Let's say, hypothetically... That the Warp was real. The Dark Gods existed, daemons existed, all that stuff... Except it hadn't been discovered yet. At least not in the sense we think of it in. Some of the legendary things like the Chupacabra, Loch Ness monster, etc. etc. existed, but brushed off as hallucinations, deceptions of the eye and such. And suddenly some guy in freakin'....Russia or Norway or whatever goes on and calls for a huge-ass press conference because he says he can disprove Christianity. Instead of doing what people thought he was going to do, he says something along the lines of; 'I am totally awesome and great for I have contacted the Warp Gods, Nurgle, Khorne, Slaanesh and Tzeentch, and they have promised me powers and knowledge incomprehensible to mere mortals' and then goes off showing some sorcery. A great upheaval in the world and such as many people are converted instantly... Would you, knowing what the Warp is but only thinking of it as something made up by GW, join this newfound religion?

I'm an atheist, but only because nothing in my life has brought me to the conclusion that there is a beneficent, merciful god.

I still wouldn't join the religion in this hypothetical situation, because this is a merely a man shooting fireballs from his hands. An extraordinary feat, to be sure, but one that, other than his claims, provides no evidence of the divine, but simply the supernatural.

Were Khorne/Slaanesh/Tzeentch/Nurgle to manifest, I still would not join. It is die in futile opposition to evil than survive in subservience to it.

I'd have a close look at what Slaanesh had to offer..

David Iyke anyone?

I thought American Politicians did this every other day?

I wish Australian Politicians bothered to try and do this...ours just stuff around and do bugger all!

Slaanesh supposedly hasn't come into existance yet, the fall is supposed to happen in the future, so him saying 'I have contacted the Warp Gods, Nurgle, Khorne, Slaanesh and Tzeentch" would be a lie.


Come to think of it.....this is all fiction so whatever he said would be a lie BUT if it wasn't I'd hop on board with him. We lack the SM's and Imperial guard to defend us so there wouldnt be much in this guys way

I'd imagine the worlds combined current armed forces could be considered on par with or perhaps better than most PDF's.

And as for the existence of Slaanesh, time flows strangely in the warp.

Amen to that (hmmm slightly ironic ) I would have to say that if I saw that on the news I'd have to quite possibly yell "AWESOME!!!"...but of course thats the immaturity running thorugh me I would think that a large portion of the earths population would commit suicide, or join with the 'cult', and it also depends who joined the cult, for example if the Queen joined then most of England would go with her, same for any ohter highly respected firgure, unless it was Julia Gillard, whom most of the Austrlian population would do the opposite of whatever she chose I for one, however, would probably join what ever cause I could to stop the 'happenings', Earth really deosnt need like that atm.

Yeah i probably wouldn't...
Most of my family was religious but for reasons i'd rather not put down they stopped being religious.

I would not join him. I would cut his throat in his sleep and take his head for the Blood God.

That would technically be serving the same power he preaches, but you'd still gain nothing from it as Khorne looks upon deceit and sneakiness as lame.

I would just look at my wall, with the notice reading,

MARK V POWER ARMOUR BREAK GLASS IN CASE OF HERESY

And go and spread the word of the Empra

Then I'll just swing a sword at his head in public! Khorne abhors sorcery!

Bah! Her Majesty's personal choice would not prevent most of England flocking to this dark apostle in any case. They are a pack of conniving heretics all, just look at what their foul sorcery has done to our cricket team!

The only thing I'd do is stand up and ask him "So uh... does this mean the Army will issue chainswords now?"

Papa don't preach, I'm keeping my nurgling now...

I may not be English but i do know she's the Queen of Britain not just England. And also not that many people care what she does.
And you know you lost that match fair and square.

You would not believe how much power the Queen actually holds, even now. However she is largely a figure head right now, with Prime Ministers and Governers running everything else.

MechaEmperor7000 wrote:You would not believe how much power the Queen actually holds, even now. However she is largely a figure head right now, with Prime Ministers and Governers running everything else.

I would belive it because i know how much power she holds. She is the head of the commonwealth. She has the power to declare war, form a new government and dissolve the existing one. She also technically has power over the army. But the monarchy agreed a long time ago not to do any of this.

It's kinda scary knowing one person legally and legitimately hold that much power right now (not counting dictatorships).

I was responding to a post regarding England. I don't know how the others would react to all this.

It's kind of scary we let idiots vote.

Isnt passing the throne hereditary?

Anyways, let's get back on topic about Chaos Cults and what you would do about hit

I am British just not English.
Most people in Britain see then queen as... sort of a status symbol. She is the personification of the Empire (Yes it needs a capital) people will like her but they will not base their religion on her. (Though some would follow her)

Monarchies are always hereditary.

Personally the fact they are "The dark gods" and pretty much the sum of all negative emotion most people would be put of.

Well Hope is hardly a "negative" emotion. And Tzeentch is not exactly the nicest guy.

To save my ass I will force GW to rewrite the fluff about Chaos(automatically edits OP) which will then become subservient to me.

Ahhhh I knew it!!!! That heritical foul sorcery! Brits and their Merlins ...We never lose, we never lose, we never lose.... (Huddles in a corner and cries)
But on topic, the emperor would protect us from any sort of daemon incursion...that's what the men in black suits told me, they wouldn't lie... would they?

That's a good point...
Does the Emperor exist as well?
If he does we simply get WW3... or just the slaughter of a bunch of Chaos Worshipping idiots.

I don't think you understand me. I was cracking a joke at our recent Ashes match between Australia and England. As far as I know there isn't a 'British' cricket team.

yep, no British team, but PLAYA'S! are drawn from all over the U.K, well world really.. just like every other team

OT.
I would sit back and watch as all the extremists/terrorists of the world (christian, muslim, jewish etc.) decend on the conference.. hopefully wiping each other out.. YAY! no religious stuff anymore =p
