I'm not following chaos, I'm just not happy with the Imperium and ran away...

**Emperors Faithful**

And then got raped by the countless number of things lurking in the void...

**Manchu**

Sadly, that is the fate of the apostate one who turns from the face of the Emperor. Be assured: if your life is not consumed in service to the Emperor, it is doomed to be consumed by that which haunts the Warp.

Poor b0y, you're being tag-teamed by dakka's two most zealous fanatics.

...the 4 Gods Of Chaos...they're gods and therefore cannot be killed....your god however, IS DEAD!!!

**Emperors Faithful**

He's dead? Really, how quick rumours spread through the warp. How misconcerted you cultists are.

Are God is not dead. He is very much alive. To sum it up, as someone here once said.

"The Emperor is the only real god. Becuase you can visit him."

**Morgrim**

I can only comment that it is better for a human psyker to be taken by a Black Ship - and go into any of the fates that causes, be they service, sacrifice or voluntary immolation - is better than to be taken by my dark kin. For demons are hated strongly enough that a psyker potent enough to call him is treated worse than most slaves. Even the brightest flames of our own suffer that fate.

And yet... it could be argued a kinder fate for a psyker to die in Commorragh than be sworn to chaos and die without. At least the consumption of a soul blends it into that which takes it and thus to peaceful oblivion. Consumption by She Who Thirsts... that is an eternity of torture beyond that which we can afflict.

You don't choose Chaos..

Chaos chooses you.

Being a Chaos Worshiper is like being a burger flipper. You don't choose it.. It just you have nowhere else to go.

**Cambak**

Hefting his Heavy flamer Cambak looks around, choas everywhere, cultists on all sides. Though he is not truely alone, for he knows that if he dies this day, his soul will join the God-Emperor of Man kind. With a great mightly roar the heavy flamer bleaches its holy flames apone the cultists, sending them, burning, unto the warp, sending them to their dark gods, where their fate is one of agony, pain, and eternal suffering.

30 minutes later, when the Heavy flamer gives its last belch of flame, the final cultist lays burning at his feet. He sighs, knowing what fate their soul has and carefully moves on, doing his best to avoid the raging inferno he had ignited. He leaves, with a well worn limp, being grazed by bolt and las rounds. Miraculously only one round actually penitrated flesh, and that was in his upper left arm. His good arm. "It is time to return home." he desides and leaves the battle field, to return to his bretheran.

I would rather face nigh inpossible odds, and survive because my faith is strong, then to follow the tainted cult and be sentanced to an eternity of pian, suffering, and agony.

**IvanTih**

After death your soul will become the part of him,but Dark Millenium says that majority of souls are drawn to the chaos gods and that only the strongest souls survive their grasp.

**CadianXV**

The Emperor protects. Through His undying will, He keeps His people safe.

And to quote an IG training officer: "Listen and remember. You are Imperial Guardsmen now... I will teach you your duty and you will do it without hesitation, on command. The reason you do this is because our immortal Lord, the Emperor of Mankind, owns your pitiful lives, and if there is one worthwhile thing you will ever do it is to honour your debt to Him."

That is why I serve the Emperor.

Cause if you die your children will become inquisertors and sob

That right there. Sure, form your own little empire and live in peace and tranquility until someone decides you look funny/smell funny/look tasty/look fun to kill/are heretical/just need to die. Then you're gone.

Serve the chaos and you have to choose between;
1) A life of constant stress and struggle, with all of your "friends" looking for an excuse to kill you all the time...
2)Constantly growing "fun" new appendages and developing strange (amd usually useless) new powers and appendages untill your sanity's broken and all your "friends" have screwed with you so many times that are incapable of trust.
3)Wake up one day wearing gender inappropriate clothing, whipping some poor dude while taking it up the @$$ from a rabid bull just to experiance something new.
4)Recieve syphilis for your birth day from a god who loves you. Actually granpa Nurgle's not so bad since he at least alleviates your ability to feel pain. So long as you don't mind infecting everything around you and looking like bag rotten of @$$holes.

And there's this. Along with the knowledge that at the end of your life if you're lucky your soul will just be destroyed and if you're not you'll get to be a demons plaything for eternity.

Does the Imperium suck? Sure it does. Are the alternatives worse? A LOT worse.

But our Burger joints give you free lunch when you work as a burger flipper, and better health care.

**garret**
