of your knowledge and experience.
I fear you will get many unbelievers and other deviants criticizing this most glorious and noble deed you are doing, but that is to be expected from people who have not yet found God, although as a fellow Amarrian, I understand it is our duty even in the face of rejection and criticism to bring the light of God to everyone, so they too can know that salvation is found through faith and devotion in God.
Amen and God bless you.

Sir Archbishop,
TAKAGI Corp wishes to bring some enlightement of its own on your own enlightement crusade.
Firstly, religion is not a state matter in the Federation. Your statement seems to portray a Federation without any room for spirituality. You will find that you are mistaken. Thousands of thousands of religions coexist peacefully in the Federation, as the freedom of cult is being guaranteed by the Senate. And as such, your beliefs are as well protected.
This statement is to warn you that you may find some difficulties on your road. No Sir Archbishop, the gallente (and other races in the Federation) youth is not in despair, lurking for a goal that your god only would be able to provide. Youth in the Federation is full of promises, young gallenteans are thrilling every day to know more and discover more about the universe and we doubt they'll make good preys for your "salvation" crusade.
And now a last warning. You may try to convert anyone disoriented enough to follow your spiritual guidance. The Federation tolerance will end though at the second you'll try to tie your beliefs with any change of sovereignity regarding Federal systems. On this matter, your conclusion has drawn Federal authorities attention on you, your supporters, and your operation. I hope -and you can pray- that I am mistaken.

But go on, continue to rant and rave about the Gallente. Most of them think you're on the same drugs you're so fond of condemning.

Edited by: DutchGunner on 08/10/2007 14:49:27 I reject slavery and all it stands for however this situation seems different. This strikes me as a charity act towards those who CHOOSE this path. Allthough it COULD result in a bad way of life to most, it will be a lot better then their current life situation.
All I can and will say about it is that it is a good initiative for the people at the bottom of the societies. The poor, forgotten and unfortunate. As long as people choose that life withouth being brainwashed or force I applaud it. However the people should also have the liberty to leave.
A rare view from a Minmatar I know, but sometimes the best way to improve ones life within a lifetime is to choose the lesser of two evils. We as capsuleers however can spend more then a lifetime in achieving that.

Edited by: Drethon on 08/10/2007 18:20:02 You speak as if you think no one in the Federation believes in God. You could not be more wrong, we choose what we believe in, it is not forced on us. I myself believe in God but I do not believe your people understand God.
Why is it that none of us have a direct knowledge of God? It it because He does not force us to follow Him but instead wants us to choose to follow Him.
The Federation is the closest I can see to what God wants for us. He does not stop us from making mistakes as the Empire tries to but instead allows us to learn from our mistakes.
What I have said are only my beliefs and I will not claim to know God's will, only that I believe to understand a small part of it. If our people choose to follow your beliefs out of their own free will, then that is their prerogative and I laud your work to spread your beliefs without sacrificing the choices of others, but do not take away their God given right to choose their own path, even if it is the wrong one.

Drethon, they are talking about a different 'god'. Their 'god' demands that they treat all people not of their bloodline as inferiors, to be enslaved or killed as convenience dictates. Those enslaved are forced on pain of a gruesome, horrifying death by VITOC to labor for their master, with no hope beyond that perhaps some future generation of the offspring their are coerced to produce might someday be treated as mere 'serfs' in their evil society. An all of this is dictated by their religeous texts, dictated -- or so they say -- by their worm-ridden 'god'.
Don't confuse any religeon you or your people might follow with theirs.

