If the emperor doesn't believe that he's a god...does that make the emperor a heretic?

If the emperor doesn't believe that he's a god...does that make the emperor a heretic?

Nope, a symptom of divine humility.

Technically yes, but I am pretty sure that accusing the Emperor of heresy is heresy in itself, so you better shut the fuck up lizard man.

The emprah is not a man, so he can't be a heretic.

Yeah, but that's the kind of shit you can expect when people are following the instructions in a holy book written by a chaos-tainted traitor.

It makes him a dumbass

Probably, but who's going to call him out on it?

GUYS HERE ME OUT

WHAT IF

THE EMPEROR

IS ACTUALLY

ROWBOAT GIRLYMAN

...

It just makes him a humble god and all the more worthy of worship.

If the Emperor told people not to worship him as a God would worshiping him as a God be heretical?

c

No, he just understands that he's not a god but just a human that has reached his maximum psyker potential.

No, it makes him an apostate. A heretic is someone who practices a deviant branch of your religion, denouncing the divinity of your gods altogether is apostasy.

The Emperor is a time traveling alpha legionaire who was a bad dad on purpose to ensure the heresy happened.

The Emperor can't be a heretic. Calling the Emperor a heretic is heresy, prepare to be purged.

No, it makes everyone BUT the Emperor a heretic

ALL HAIL THE MAN EMPEROR OF MANKIND!

THANKS BE TO THE MAN-EMPEROR OF MANKIND!

The lizard creature's logic is flawless.
Some go execute the Emperor for Heresy.
For the Emperor

MAGNIFICENT HAT MY DEAR FRIEND

The Emperor can't be a heretic. You have to believe in a god (or in yourself if you thought you were a god (which he didn't.) to be a heretic.
The Emperor never wanted to be worshipped. Let alone as a god. He wanted humanity to be inspire by his example and to believe in him being a great leader and the saviour of their race. But he never wanted to be seen as anything even resembling a god.

So anyone who does worship him as god is doing so against the Emperors wishes. So that doesn't make people who worship him heretics. It just makes them fools and will only earn them the scorn of the Emperor. Just look what happened to the Word Bearers.

Hail

Only the true messiah denies his divinity.

Alright! Alright, I AM the Messiah! Now, FUCK OFF!

The Emperor is 100% a man. This isn't even debatable. In fact he's far more human than the Primarchs and the Astartes

>No, he just understands that he's not a god but just a human that has reached his maximum psyker potential.

He is a god, dude. He can literally communicate across space and time with his mind, all while powering a gigantic psychic lighthouse visible halfway across the galaxy with, again, only his mind. He can also solo any one single Chaos God, and the fact that the Chaos Gods know this is why they are so willing to put aside their differences and work together to destroy him.

It's also crucial to understand that worshipping the Emperor will literally bestow the Emperors protection and blessings on you, and can actually banish Daemons in its own right if your faith is strong enough.

He is de facto a god, in every practical sense of the term.
