god wanted her to starve in the orphan gutters and turn to faith for comfort
except god is a retard and reincarnated her into the body of an anime orphan with ULTIMATE MAGICAL POWER instead of a normal pleb anime orphan

One more god rejected.

This, but sonzai-ekksu isn't even that. He was talking about how so and so many billion people was allready too much.
His system isn't perfect either so there is that.

>>154220954
If you met a "god" in a similar circumstance would you be arrogant enough to know which one it is out of all possible religions? How could you be sure you even met a god?

>>154220954
In Salaryman's case it's established right away that he's some sort of sociopath and his denial of Being X is probably more out of pride and arrogance than a logical evaluation.

She is like 15 now on the novels, right?

>>154220954

She's agnostic at this point desu.

>>154220954
It didn't jive with his personal interpretation of what "god" would be (the expert he is), so he immediately discounted it out of hand.

Meanwhile "sonzai eccxu" is legit warping reality.

Now we wait for the big reveal that being x is really just something stupid and the mc was totally rite guise lol dumbass theists amirite *tips fedora*

Zipperheads never portray gods well.

So the anime shows X like some sort of malevolent alien entity. The manga literally acknowledges the existence of god but he's just part of a larger pantheon of other gods that humanity has believed in.

Where does the LN stand?

>actually believing that Being X is God

FUCKING LMAO

>>154220954
Will you convert if God what you meet will Shinto, Hindu or some ancient deity?

>>154220954
Because the Japanese still have their bronze age religions and you shouldn't compare their use of the word "god" with the one in abrahamic religions

>>154220954
Faith = you BELIEVE in something that might not even exist for all you know

>>154220954
a being with such amazing powers is not proof of a god

also why the fuck are the big boys of the empire constantly throwing tanya into risky buisness.
she has showed herself to be a great tactician and should not be put in danger.

she prepared a way to bomb a city and still abide to the old ethic rules.
(we know she prepared this since she knew that a world war would definitely start blowing up city's sooner or later, but remember this is unprecedented for the world she is in)

A strong fighter is worth 10 man. a brilliant tactician much more.

Can someone please explain why the fuck did she join the military?

>>154222240
>a being with such amazing powers is not proof of a god
Despite it being literally what we classify Gods as, yeah.

>>154222249
Military offers high pay.

>>154222257
No. It's what we call god-like.

To be an actual god in needs to be an object of faith.

>>154222249
She had +A magical power. So instead by recruited by force she entered by will so she climb rnaks faster

>>154222249
>>154222266
And since she was discovered to have high magic levels, she knew she would have been drafted anyhow, so taking the initiative and becoming an officer becomes the best option.
This was explained in episode 1.

because she's one of the, if not the most powerful mages they have, it'd be foolish not to use her.

you sure?

it seemed to me they are pretty happy to use her papers.

jealousy would probably prevent that

>>154221898
Same as manga. The manga is pretty faithful to the LN unlike the anime. Though i do like how the anime handles being x since in the LN its silly.

>>154222332
so she is worth 100 man

she can still die very easily and then they lost not only a great fighter but an amazing tactician that could win more battles by sheer outmaneuvering.

Well I mean god probably does exist but I doubt it's going to be the kind of god that any of our puny little brains can ever hope to conceive.

Fuck. God probably has a 4D waifu and pleasuring itself to non-concepts. Doesn't even realize that we humans are alive let alone created us.

>>154222332
Soldiers win battles but tacticians win wars. Do they just lack mages or do they have so many outstanding tacticians that they have to ignore a brilliant mind like Tanya's?

>>154222332
Its not specifically that she is amazing, its because she is leading currently the only fast deployment mage unit. Her units whole point is to be put into places where they need troops as fast as possible.

>>154222336

Some powerful but perfectly human magician could do this too.

>>154222747
And what if Tanya died? Do the empire have so many good tacticians they can dismiss Tanya as expendable, even though she has demonstrated that she can win them much more by planning ahead? In battle, a stray bullet can kill anyone, even the best fighters.

