There, it is quite simple. If you do not convert to the One True Faith, you shall perish in the fiery pits of Hell, and God shall withhold his mercy!

Yes, indeed, as you put it, we must all, "Fear the Great God." But we must also love him. We have opened our doors to the world, and we have been mocked. But this was not unexpected, as Evil has many slaves who do not know their own damnation. We will not hold a grudge, and they may repent. However, until that time, we will be praying for them to come to a gruesome end.

Mock the Truth all you will from you safely removed locations. Vengeance shall come to you.

"Live free or die" is my call in this situation

What one god! Only a fool does not give honor to all of them, except the son of the tribe father, he is an ignorant brute. You clearly are the product of a weak god. Gruumsh's Blight Upon you!

"Live free or die" is my call in this situation
Of course you are correct. For only under God can we live free, free from sin, free from worry, free from even death. For to to serve God is to be free, and you never shall truly die.

"And so the cycle continues. Man is oppressed, he takes power, he is arrogant, and he opresses. You have turned the tables, you were once fed to the lions, your time will come when you are overthrown too."--Eric Magnus Leishnerr Supreme Ruler of Jenosha

Alright, in that case, I'll tell you what I always tell my best friend. "You are a twit."

Much of what you is true, there is but only one God but Salvation can only be found in the Roman Catholic Church and every citizen of Khallaca III is proud to be among those who shall be granted eternity in heaven. For without God and His Son there is no Hope. One Nation! One People! One Faith!"

what religion are you exactly?

it sounds alot like the jehova's witness faith, minus the praying for ppl to die, because well wishing that on someone is a sin if you actually read the bible :)

Ha! You are slave! You can run but the masters whip is very long, and will crack your flea bitten hides for trying to escape!-Pope Heragnes XVII The Arrogant

ooc: You gonna respond?

Hardly.

OOC: was away

IC: You call me a slave? By your logic, then, all men are slaves. For to hold any ideal, any concept of a greater, then man would be prostrate before that ideal. Even in the rejection of all, man is enslaved to his desire not to be enslaved, defying all authority for fear of it. Such a society would not last.

Yes, we are but servants, but we are servants of a just cause, and a righteous God. For a man must choose his master in life, and if I must choose, then I shall choose the Good Master. In my serving him, I serve others. In their serving, they serve me. We all serve the One God, who has given us life, given us love.

To paraphrase:

"I saw Hell, and there was a great feast on a table. The people around this feast were chained together, and held silverware three feet long. No matter how they tried, they could not feed themselves.

I saw Heaven, and the scene was the same, but each was using his or her spoon to feed the person across from them, and there was laughter."

The difference between Heaven and Hell is not the lack of chains on the person, but the lack of chains in the soul. As such, our servitude to God is a good servitude and will leave us happy and full, while your slavery to the world will leave you to starve and die.

OOOC: The PUCH (pronounced putch) is the People's Unified Church. Basically, it's a hardline variant of a re-unified Christian Church, combining Catholic hierarchy, Evangelical Protestant fury, and a regionally based tribal culture... all inside of a "collapsed civilization" storyline.

The end result?

Extremely agressive and "pure" Christians with an Inquisition, Ministry of Crusades, tribal infighting, and a massive series of complexes. Believes in converting at all costs. Killing for religion is a high calling. Extremely strict code of morality. Appeals to those with nothing to look foreward to. Viewed as dangerous by secular governments. There will be a forthcoming story for them.

My country agrees that we are happy, happy atheists and want nothing to do with you wacko religious fanatics.

Oh, and you'll be shot on sight if you come near our border.

Oh, and you'll be shot on sight if you come near our border.
And again you demonstrate your moral faults. We maintain our openess of conversion to even your misguided kind. However, any act against the Faith will be treated severly.

I fail to see what "Severe" damage a bunch of Christian fanatics can do to an army three times their size. "Thou shalt not kill" seems to be one of your commandments, while we are free from the bonds of such stupidity.

Communique to The Puch

Know that you are now being observed by our inquisitors, as you are suspected of heresy. There is only one unified church of the people, and that is The High Passionist Church. Tread carefully my friends. Should we deem your faith to be in any way a threat to our own, or to the many others which abound throughout the universe, you will find our inquisition at your doorstep. You have been warned.

