Jesus supposedly died once for our sins.

The Emperor, however, lives, but his life is a constant experience of neverending agony beyond our pale comprehension... he doesn't let go and die simply because he loves humanity and knows he is all that binds it together.

In this way, is the Emperor more of an impressive figure to look up to/idolise than Jesus?

Of course, I understand that both are fictional characters, this is just for the sake of comparing fluff from different fantasy worlds

Ask yourself one question and you will comepletly understand. Which one had a flamming sword and wore gold armour?

Someone call the Pope...

**despoiler52**

When did the pope have a flaming sword.

I find this topic offensive, and most people have the common sense not to debate this publicly.

**riplikash**

Admittedly, a bit tactless and out of place. Especially since you obviously intend it to be so with the fictional character jab.

As a side note, very few historians would try to argue that Jesus of Nazereth DIDN'T exist, the question is of divinity, not existence.

From a theological point of view, the passion wasn't just the death of Jesus, but actually experiencing the entirety of human experience, every pain and torment at Gethsemane.

Still, flaming sword...

But then again, Jesus had laser eyes. Tough call.

Worst. Thread. Ever.

Jesus isn't confirmed as being real, he is boring.

Emperor, well, he was basically superman + lex luthor + sly marbo.

We know who just won.

**Blitza da warboy**

why is it taking so long to lock this thread?

Jesus (real or not) had an impact which lasted for over 2000 years on pretty much more than 90% of the world. The emperor is pure fiction and affected less than 1% of the world.

Jesus= son of god ( not that im saying he is real or not)

Emperor= Some guy in the future who saved mankind from itself and is barely alive.

well, i think we know who wins

( and no i will not say who just for the sake of not making anyone angry

)

Yea being Catholic im pretty offended when you say Jesus was fictional. I come to this site to discuss Warhammer not whether a leader of a Religion is better than a fictional character.

**Retribution**

Some of you need to lighten up on the INTERNET

**Karosok**

Yeah. This thread should be locked.

**Iron_Chaos_Brute**

Oh, god, no. Just no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.

Awful, awful idea.

**Shadowbrand**

I would go as far to say the Emperor was inspired be Jesus.

Ill just go.... I have Cancer.

OP must have been really intoxicated, or really out of it to think this was a good post. I'm no bible thumper but this is just bathing in gravy and jumping into the bear pit.

**Volkov**

Well the imperium draws heavily from Christianity and the catholic church. So one could make the argument that the Emperor is jesus. Especially when his re-birth comes in 7th edition

**Havokas**

hahah lol at Jesus impacting 90% of the world.

at least 40k Fluff is interesting to read, go the emperor

These stats amuse me in their assumed certainty.

Well done, yo.