>>154222889
Wouldn't her super-powered passive forcefield prevent that?

Just declare the other guy to be a non-believer or having weak faith and off you go.

And?

There is literally endless possibilities for who it could be. Including some insane AI running a simulation of multiple worlds.

>>154222889
She has shown to be a super-competent strategist and a super-competent battlefield commander with a super-magic jewel computer that allows her to shoot magical superexplosion beams.
They can use her for both at the same time, and win the war thus far faster than normal.

Ironically, the reason why Tanya will never get a constant desk job is because she's too competent as a battlefield commander.
She has only herself to blame. And all her attempts to gain a safe position are thwarted by herself trying to make herself look not like a coward, always saying yes to all assignments.
This causes the higher-ups to erroneously believe that she wants to be at the front-lines and lead directly instead of sitting at strategic command.

Her former life and experience as sarariman where he was always trying to prove himself to be invaluable to his superiors by getting a high management job doesn't work the same in a wartime setting where their nation is beset by all sides from enemies and need everyone they can get to win the war.

Now if only the Empire had the Izetta-settings Germanian Empire's cloning technology.
Then the Empire would be able to send a horde of Tanya-loli-clones against their enemies and preserve the original Tanya at strategic HQ.

>>154220954
She does not believe in existence of Being X, she KNOW that Being X does exist. Knowledge and faith are opposite things.

>>154223068

And how is that not a God for all intents and purposes?
Your attempt to define and put it in some strawman form with neat limits so you can then beat it isn't really anything more than autistic mental masturbation about rocks and their weight.

Tanya is a SuperLoli. Even though she's been exposed to an act of divine intervention, she continues to valiantly call Mysterious Being X an evil piece of shit whose divinity she won't recognize. It isn't a god of love like it pretends to be, it's merely a devilish and wanton tyrant that Tanya refuses to bend the knee to. Free Will grants her the power to reject this God Hand even though the entire world is targeting her thanks to Mysterious Being X declaring her to be the target of DEUS VULT. Truly, his greatest mistake was leaving Tanya alive, because a magic loli has the power to surpass even God.

As an Italian i'm offended that they don't show us being incompetent against imperials because of a shit general, it's always fun to see us eat shit.

>>154224478
Also i just realized
It's called Dakia cause the ancient roman province in modern romania was called Dacia.
Clever.

>>154224478

I'm inclined to agree with Tanya. He's a shitty god. True faith doesn't require proof to exist. This god is harming his own cause every time he makes an appearance.

That's because it's not God, it's the Devil. God doesn't give a fuck he's not even paying attention.

Having power over life, death and time lapse is not something any lower divine being can do. Also we don't know if the current reality is the same universe and time line because in Salaryman timeline, no mages existed and Japan was shown as normal like our current world.

Then why don't see a competing deity of equal power as Sonzai X trying to sway Tanya to do his bidding? We would assume other beings of equal or more power would be interested in gaining believers and followers.

Unless Sonazi X is the real god.

>>154225814

If no higher power exerts it's presence or otherwise an angel could very well suffice pretending to be a god (to lower beings) and they wouldn't know it. I think there was this pretty boy that tried doing something like that but ended up in a fiery place. It's ultimately a matter of power levels. So for X-kun has shown himself to be on top.

Welcome to WW1 and WW2 Germany, bleeding your aces dry rather than allow them to rest because you're surrounded by more numerous ennemies.

Also they already have Tanya's memoire, and if Tanya was higher up the ladder she would definitely butt heads with everyone and threatens everyone's position, it's safer to just have her as a tactical consultant (or whatever he is) and send her on the front.

>>154220954
Not only sonzai X is a dick, but even if it's an omnipotent God you don't know what kind of God he actually is. Does he stick to the Catholic creed ? Protestant creed ? Orthodox creed ? Islamic creed ? Etc. Heck he could just apply his own fucking rules that nobody knows, he exists in multiple worlds after all.

So yeah, not worshipping him is not necessarily idiotic. Especially when you consider how horrible that God is.

