Guys I just realized that the 40k backstory of the King's strongest and most favored son rebelling and trying to usurp him and turning half of the "angelic host" evil in his rebellion is just like how Lucifer rebelled against God

I wonder if I'm the first person to notice this lol. Do you think it was intentional?
>>
OP delulu, it's clearly a reference to Nasuverse Holy Grail Wars.
>>
Actualy in the Book of Enoch in the Ethiopian bible, which was referenced by the Church Fathers, it was actually Samyaza who was the strongest Angel and even Lucifer was afraid of Samyaza and the Watchers who are fallen angels who became the nephilim and want to fuck fat chicks.
>>

>want to fuck fat chicks
I'm sorry what?
>>
40kids are retarded manchildren who think their shitty paradise lost ripoff is original
>>
>>97655650
actually the part where God wants to flood earth because of that is left right there in Genesis.
>>
>>97655611
Father Mislav, please do less listening and "reacting" to youtubers dramatically reading wiki articles and do more commentary.
>>
>>97655611
Wait, so you're saying the Horus Heresy and "chaos gods" were an inside job meant to help keep people in line and it's all the emperor's fault?
>>
Ah yes, I remember when James Workshop said "You have beaten me, Horace Heresy, you are truly the Warhammer 40,000"
>>
>>97655611
It's more akin to the An Lushan rebellion
>>
>>97655611
>I wonder if I'm the first person to notice this lol. Do you think it was intentional?
Probably not. There don't seem to be any other sorts of allegory or references to any religious themes within 40k, so it's probably just a coincidence.

Imagine being raised on semitic mythology that its your only frame of reference...
And you don't know your own people's mythos or any other mythology...
Sad
>>
>>97663196
>And you don't know your own people's mythos or any other mythology...
Neo-pagan, there are no myths similar to the rebellion of Lucifer.
>>
>>97670550
Wrong
What is the titanomancy?
>>
>>97655611
Yes it's pretty obvious. Big E on the golden throne and Malcador is like Jesus on the cross too.
>>
>>97655656
paradise lost is just a psyop, men cooperate just fine, if it was a group of women however
>>
>>97670722
That is Lord of the Files.
>>
>>97672067
that was fiction, the IRL 'Lord of the Flies' had the stranded boys all cooperating
>>
>>97670719
>Big E on the golden throne and Malcador is like Jesus on the cross too.
I always found Emps fits the Jesus comparison more than Sanguinius, especially given what Emps coming back (something Sanguinius can't even do) would mean for the setting.
>>
>>97672067
true thanks bro
>>
>>97672524
Yeah, isn't Sanguinius more of an archangel Michael figure?
>>
>>97672067
Shit I wanted to write 'flies', not 'files' Freudian slip from thinking about islands and kids.
>>
>>97655611
OP that sounds pretty heretical since literally no biblical or biblical-adjacent sources name 19 other sons of god let alone that two of them had already been destroyed and subjected to the roman practice of damnatio memoriae
>>
>>97663196
"Your" mythology wouldn't even exist but for the Christian chroniclers who recorded it LARPagan mutt.
>>
>>97672947
Pagans didn't write down? Just oral trad?

Erm... my own people's mythos IS Christian. Yours too. The tree-worshippers you're LARPing as caring about were BTFO by Christ over a thousand years ago. Generations of your ancestors, who worshipped Christ, look on your LARP and are ashamed of your gayness.

Divination by titans? Mancy is from Old French -mancie, via late Latin -mantia from Greek manteia ‘divination’ according to google.
>>
>>97674269
And look where that got us
>>
>>97670567
You mean Titanomachy
>>
>>97663196
Do you wish to convert to Zoroastrianism or are you going to spout some Hyperborea nonsense now?
>>
>>97674225
NTA but there's a lot of archeological viking remains and shit where I live. Vikings basically only documented shit on rune stones (or sometimes on walls, everyday objects) but they're to this day still hard to translate and the people who did inscriptions were all of varied skill lol.
Much of what we know of the viking age traditions and norse belief systems (that can't be gleaned from archeological inferences) comes from an Icelandic Christian scholar called Snorre Sturlasson, but this was after the viking age was already over by a couple of hundred years. He just put oral tradition into words.
>>
>>97676682
Or not into words but into text rather. Snorre put together the Prose Edda. There's also the Poetic Edda which is of more unknown origins, but it's just composed of oral tradition stories and then put onto paper essentially

No.
Do you think it was intentional?
As intentional as the Council of 13 being a parody of Christ and the Apostles and the stone all grey furs have to touch being the law given to Moses.
>>
>>97670567
Titanomachy is like the opposite of the war in Heaven.
>>
>>97676534
I mean you're wallowing in creature comforts rather than worshiping a tree in a mud hut, so pretty far.
>>
>>97663196
To be fair, all ethnoreligions and geographically-locked religions seem kind of silly once you realize just how varied and vast the world is. Creation myths specifying a particular group of people fall apart in the face of the sheer number of different ethnicities on the planet.
Christianity, to its credit, made an attempt to rectify this and become a universalist religion. However, with a hebrew-specific core that too, falls apart.
There are modern religions that don't have this issue but they are all clearly formed by con-men or schizophrenics.
>>
>>97676689
>>97676682
Yes that's true.
>>
>>97677420
Ethnoreligions and ethnostates were the norm until shitlib modernity, it makes perfect sense in historical context.
>>
Why is tg so low in iq?
>>
>>97679410
Elaborate
>>
>>97655611
It's literally just Le Morte d'Arthur, lol
>>
>>97679273
>it makes perfect sense in historical context.
I agree with that statement.
I am not contesting whether or not ethnoreligions make sense historically.
I am only commenting that their ethnic/regional focus seems strangely limited in scope when faced with a world clearly larger than they imagined.
>>
>>97679410
smart people left this place long ago
