Right Wing Discussion Thread XI: It's Okay To Be Right

[Benuty]

Calvinism is the best form of Christianity honestly.

....Which is also one of the harshest forms of Christianity.

You kind of have to be harsh to build an empire just ask Genghis "let me make a nice percentage of East Asia related to me" Khan.

[Thermodolia]

Then why dont you define "last resort?"

I thought that was self-explanatory. At least for you.

If I'm recalling from my lurking days, Ghuraba Al-Khorusani (if im spelling it right) legit supported Al-Qaeda

Correction: al-Nusra

That’s not exactly better

[Sovaal]

Frankly, I do t know nor have anywhere it’s taet to know, so hence my opposition to theocracies.

Taet?

May the devil take smart phone keyboards!

[Benuty]

What are you saying the empire makers are wrong?

Yes, our species only needs one empire and we've got another 27,000 years to go before it's formed.

Ah yes, that nice old corpse emperor.

You know if the Imperials would just kill him, and let him be reborn through their worship, and emotions they might actually not be so bad off.

I think he stopped now, AlHamdulillah.
We were good friends on NSG. I know him on a Muslim forum site, but we don't talk anymore. Haven't talked to each other in a long time.

Then they couldn't keep him in a hellish state of living death so his mindscream can act as a beacon for space travel though.

Is it really heresy when certain members of the inquisition actually believe its the only way to save the Imperium, and they are right? It's like you people want the creation of a fifth chaos god or something.

[Old Tyrannia]

I’m talking about the various Christian sects. Many of the people I know hold that members of other sects are wrong and will burn in hellfire.

Gotta love Protestants. Orthodox and Catholic Christians have a more hopeful view of the afterlife, imo. If one dies, you can still pray for their soul and hope they find peace.

Many, if not most, Anglicans also believe in prayer for the dead.

Calvinism is the best form of Christianity honestly.

I find the implications of Calvinism quite horrifying.

I hate to be that guy but I'm gonna nerd out and say that the Astronomican is actually powered by the people sacrificed daily, the Emperor simply directs the energy and makes it a bit more manageable.

[Questers]

All the best societies had their origins in strong political presbyterianism. I don't call myself a Christian but for the purpose of making a society, the reformed tradition seems massively superior

It would be nice for the Imperium to not be on the defensive against everything else in the universe for once including when the chaos worshippers get together to party.

Really? It seems comforting to me (I am just sort of reading over these things now though, I am not that educated in theology.)

Eh, I’ve met a few Catholics who were similar, nalthoigh ive proavoely not met enough people of any creed to say anything definitely.

It's not great for keeping empires, however.

The Calvinist were the Dutch correct? Or am I wrong?

If your descendants can remain competent, and not be subject to isolationist court intrigue then maybe.

Oh, yes of course. But Anglicans are also something of an "odd man out" of Protestantism. I don't usually count High Church Anglicans when I refer to Protestantism in a broad sense.

Then ya got Judaism who’s like well it exists, kinda. But enough about that!!

You out nerded me, my friend. Your kung-fu is strong.

There’s a reason why they are called catholic-lite.

[Questers]

I think I was put off Anglicanism by my education.

[Salus Maior]

Parts of the Anglican Church are also Calvinists, and Scottish Presbyterians.

[Salus Maior]

Some of them are literally just Catholicism without the Pope.

[Reikoku]

It paints God as a monster who predestines people to be tormented for eternity. Not sure how that's remotely good. Probably the reason I've met so many “X-point” Calvinists.