Let's be honest here, if a god did exist and you met him when you died the first I'd have to ask is if hell or a near equivalent to eternal damnation for non-believers existed.

>>154226011
Maybe the actual god doesn't give a fuck about some petty scuffles like this. Maybe there isn't a god in the first place but X is just more powerful than humans and thus able to fuck with them. Maybe other beings like X are doing this shit in other universes and this one is just X's pet project. Like people playing Sim City.

It's incredibly simplistic and lazy to just say "welp he's god" when you see someone do things you didn't know were possible. The laziest answer imaginable.

You have clearly failed to infer what I'm saying. I'm all for everyone having whatever gods they want, there is no true god, any one that displays sufficient worth is worthy of being called a god.
If Thor walked down the road carrying a car on his shoulders, I'd acknowledge him. If Xoltl showed up at my door asking my help to carry some bones down under for him, I'd acknowledge him as a god. If Yahweh was lounging on my lawn sipping a rum and coke and says "Dude, I'm the one and only God, praise me" I'd call the cops on his divine ass unless he moved it off my lawn.
A god is only worth worshiping if they prove their divinity, and any that can and do are worth praising for it. Break reason, be acknowledged as a god is how I'd sum it up.

>>154226398
You have absolutely no basis to claim X has done anything besides using the rules of the universe like a magician. Are you saying you are 100% aware of how the universe works and can declare when something goes beyond that like only a god would be able to?

>>154226341
If you are powerful enough, yes.

>>154226419
So yeah, it's a human magician conducting experiment. Glad we finally agreed.

>>154222938
Not at all. Gods are almost always just immortal superwizards, and whenever they are portrayed as proper transcendent entities, nothing is ever said about them, and they usually just look like big dumb ghosts, translucent and everything.

I mean, i'm not saying they shouldn't be powerful, i'm saying that they should be powerful because they're gods, not the other way around. Power should be a side effect of sheer cosmic importance.

Why can't it be an alien? Oh that's right God didn't create aliens so they can't exist.

Except it isn't.

>>154226543
You are simply treating life and death and time as something that only a god can manipulate, but there's nothing to back this claim up. You just decided you want to call X a god which makes you unable to consider all the other possibilities.

>>154226589
What should a god be able to do to prove that he's not "just" an omnipotent being?

>>154226562
This.
Hubris of man and all that.

I think we are all forgetting the true big question here. Does Tanya have pubic hair yet?

>>154226589
No, you're just retarded and using MUH HEADCANON to tip harder than the leaning tower of faggots.

If X is not God then there will be evidence that points to it being true. There isn't. Until you find it then you're just being stupid.

>>154226580

How so? A person not accepting god's existence and his existence are two separate things and I'm not sure what's so hard to grasp about that.

>>154225840

So like. Does Being X have thousands if not million simulations of multiple worlds where he puts a single non-believer in there just to prove a point?

Is Tanya just a drop in the heretical ocean of poor sods reincarnated into a different world.

>>154222804

Well you could argue that Sonzai X is probably an incredibly powerful cosmic being among other rather than an all-powerful omnipotent cosmic entity. Heck he could even be the Devil or a similar entity for all we know.

The only thing we know is that Sonzai X is a thing and that he has incredible powers. We don't know if he's the only of his kind, if he's immortal or not, or even if he's omnipotent and he sure does not appear to be omniscient.

So yeah, there are legit reasons to doubt that he is God, in the same way the abrahamic one is.

You secondaries literally can't bother with canon and prefer talking over each other's heads with your headcanons? Salaryman recognizes Sonzai Exxu's powers, but due to how screwed up the world is, he concluded that an omnipotent but malevolent being must be the Devil instead of God.

The jews were originally polytheistic and didn't become monotheistic until around the babylonian exile. Yhwh was a "holy warrior" type of a god and eventually won over the rest, possibly because they felt the need for a strong warrior god who would save them from their suffering. This is why there are remnants of polytheism in the old testament (plural forms when referring to god, god behaving very inconsistently etc). All of the myths and such are taken from older sources as well, pretty much everything the jews are telling you and themselves about their history is fabrication and powerfantasies.

