It could also be said that god, whom ever he/she/it is does similar things, like just using its followers to spread what ever, be it love or intolerance of other people's thoughts and belief's similar to what your intolerance of people comparing one fictional god to another who may or may not be fictional.


As for the eight pointed star, I'm gonna have to go ahead and say that GW just took it for use. Not sure about Khorne though, I don't think I've ever seen a similar thing in judeo-christian things.

Oh please.

Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

What I am of an undecided disposition and not trying to be intolerant or anything. Which is odd cause usually I am.

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned this yet, but (although a fly is also commonly used) the rune for Nurgle is a variation on the Biohazard symbol.
