Just pointing out your inconsistencies.

...Why do we have Scientology adds on this site?

[Mongoose]

They're on to us.

Perhaps banning an0n was a bad idea...

Peace is a lie; there is only passion.
Through passion, I gain strength.
Through strength, I gain power.
Through power, I gain victory.
Through victory, my chains are broken.
The Force shall free me.

Alternatively, the Emperor's light is my torch.

Isn't the whole original purpose of religion to give us some peace of mind by suggesting there's something beyond death, beyond the physical?

I believe that is just one side story. I think the origin of religion is the same as is the origin of science - amazement, wonder and the need to understand. The same fuel, a different engine. As for the question, I believe humans are ill suited to actually know much.

"I am the hammer. I am the right hand of my Emperor, the instrument of His will, the gauntlet about His fist, the tip of His spear, the edge of His sword, I am the gauntlet about His fist, I am the bane of His foes, and the woes of the treacherous! I am the end!"

I discovered a group on Facebook called "Church of Behemecoatyl". I joined it.

"To break Imperial law is to break faith with the Emperor, and both are signs of degeneracy. A mind that can do so is by definition flawed, invariably creating flawed thinking and flawed behavior, which are symptoms of the essential inferiority of a human being who can set themselves against their Emperor. Criminals err. And when they err, we have them."

"The Emperor's word is the Law, and the Arbites are the voice by which that word is spoken."

    I am the bone of my sword. 
    Steel is my body, and fire is my blood.
    I have created over a thousand blades.
    Unknown to death.
    Nor known to life.
    Have withstood pain to create many weapons.
    Yet, those hands will never hold anything.
    So as I pray, Unlimited Blade Works!

"We do not know what our chances of survival are, so we fight as if they were zero. We do not know what we are facing, so we fight as if it was the dark gods themselves. No one will remember us now and we may never be buried beneath Titan, so we will build our own memorial here. The Chapter might lose us and the Imperium might never know we existed, but the Enemy — the Enemy will know. The Enemy will remember. We will hurt it so badly that it will never forget us until the stars burn out and the Emperor vanquishes it at the end of time. When Chaos is dying, its last thought will be of us. That is our memorial — carved into the heart of Chaos. We cannot lose, Grey Knights. We have already won."

Or my personal favorite.

"Good work, officer. What's your name?"
"None of us have names. Deployment in six minutes, brother-captain. The Emperor protects."

[mxlm]

Hmm. So I'm taking from this, Mr. Mare, that you believe Counter's Grey Knights stuff is worth reading. y/n?

For some reason I'd had the sense that Counter was one of the--many--unremarkable-bordering-on-unreadable BL authors.

[NGTM-1R]

Hmm. So I'm taking from this, Mr. Mare, that you believe Counter's Grey Knights stuff is worth reading. y/n?

His work is, at the least, readable in Grey Knights. I know he's done other books for BL, and though I can't recall which one I read one and it was frankly horrible. Grey Knights and Dark Adeptus are both worth a read and Grey Knights is actually quite good, but Hammer of Daemons is at best a chore.

This is the exact opposite of the Ultramarines books where it's not readable until after the first omnibus.

I believe all politicians lie; here's why:

In a world where politicians lie, adding polititions who don't would make the existing world more complicated. As such the Occam's Razor proves they don't exist.

[qazwsx]

Occam's razor doesn't prove anything, it just states that without any evidence to the contrary, we should go with the explanation with the lowest complexity, until other data arises which can prove or disprove one of them.

one of the reasons I'm atheist

I'm an Atheist. 'Nuff said.

But I like to mess with people by saying 'how can little chains of molecules think, have emotions, and want to do things?'

Uh. They don't?

If you prove that there are politicians who don't lie, then I guess I'll believe.

But so far the world is less complex without truth-telling politicians.

No, they don't, we're not little chains of molecules, we're ****ing huge.
and if anyone starts calling genes selfish, as in actually being sentient organisms, I'm gonna go ape****.