The japanese concept of what a god is, isn't an omnipotent guy, the majority of japanese are shintoist and shinto gods that you would actually pray to have more in common with mortals then the abrahamic god does. Shinto gods are either spirits of the land or animals or even just random dudes. While they can be powerful they can have biases, be tricked, not know things, get their position usurped or even be killed.

>>154226739
So is this guy praying to sonzai X or some other "god"? Are we going to see a clash between X and Y at some point?

>>154226829
You don't seem to get it. We all know X is capable of incredible things, the question is whether he is a god like he claims or just a powerful being.

An almighty being has the possibility of being a god but a god isn't always an almighty being.

Until we're shown otherwise, it's safe to assume that the guy saw Entity X, who might or might not be God, the Devil, just a functionary in a vast incomprehensible bureaucracy, an annoyed artificial intelligence running a weird simulation, an autistic being at the center of the universe dreaming all of reality or a powerful alien wizard with reality-altering powers.

seriously, an omnipotent entity doesn't need proof and proof would be impossible

it'd simply wave a magic wand and the concepts of truth and logic would disappear and after that it'd make a sandwich too big for it to eat and eat it

the fact that there are rules that allow one to think about a thing at all makes it not omnipotent

>>154223913
That snake was my favourite character in the Bible.

>>154227037

>>154227218

>>154227225
If he can cheat despite it being impossible to cheat, then why ought it not be proof of divine powers?

>>154223859
>>154223913
No, it was another deity telling G-d to spice things up a little, since Tanya didn't find faith.

>>154227233
Why should being able to think disprove another being's omnipotence?

proof of god is literally impossible
it can always be a trick

>>154227542
Wouldn't that just be obstinate self-delusions?

>>154227542
And it is for that reason that you are to rely on faith. X can't be God because he subverts this obvious point

>>154227284

The idea being the rock thing is essentially strawman omnipotence and beat it. Solution isn't allowed.

>>154227542
By those standards proof of anything is impossible

Sonzai Eksu can't be god because he's self-admittedly incompetent piece of shit who can't manage 7 billion people.

>>154227767
Well he could've just drowned everyone except for one dudes family

The idea of an omnipotent being existing isn't hard to swallow.
However, the idea of an omnipotent being existing yet somehow be really petty and incompetent is.

I believe that's the kicker here.

>>154227732
correct

>>154227798
There are gorrillions of stars in our universe alone, if he can't manage just 7 billion fuckwits then what is he even good for?

>>154227676
Why not make a rock that he can't lift, then make himself stronger so that he can lift the rock?

Having proof of a higher lifeform that claims to be God doesn't mean you have to believe that it's God, nor does it mean he is automatically worthy of worship.

>>154220954
>implying X is a god

>>154227978
Yes well that's why the Christian God is really hard to swallow.

I believe that there's a higher being out there certainly. But I genuinely doubt that it's any of the stupid shit that humanity has conceived.

>>154227483
if you can reason about a thing according to a predetermined set of rules then you've limited to things behavior

the concept of omnipotence is incoherent, you can't believe in it and the idea that things can be proven logically at the same time

>>154227732
t. David Hume

>>154227088
They don't have to be "christian gods", as if there were more than one anyways.

I'm just saying that there should be something more fundamental that distinguishes a god from any fuckwit with magical powers.

Take 40k for example. The chaos gods aren't really that strong. Sure, they have a lot of power, but that power doesn't let them make a mockery of realspace. They're stuck in the warp, required to sup at the emotions of mortals to survive. Like psychic maggots. Most of their work is done through their followers, and despite their apparent intelligence, they're constricted by their very own chaotic nature, constantly infighting and doing everything inefficiently. Which is why chaos undivided is such a problem. But here's the thing. The chaos gods are actual transcendent entities.