Yes I'm sure all of the false prophets, heathen lovers and other assorted miscreants are more than happy to come up with a religion of the week for the weak of faith in the federation.
Quote: "All I can and will say about it is that it is a good initiative for the people at the bottom of the societies. The poor, forgotten and unfortunate. As long as people choose that life withouth being brainwashed or force I applaud it. However the people should also have the liberty to leave."
Believe me after they have entered service leaving will be the last thing on their minds. They will be molded into faithful citizens of the Empire and will worship God not the drugs and perversion of this sick federation.
Quote: "You speak as if you think no one in the Federation believes in God. You could not be more wrong, we choose what we believe in, it is not forced on us. I myself believe in God but I do not believe your people understand God."
Yes we've seen with the Minmatar what happens when you make up your own God to believe in instead of believing in the true God. The Minmatar worship marks on their faces and some ridiculous story about a rock and a mountain. Prefering to live in sin with hedonistic desires brought to them by their association with the vile Gallente. Once these initiates see the light they will have no choice but to advance in their path of salvation. It is like medicine. It may taste bad but we have the best interests of these lessor beings at heart and in the end they will thank us just as the Enlightened Ammatar have thanked us.

Fantastic my aplause Archbishop, you almost had me convinced.
Now will you care to explain this statement here please,
"SPCS Bestowers will begin making biweekly trips into the heart of the Federation to rescue travelers, tourists, gallente youth, homeless and disenfranchised workers from this society of sin and decadence. They will be brought to Amarrian facilities where all food and medical care will be provided. From there they will move to other Amarrians and under their supervision they will be shown the path to Enlightenment and salvation."
I surely hope you are not going to kidnap Federation citizens.
Consider yourselves warned and i speak on behalf of the Federate Authorities, your preaching, your cult, your religion is allowed like every other within the borders of the Gallente Federation.
You are welcome aslong as you come in peace, hurt our people and you go back to Amarr in pieces.

Apparently the Gallante feel it's better to allow their people to die of starvation and with a lack of housing and proper medical treatment to getting fed, housed, and spiritually enlightened while they make something of their lives and learn skills to make them into productive members of society.
I guess you Amarr don't understand, it's better for a poor gallante citizen to die a wretch of a gallante citizen then to live as a servant of Amarr.
Truly, these are the views of those who show a callous disregard for the sanctity of human life. But what can you honestly expect from a people who applaud the politician who wants to put the Intaki in concentration camps and keep the lesser races out of the "gallante" parts of the federation.... all to "respect" the lesser races cultures and keep them distinct no doubt.

So long as you keep your 'pacifying' drugs out of them, and arrange for their return home when they ask; then no, I see no problem with feeding, clothing, and providing shelter to these individuals. Education, so long as it is asked for, is also acceptable.
My only concern is that aid given by the Amarr generally has a price tag attached; and the cost is years, sweat, and blood rather than isk.
And from my experience, a person is only abandoned when they abandon themselves.
These are my own opinions, and I'm sure folks will have much to say about them.

Truthfully, I doubt your intention are even to "save" our less fortunate citizens as much as enslave them. Sure, they'll be fed, housed and brainwashed, but at what cost? At the cost of a life of servitude and chastity? No thanks.
I, for one, would rather die free, of hunger or disease, than live as a slave of the Empire.
As for what our president does... well, not all of us agree with his doings.

This response shows the Amarr arrogance I feared would show up. Our faith was brought by your very own people many years ago and based on the same religious books that you use. We simply do not interpret your texts to state that any one of us has the right to subjugate any other person.
Can you tell me honestly that your original, unaltered religious texts state that God has told us that he chose to damn people from birth or is it just your religious leaders building power though their misinterpretation of God's word?
I will however continue to give you an honor that you will not grant other races as it is one the Federation is based on. As long as your conversions are due to people exercising their free choice and they are not kept against their own will, I will admit you are doing an honorable thing by presenting an alternative for people to follow and letting them choose. It seems you can not grant the same to us.
((OOC Oh, and it seems a part of your post got chopped off...)

