What is the Emperor's real name? does anybody know it? Or is it so powerful a word nobody dare speak it for it's mere utterance will make the head of any mortal man explode if within earshot of the person speaking? Or something like that because you never hear about his name or anything.

I've heard some people say that he's Jesus but I personally don't see the resemblance.
But in all seriousness I've never read anything that even hints at a name...and I doubt they would name him when they barely describe what he looks like in the HH novels.

I was serious about the name, but apparently he was jesus, muhamad and other religious leaders throughout history, he was just guiding us until he could show himself as the emperor and unite all of mankind

We love what we love. Reason does not enter into it. In many ways, unwise love is the truest love. Anyone can love a thing because. That's as easy as putting a penny in your pocket. But to love something despite. To know the flaws and love them too. That is rare and pure and perfect.

I always figured one of the guises of the Big-E was Constantine the Great; politically re-unified the Roman Empire (which itself has all the right iconographies for the Imperium, barring the skull fetish of GW) and attempted to further unify the Empire with the religious worship of a single God, represented by a Crux.
I also figured his displeasure at how that all turned out is what lead him to taking a hard Science & Atheistic path during the great crusade.

Or maybe that the Emperor had a name when he was born, but it was so long ago and he had so many different names since that even he cannot remember it.

Now i'm not quite up to scratch on religion but isn't the Jewish god and the Christian god the same? They are simply seperated by their beliefs on the Messiah...
I'd say the Emperor wasn't the religious leaders but instead the guy coming up with all the technology and science like Galileo or Archimedes but that's just my idea.

To them, it's not the same god. And even I don't believe that because cultural difference is to great to be the same god.

You're aware Catholics are Christians right?
As far as i am aware the Christian god and the Jewish god are the same god...