They exist outside of reality, and cannot be killed by mundane means. They transcend time and space, as seen with slaanesh's retroactive existence. They also represent more than just themselves. They're living ideas. It doesn't matter what khorne is, or what he looks like, or what you call him, or even who he is. He's just the blood god, chaos god of violence and murder. You can no more be rid of him than you can be rid of violence itself. He's fundamental, and therefore, the highest kind of existence, yet extremely limited. But if khorne isn't a god, then nothing is.

>>154228158
Except necrons could permanently shut the warp outside the material realm if they put their backs to it.

>>154220954
Existence X is a low-mid bureaucrat in the hierarchy in charge of reincarnating people, also petty as hell, he's salaryman-tier in the divine hierarchy.

>>154227616
logic makes a lot religious concepts impossible in principal so if you did encounter proof of them that would mean that all human sensory information and reasoning are unreliable and you would have no choice but to believe in random things

the "I think therefore I am" line is about how you need to have basic logic to be able to believe in anything at all but basic logic should tell you that omnipotence can't exist so a god can either remake logic to allow for its own omnipotence but as long as the universe has math in it the idea of an omnipotent being can't be believed in for any reason other than not thinking too hard about it

Should I read the LN?

>>154228212
Yeah, and chaos would be fucked. But khorne will still be a god. Until he starves anyways.

>>154228245
So a higher-dimensional sarariman is angry about a lower-dimensional sarariman for being an asshole when he laid off a low-ranking same-dimensional sarariman?

It's sararimen all the way up. Like turtles.

>>154228300
I would honestly love it if this turned out to be the case.

>>154228158
there's a difference between "a god" and "god"

"a god" means there are multiple gods, with varying strengths and weaknesses, often they can even be killed and mortals can become gods etc.
it's a spectrum of godliness

"god" is the literal supreme being. no one else is in any way "god"

being X might be "a god", but he is not "god"

>>154228322
Why did you arbitrarily define that if there are multiple gods, that they can be killed by mortals who then become gods?
Why can't they just be multiple immortal and unbeatable omnipotent beings doing their omnipotent things?

>>154228398
Not that guy but he just said "often", not that it is necessarily the case.

>>154228398

Because religion is poison and it's stupidity must be rooted out.

>>154228158
nothing you just said sounds any different from "powerful wizards" at all

and saying Chrisitans have one god is weird considering the amount of bullshit that's going on

there's Michael who has the same powers as YHWH, then there are three dudes who are all one dude to say nothing of the esoteric stuff

basically modern chrsitianity is not the whole of christian mythology and no amount of retcon is going to make that time people worshiped christ's holy vagina go away

The problem with a god in the religious sense is the concept of omnipotence itself.

By its mere definition, omnipotence cannot be contained nor understood within the confines of simple logic. You could say that by logic omnipotence is illogical. And it is in this incomprehensibility which completely contradicts the idea of these higher beings conforming to the qualities and level of sentience of man. They grasp this world and whatever unseen world they can see beyond on a scale we can never truly understand so by running them under the sights of our mortal lenses we essentially strip them down of what they really are.

>>154220954
The issue isn't that Tanya refuses to acknowledge that Sonzai X isn't some nigh-omnipotent being that might as well be God. Rather, she refuses to acknowledge that he is some divine being that deserves to be revered and venerated just because he claims to be God.
Also, the fact that he has to go through so many hoops to try and get someone to have faith in him honestly makes him a pathetically incompetent cunt and thinking of someone such as him being the supreme God-creator of the universe is depressing rather than inspiring.

If Being X had identified itself as Abaddon or some shit none of you wound be calling him a Fedora tipper but rather a good Christian denying Satan.

All Tanya did was utilize Bayesian logic in order to deduce from the situation he found himself in that Being X was not god.

As simple as that.

Being X is no more God than Molecule Man is in Marvel.

It can only seem to be petty because we don't have the whole picture.

Though yeah I believe in a first mover who doesn't really care about us.

>>154222414
that's like saying "Allah" is an Islamic concept
it's just the Arabic word for god, and Christians in Egypt or whatever still call christiangod Allah

Same idea for Kami in nip

If he's God, I think he more than deserves a vacation by fucking with an atheist.

