They're the most evil entity in the galaxy... sacrificing 1k souls to keep a vegetable alive... If this was happening in America people would be outraged...

Simple:
No emperor = Chaos wins

Chaos needs to win!

Hersey, the Emperor protects and watches over all of us. Plus he is our giant night light so we don't get lost in the warp

The proper spelling would be Schiavo. If you are going to make a bad joke at the poor lady's expense, at least spell her name right.

whysomad?

Because they really, really, don't want to get lost on their long space journeys. As it turns out, getting lost in a galaxy full of giant man-eating roaches is a bad thing.

Because in addition to being offensive, your comment is ill-informed.

They don't line up a thousand psykers at the base of the Golden Throne every day and put a bullet in the back of their coconut. The 'sacrifieced thousand souls' bit instead refers to the high burnout rate of those who power the Astronomican (to which the Golden Throne is directly connected) with their psychic energy. They aren't living sacrifices to a corpse on a chair, they are people who are giving their lives in order to keep the entire Imperium form collapsing in on itself because they can neither travel nor communicate across the gulf of space. Admittedly, they are pressed into this service, but on the whole, it's probably better to die powering the Astronomican than it is to be a renegade psyker.

I'm not 100% on this, but this thread seems like a bad idea.
