Is it Heresy to be of the opinion that the Imperial Cult is unnecessary and that it might not be the best idea to center an entire empire around a corpse that is alive simply due to a technicality?
Not denying his continued efforts to maintain warp travel and his alleged struggle against Chaos... I mean, you know "The Emperor protects" and all that, but lets not ignore the elephant in the room...
Isn't it time for humanity to see the Emperor as an asset rather than a deity, to move beyond dogma and take charge of our own destiny?

Ah, but that belief in the emperor manifests in the warp, giving him a large amount of his current power and fueling the miracles he performs. To veiw him as an asset makes him less valuable
if you have to ask, then it's heresy
>>43739940
>Is it Heresy to be of the opinion
Yes
Such questions are best answered by experienced officers.
I suggest you seek out a commissar and discuss your views with them.

>a corpse that is alive simply due to a technicality?
How do you know this? No, seriously, as some random person on a backwater world, how do you know even the slightest thing about the Emperor? How do you know he's not still all powerful and ruling from Terra? How do you know he isn't stronger now than he ever was? What do you know of the Emperor's relationship to the warp? What do you know of the early years of the Imperium? Hell, what do you know of the early years of your own planet?
As radical and super cool as The Empire of Man and the Methods of Rationality sounds, I'm afraid that I can't hear you through all the fedoras.

Sorry Roddenberry, wrong universe.

her·e·sy
noun
belief or opinion contrary to orthodox religious (especially Christian) doctrine.
Yes. It is the very definition of heresy. Given that unlike Chaos which doesn't follow the imperial faith at all, it is even more Heretical than running around shouting blood for the blood god.
No you fucking heretic. Be grateful, the only reason the Imperium exists is because of him.

Next time you have a retarded question read through source material or at least a wiki. Even asking in a general is better.
If you still feel the need to make a stupid thread Start with "Excuse me..." so that it gets filtered.
>>43745963
This is obviously a disguised Excuse me thread.
>>43740064
This.
Repeat this until it sticks.
BLESSED IS THE MIND TOO SMALL FOR DOUBT.

Belief in the Emperor is all that's stopping an extra-dimensional psychic parasite from turning the entirety of humanity into emotion farms and wiping us out because it doesn't understand excess kills us.
I for one am pretty happy to praise the Emperor if it means I get to keep SOME amount free will in some fashion instead of being actively manipulated by alien demons. Like, fuck, at least the Emperor loves me.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about him, you little heretic? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Space Marines, I've led an incomprehensible number of secret raids against the forces of chaos, and I have over 30 million confirmed kills. I am trained in endless warfare and I'm the top Marine in all the Space Marine Chapters. You are nothing to me but just another heretic. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in this universe, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Webway? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the galaxy and your powers are being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, you tiny heretic. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my power fist. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the Adeptus Mechanicus and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the galaxy, you little shit. If only you could have known what holy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn heretic.

OP intended this. You ate his bait. Stay mad, triggerfag.
Hey, why did we name the Leman Russ after...Leman Russ? Wouldn't other primarchs be more deserving of things like that, like Dorn or Johnson orHorus?
>>43739940
Holy Terran tater tots. What is your name guardsman? Congratulations, I the God Emperor of Mankind have heard you through the warp. I am sending a contingent of fuckstodes to pick you up, stuff you full of geneseed, and give you your own successor chapter. Go get em' champ.

The sad thing is the Emperor really would want people to stop worshipping him.

worshipping emps as a god is good though
the emperor probably doesn't mind the worship
its the retarded way people go about it.
>>43739940
You forgot to add 'Excuse me..."
Its 40k. Nothing works, nothing makes sense, everyone is pants on head retarded, and nothing is necessary.
>>43749478
>the emperor probably doesn't mind the worship
Actually, he was pretty against religion in general, and saw it as an obstacle to humanity's destiny.
>The Emperor Himself declared that Mankind would never be free to progress and advance to its destined position as the pre-eminent intelligent species in the Milky Way Galaxy until "the last stone from the last church was cast down onto the last priest."
>>43739940
>Doubting the glorious God-Emperor of Mankind
BLAM!
>Thinking the Emperor is anything less than a God made flesh
DOUBLE BLAM!
The vast majority of imperial citizens know nothing of the Hours Heresy aside from myths and legends (which may be partially or entirely inaccurate, between the 30,000 years that have passed since and the usual imperial censorship), and are indoctrinated from birth that the Emperor is nothing less than a god to be worshipped, and that questioning him or those who run his imperium in his stead is heretical.
