Emperor and Heresy Theory

[Memento Of Prospero]

 

 

 

How does it fit in with the Emperor visiting Molech?

It doesn't, that's the problem with the theory. It doesn't fit in the new fluff created by blacklibrary.

As stated in this book the emperor was just a normal human/perpetual with great psychic power and no secret deity/malal.

And it's also hinted throughout the series that the emperor is a "we" which fits with the second edition Psyker mass suicide story that created the being that one day would protect mankind against chaos.

The hole in your argument is that you take the chaos side of the story as a fact. And we all know that Chaos never gives you the actual truth, just what they want you to see to create self fulfilling prophecies.

That is literally the entire background in a nutshell; an event seen through personal bias and interpretation and taken as fact. Look at John Grammiticus who thinks of the Emperor as the power-hungry warlord Chaos claims he his? And that's an observation based on his own experiences.

 

 

Yep, and that is why the setting is open to interpretation and most "reliable" information is just hearsay from one of two parties involved at all times. 

 

As a buddy of mine pointed out though, there is a kernel of truth in having a 5th God. The Occult, as it is the base of daemonology in 40k, relies on the pentragam and it's 5 pillars. We know of 4 Chaos gods. There needs to be a 5th. This is why the idea that godhood is the goal of the Emperor's action is so appealing - it would complete the pantheon.
