However, even as you yourself make clear: they simply don’t address the issue of faith. They do not object. So in that regard, you’re demonstrating that Elsebeth is right: it’s fine to post support of the Amarr God, but posting objections gets people clutching their pearls about how rude and uncivilized you are.

Yes, it does. It is by definition advocacy of the utter annihilation of all other cultures and systems of belief—or non-belief. Advocating the Reclaiming is advocating an assault on others’ way of life, and their identities. The Reclaiming, as presented to us many times over by your betters, has no allowances for ‘they listened, they considered, they said ‘no thank you’, so that’s that’. The unbeliever is not to be offered the Reclaiming, it is something they will be compelled to accept… or they’ll be removed from existence.

And no, pointing that out is not ‘rude’, either, especially in the context of a discussion of what can and cannot be discussed. If anything, denying it, and insisting that advocating the destruction of trillions of peoples’ way of life (or, failing that, their lives) is not by necessity combative… that is rude, and insulting. Further, no, weighing in uninvited on a conversation taking place in a public forum is also not rude.

Imagine how you would feel about the statement ‘The Amarr Faith must be completely wiped out’. Because that statement is what you are saying about every other way of life, every time you make a public statement in support of the Reclaiming.
