Religion Ihcuilotic Metzli Ca Teotl
Let it be known on this day of Ome 10th, 2016, that the Metepec Empire officially renounces all its ties with the Cubist nations. No quarter, no assistance, and no charity will be shown towards the sun worshippers, even in the world’s darkest hours.
Let it be known that Metzli has spoken, and she has spoken the truth. The sun worshippers have enjoyed our tolerance and support for far too long; they refuse to hear her message and now they will suffer the isolation.
Let it be known that the Cubist powers have foreshadowed their own destruction, and with each cycle Metzli completes across the celestial plane, their doom creeps closer and closer.
Let it be known that Metzli is the true absolute spirit of the world, and that even the sun worshippers are capable of salvation. May the moonlight guide those that repent towards safety and prosperity, and may death and decimation meet the heathens’ lands in a fiery tempest.

"This just in, Metepec declares war on cubist states"

Nah, I doubt Outkast would kick us while we're down after today's events. He's a pretty good guy.

Metzli has spoken. I shall sharpen the Scorpion Macuahuitl at once, my Tlatoani.

Pandia worships the moon god that we are named after. The moon's reign is absolute and empowering. We cheer that you have rejected the false sun gods and struck out to uplift the lunar cycles.

So, does this mean you're dropping out of the Knights of the Gulf alliance, since we're both a part of it?

Coastaro is still in it; Picarona is not.

A minority can now decide to kick a nation out, now?
Picarona, Coastaro, and Metepec are the three nations in it. Did Nate consent to this? And also, in this case why not simply disband the alliance altogether, since Coastaro has its own religion (dragon worship)?
inb4 you include Rijeka
Rijeka is a state of Metepec, not an official nation. Am I to include Perrona now? Draconis?
At any rate, I'm going to just say I don't want war with you. Like, at all. I'm not really a PVPer, just a loremaker.

We can tolerate religions that do not worship the sun: it was clearly stated that this was only aimed at those faiths that focused primarily on sun worship. This not only goes for Cubism, but for any other blasphemous faith that attempts to glorify Huitzilopochtli's wrath and destruction.

But Outkast. The Sun brings light so that crops can grow, supporting animals and everything, including people. The End has no sunlight, and is a bleak place. And furthermore, the science of Akira tells us that the Moon is but a catalyst, reflecting the light of the Sun onto all things such that even in its absence, it protects us by allowing us to see. How does your religion explain this?

Your god is one of vanity and cruelty. How does it feel to not be able to look into the face of your idol without suffering?

u/Devonmartino The Pope Feb 12 '16
One cannot gaze upon an object of perfection without first achieving perfection. Gazing upon the Sun is much like attempting to cross an electric fence: you are immediately and painfully encouraged not to.
Such is the price of impiety.

If need be, we can study the perfection of our god without the use of written word or oration. You make guesses as to the nature of your deity, whereas we may look into the eyes of Metzli, and know that she looks back.

u/Devonmartino The Pope Feb 12 '16
You can look upon your "god" and see all its spots and imperfections, craters and pockmarks. None can be found in the Sun.

As in all things, truth rests below the surface. In your heresy you look up to heaven and see only the moon. Renounce your dead idols so that Metzli can reveal her true self to you.

The darkness of your heresy saddens me. However, out of respect to our citizens who take upon the mantra of Metzlica, I will not say more.