I would rather live free and starve to death without a home than to live in opulent slavery. In fact I lived in some of the worst possible conditions while fighting against the Federation when I thought they had betrayed my trust. When I discovered it was those who had misused the system to their own gain that had betrayed me, not the Federation, I returned to the Federation to fight against those who would corrupt it. It is this corruption of a working system that I fear is causing the Empire's downfall.
I respect human life beyond everything and believe the Federation does as well. Life means being alive in any condition. Human life is not simply life, there are many who are alive who are not human. Human life is a life of freedom to follow ones own heart without stopping another from following their own heart. This is what I fight to protect.
If you truly believe there are people in power in the Federation who would enslave our own people (The Intaki of which I am one and all other races are our own people, none are excluded in my heart) please show me your evidence and I will fight them though legitimate and non legitimate channels as necessary to remove those who would corrupt the Federation.

Yes you might prefer death over servitude, but did you ever think some other individual might prefer the life of a slave? The Gallante claim to allow for personal freedom. But then those same people will condemn or try deny a man's right to choose to enter into amarr service and become enlightened just as surely as they tryed to force the calderi to remain bound to the federation. Just as surely as the Federation and her puppets fought those organizations who appealed for and finally fought for Intaki freedom. Life is perfect nowhere, there are always the dispossesed in any system. The difference is what that system will do with them. The Amarr do it differently from any other race. A person, ANY person, can sell himself into slavery for a set amount of time whereafter he will be released with a small pension and the skills to survive in a world. I myself have purchased many such citizens and after their release many have chosen to stay in my service and why not? They are assured that they will be cared for in a manner they wouldnt get elsewhere as long as they are loyal, they do not have to look for a home as it will be provided, they do not even have to bother to provide their own transportation. Everything one could need will be provided for and the only cost is that they do their duty and serve.
The Gallante system does not allow for such things to occur, the idea that someone should be free to die in poverty is truly disturbing and alien to the mind of any true humanitarian.
Embrace the Amarr, for they have come to save the universe from it's ills. The aim of any true amarr is not to simply create a slave workforce like the matari or federation leaders like to scream. The goal of a true amarr is to enlighten all of humanity and end suffering in an empire under one g_d where everyone lives in peace. There are many different thoughts on how to do this, and many different factions indeed work in different methods but all of amarr is unified to save those who could be doomed otherwise.
You say you fight the corruption, but how can u claim to support a federation that with 2 more votes would have put Mentas Blaque in the presidency? If I may quote some news agencies . (A man who is concerned primarily with, in the Senator's own words, "reclaiming a sense of national pride" and "making sure our own people are cared for before tending to the needs of others.") as well as creating ("domestic naturalization," a process involving state-sponsored segregation of immigrant populations to areas specifically designated for them, referred to in the doctrine as "cultural habitats.")

The fact that so many people would vote for such a monster to take office shows you just how horribly wrong the gallante system is. It's a path that the archbishop is correct in calling vile and sinful. It is without a doubt that no matter what transpires as long as that way of life is changed by any means that it's almost garunteed the common people living in the federation will find that their lives will have bettered, and not just that, their lives might then have a purpose.

If you read my response to the Archbishop you will see that I do not condemn those who employ people with no more pay than housing and food (some may call this slavery). I myself am a "slave" to my beliefs. I condemn those who would enslave people against their will.

Perhaps it is true that the people of the Federation are too far gone to properly handle electing proper leaders. On the other hand one elected official out of how many billions is considered an indication of the entire Federation? If it is only one official out of a billion and requires just over 50% of the vote of his providence to elect him then we have 0.00000005% of people supporting him. Would that the Empire had that percentage of criminals.
One point I do not see in the Archbishop's plan is what he intends to do with the people he has gathered up after they have been educated (I will not say one way or the other what "educated" means). Will they become indentured servants to the empire, or will the be returned to the Federation.
If your intent is to educate us against the sins you believe are so widespread (Do you have statistics to show a large percentage of the Federation is immoral or are you trusting our media services which none of us trust) then you should let the converted lead normal lives within the Federation as an example to others that we might see first hand what you believe to be the true way.
If you continue to hold the people who you have converted then this appears to those who choose not to follow you that you are doing little more than trying to attract free labor.
What are your true intentions?