>>154236219
What if it is the Abrahamic God, who itself never claimed that it was all-powerful and all-wise, and the claims were just from its followers?

>>154226533
That's simply you thinking that your view of what a god is the only good one

>>154236219
It's just some Shinto nobody who's desperate for followers

>Rather, she refuses to acknowledge that he is some divine being that deserves to be revered and venerated just because he claims to be God.
Exactly, I dropped it after 3 eps, but iirc she says mitomeru, so it may be something like people who know Trump resides in the white hows, but don't want to acknowledge him.

Depending on definition. Logically (in some situations) it's not a bad idea to attack them to gain upper hand. Ethically, most people agree that it's morally corrupt.

he didn't deny Being X is a god. he denied the Being X is God. infact he insinuated that Being X is infact the Devil. which Being X pretty much is.

But people hating them for doing this will be more numerous than people hating them if they showed some mercy.
Nothing irritates me more than making stupid edgy decisions, because "muh (flawed) logic". It's so rarely that author knows that carrot + stick always works the best.

>>154236219

Maybe he's just playing with an ant because why not?

Tanya would do a better job at being god than Being X could.

Though yeah it can also mean any superior being. Just like God and god (but without the easy G vs g differentiation. Wait until you get deeper into buddhism, the same term can have a bazillion meanings there, that's where shit gets really silly.

There is no contradiction between christianity and nationalism.

>>154236905
The Empire has officially warned the citizens of the town three times, which means that officially, there are no innocent citizens in the town anymore, only partisans, and it has recorded proof that the partisans are executing prisoners.

By the letter of the law, the international community has nothing to condone the Empire for, which is what matters a lot to the Empire, because that means that its enemies cannot justify their invasions into the Empire as trying to stop the Empire from committing war crimes.

Of course, a quick analysis will show that the citizens would have never had enough time anyway to evacuate that quickly, and after the war's over, there will be Hell for it to anyone who ordered the purging of that town.

But it's the now that counts the most, and getting rid of all those partisans and their family members so that they won't harbor feelings of vengeance and become a thorn to the vulnerable underside of the Empire will ensure that the plan of the Republic to make a long drawn-out war will fail.
Nothing is more dangerous than people who have nothing more to lose, and would just want to see you dead, even at the cost of their own life.

Fortunately for the Empire, Tanya lived a former life, and can offer a solution, even if it is dirty and definitely against the spirit of the law.
But then again, it's war, and everyone's going to use every advantage to win it.

>>154236857

Sounds a lot like madoka

>>154237384
>that officially, there are no innocent citizens
Doesn't matter. People will still sympathise with them. Creating martyrs is never a good idea. Best would be to crush their spirits as quick as you can and then awe everyone with your mercy and humanitarianism.

>>154237384
>Of course, a quick analysis will show that the citizens would have never had enough time anyway to evacuate that quickly, and after the war's over, there will be Hell for it to anyone who ordered the purging of that town.
If it's so obvious, enemies can use it against you in propaganda war. Pretty shitty decision.

>>154220954
>not realizing there are in fact people that willfully stupid

Do you even mankind?

>>154237091
Buddhism is just about taking it easy, man.

>>154237445
Madoka is a good example of a god-like existence that isn't a god, just like Being X.

>>154237384
>But it's the now that counts the most, and getting rid of all those partisans and their family members so that they won't harbor feelings of vengeance and become a thorn to the vulnerable underside of the Empire will ensure that the plan of the Republic to make a long drawn-out war will fail.
Except now all their relatives who lived elsewhere will hate Empire and if you just precision bombed a few places you could get them to give up while killing only a few people thus creating almost no future enemies. Hell Tanya seems so OP that dropping amidst them and just giving a few dozen of them non-fatal gunshot wounds would be enough to break such rabble. Are you 18 yo edgy kid who prefers violence to superior solutions or what?

>>154237549
The Empire's diplomats can and will show that they dindu nuffing wrong and totally held up to international war laws. That's what matters.
So the other nations will have to keep making covert operations, send "volunteers" or supply their allies indirectly, instead of officially entering the war fully on their side and just crush the Empire through numerical superiority.