Archpriestess of The High Passionist Church

Elder Terenar Radick,

We are the newly formed Church of God's Will (CGW). Located in New Mylor City, Transnapastain

After the Mylor Tragedy, an organization sprang forth from the survivors. With their homes destroyers and lives shattered, they turned to God for comfort and salvation. This movement was seen favorable by the government, and the government has begun to enforce this religion as the new national religion. The nation already had a strong religious base, we aim to further and purify it. We aim to turn Transnapastain into a theocracy reflective of our beliefs. That our Lord has provided the world for us, and we ALL must worship him and thank him for his generosity. All must bow before the Lord, or be made to do so. The filth in our world must be eradicated and the world purified for the Lord.

We see your ideals and see some of them reflected in our own. We ask to send scholars to study your religious works, and talk with your elders about the possibility of unification under the one true God

Blessed Be

Alexander Simon I
Grand Executer of God's Will

You also threaten us with military prowess, yet who is to say that we would meet you in open battle? Our strength is the Word, the Truth, and those would win over your people even as you martialled against us. You would rise to battle to find your army split asunder.

And, aside from Religion, if that can be done, how does your size matter when confronted with absolute dedication and extreme skill? Just as David slayed Goliath, we would leave your blood on the pristine Antarctic Snow.

Ah, now you're going to convert my army, while they're firing at you for trying to overthrow the system the country runs upon? My men are a little bit more sensible than that.

What's that? Carpet bombing, you say...

OOC: Please edit your quote. Wrong puppet, and NOTHING in common with this one. 8)

IC: Thou shalt not murder, infidel. Sometimes, blood must be spilled for Justice. We would be negligent in our duties if we did not respond to crimes against our people, or of slander against the Lord. You speak of freeing yourself from "bonds of such stupidity". You are without morals, then. For with Religion, the moral compass would fail as surely as a magnetic compass without true north.

And yet, this is neither here nor there, for we have threatened no attack. We have merely forewarned you that we will seek justice if you persecute any of our people. We leave you with this thought.

define persecute i;m sure you have a completly different definition of the word.

Transnapastain, we would gladly share our light with you. If we may establish a Temple in your nation, we could foster culture, learning, and faith in that location, for your people to learn and contribute to. Go with God, brethren.


Presgreig, what Church do you speak of, for we do not have a record of that religion from our Scrolls or Books. Perhaps, you are a new faith, or some change from an older. We would gladly share our Faith with you, regardless. Our goal is not to subvert, but to aide in helping the lost find God.


Dregruk, why are you bound to your violence? Have you fallen this far from grace, that your only recourse is to lash out, like some frightened child? Come to the Truth. Come to God.

define persecute i;m sure you have a completly different definition of the word.

To pursue in a manner to injure, grieve, or afflict; to
beset with cruelty or malignity; to harass; especially, to
afflict, harass, punish, or put to death, for adherence to
a particular religious creed or mode of worship.

Transnapastain, we would gladly share our light with you. If we may establish a Temple in your nation, we could foster culture, learning, and faith in that location, for your people to learn and contribute to. Go with God, brethren.


This is acceptable; we await the arrival of your Temple, and offer, on behalf of the Church, thanks, and wish you well

The peoples of Presgreif Terra, Brass Rails, and Gernalitily are united in the light of God through The High Passionist Church of Chrystus Rex. Our church was founded some 200 years ago, and its teachings are based upon the two Testaments common to all Christiandom, as well as a third, the Codex Passionata. We have judged you to be a peaceful people, and seekers of true enlightment. We would be happy to exchange representatives with you; and stand prepared to bring into the Passionist faith, should you feel it is God's will for you to do so. We await further word.

Where have you heard that Jehovah's Witnesses pray for ppl to die?

They are quite welcome in Mirandar as they pay their taxes on time and since they refuse to serve in our armed forces, guarantee a way to pay for our entirely volunteer Navy, Marines and Space Command.

Who are we to question masters rations? We are filled by his pleasure, our pain is his disapproval. We wear our chains like they were gold and toil as it is our only purpose
