living saints


arn' t living saints suppose to be more powerful then the emperor

Simple answer: no.

and i know i am making alot of threads here, its just im so interested in the lore, that i have so many questions......

i also would like to thank you guys for answering my questions without attitude, over at heresy online..i dont get the same reception

so i thank you for your hospitality

Not even close, I'm afraid you are jumping to conclusions, though I don't even know how you get to that conclusion.

That's backassward, Living Saints are powered by their/others faith in the Emperor/the Starchild. The Emperor could snuff out a Living Saint with a glance.

At the risk of offending fluff purists at a incomplete and incorrect metaphor:

Saying a living saint is more powerful than the Emperor is like saying a Bloodthirster is more powerful than Khorne.

Or like saying St Peter was more powerful than Jesus Christ.

LightKing, some friendly tips:
Capitalization and punctuation are your friend, particularly on these forums. Please use both.

If you're going to make a bunch of threads, it does help to have some more thought process behind the thread than "aren't living saints more powerful than the emperor?" with no justification or explanation.

Careful, us atheists may try to pull out a needle and pop some holes in that analogy.

I also am very curious as to what fluff could possibly make you think a saint is more powerful than the GEOM when the GEOM's the most powerful psyker... well... ever.

Well you see, no. No they aren't.

I second the "use capital letters and punctuation, dammit!" notion. No offence, though. Also, try to make more research and read Lexicanum articles before you jump to silly conclusions. Most of the questions you've asked on this forum are answered there.

Nope.

Living Saints are powered by the Emperor. It seems you don't quite understand how powerful the Emperor truly is.

Long answer : Noooooo
Short answer : No

A friendly tip, read more fluff before posting such ideas/ questions

It can be argued that a Living Saint is a "daemon" created by the God-Emperor, in much the same ways that a Daemon of Chaos is created by their patron Chaos God.

The actual process behind this is a lot more complicated, and not worth getting into here, but that's the basic gist. So... no, Living Saints are not superior to the Emperor in anyway... and would be gravely offended if you were to suggest such a thing to her.