Actually to make a real life comparison, when Germany made their first tank rush against France (I don't remember what specific place, it was very risky mission where they drove the long way through some forest and got away with it, look it up if you want to know) they had the chance to wipe out the brittish, but Hitler choose to let them escape. The very same people later came back as part of the elite forces that led the attack on D-day. Historians are pretty much in agreement that this mercy of Hitler was a very bad decision strategically.

tl:dr
Tanya did the right thing.

Also being X already turned everyone against her, so better just kill as many as possible. There's no risking to create more enemies when you're up against the entire world already.

>>154237569
Depends which sect.

>>154237710
Nah man law doesn't matter all that much, you can also appeal to the basic feelings of your citizens/other countries. Making up excuses is way easier than you think. You don't need a real reason to shape enemy's image.

>>154237384

The old president of Syria used this same method to get rid of the muslim brotherhood in the 70s (or early 80s?). One month artillery bombardment until nothing was left, an entire city erased from the map. It worked wonders, the muslim brotherhood still has no power in Syria, and the international community didn't care.

>>154237709
There's a 50% chance that it will also just demoralize the civilians into giving up from becoming partisans when they learn that the Empire's quite willing to raze entire towns with their inhabitants if it's more convenient for them than to keep a garrison back to control the area.

>>154237745
>part of the elite forces that led the attack on D-day. Historians are pretty much in agreement that this mercy of Hitler was a very bad decision strategically.
Nice bullshit, by this time Germans were already beaten. Even if the troops made a difference on this front, Russians would whittle them down sooner or later. Also not showing mercy would probably inflate allies' ranks with more volunteers than you killed more likely than not.

>>154237091

There is no concept of god in Buddhism. Buddha himself said that the question about the universe and the god is irrelevant in the path to get away from suffering. So in a sense, Buddhism is an atheistic religion. Kinda weird.

>>154237928
Yeah, it leads to a more guerilla based combat where you don't even know who to retaliate against.

Just to be clear, shinto and the teaching of Buddha has a lot of differences.

>>154238014
Not anymore, if they're all dead.
After all, thanks to Tanya, the Empire found a loophole to ensure that its soldiers are allowed to shoot everyone dead, no matter if they're in uniform or not without breaking international laws.
It's really important to keep up the law.

>>154238141
Just to be clear, it was just a digression, because first part of my comment reminded my of how many definitions some Buddhist terms have.

>>154237868
>One month artillery bombardment until nothing was left, an entire city erased from the map. It worked wonders

Damn. Why didn't this happen more? Why didn't Russia just bombed the shit out of Georgia back in the days? Why didn't the Americans flatten the entire Iraq?

>>154238194
>Not anymore, if they're all dead.
1)Kill a few (or none, using Tanya's power and precision) people and make at most a few sworn enemies
2)Obliterate a whole town and make sworn enemies of all relatives of a whole town (and potentially create a powerful guerilla force of unrelated people if public opinion gets manipulated enough)
Choose wisely.

>>154238219

Yeah, I totally get that. Just pointing it out. And in the east, at least the place that is not infested by Abrahamic religions, the concept of god is kinda similar to ancient Rome/Greece's plus they believe in the divinity of sky (Chinese concept). Gods are not omnipotent like the Abrahamic Gods.

>>154238325

Which is why legitimacy of the action is important, and Tanya provided the legitimacy.

>>154226745
You know the reason why he calls him Sonzai X is because the doesn't believe he's either god or the devil

>>154238325
Tanya hates fighting in an urban area full of hiding places for the enemy.

>>154237967

Yeah, you know I'm not so sure. Nazism and fascism is on the rise again, WW2 was a huge propaganda victory, it really made an impression that lasts. The Axis also won the body count. It would have looked even better with those brittish taken down.

>>154238226
Better question yet why no one started nuclear war yet? There must be at least one decent person out there.

>>154238396
Why not go with option 1 though? What do you lose? It only happened because author wanted to show how ruthless she is but couldn't think of a sensible scenario.
