Twilight's POV
There was actual steam coming out of the Emperor's ear area.
"Umm, are you alright?" I asked.
The steam vanished.
"Yes. I'm just Absolutely Livid right now." He replied, his eyes bursting into light at the word 'absolutely'.
"Wh-why?" I asked.
"Simple. Your angsty ass princess saw it fit to send her younger sister to the fucking moon just because she might have been having a bad day. Or was on her period. Whichever. Oh, and then, not only does she remove almost all history relating to her sister, she proclaims complete leadership of the entire country. She also makes up a damn children's bedtime story about her sister, and saying of how she's evil and all that bullshit. I mean, it was just a single day. So what if the moon stayed out a little longer? Nothing would change. And now, Celestia is worshipped as a goddess. Fucking Inquisitorial Spam Filters. It's time to make myself known to this shitfest of a country you got here. I want you to record everything I say, then send it to the closest newspaper company you can find. I want this fucking sent all over Equestria by the end of the day. No Inquisitorial Spam Filter will stop my knowledge from getting out." The Emperor ranted. I sighed, pulling out a piece of paper and a quill.
"Hello, ponies of Equestria. My name is The Emperor. I have been living underneath Canterlot mountain since this rock you call a planet was still mostly molten magma. I stopped paying attention to it after the seventeenth millennia after it was born. When I get back, what do I find? A bunch of crazy horses who worship their princess like a god. Religion is not the way to go. I have seen what that crap does to countries. Tears them apart, that's what. Religious Wars turned family against itself, and nearly killed my species. There is no 'god' or 'goddess' in this universe. There is only strange Magic and science. So, go sit down and rethink your life for a day or so." The Emperor spoke. I scribbled each word down, and, nodding to the Emperor, ran off to deliver it.

Emperor POV
"Sigh. Why does every species I come across always have a damn religion. Hell, I leave my own species alone for a couple thousand years, and they became a bunch of asshole religious people who wasted valuable resources on simple luxuries. Or just blowing up the whole planet because it didn't give them it's shiny shit." I stated.
"Wow. What brilliant insight." The pony guard, who stubbornly stuck around, said.
"You're still here? Sigh. I wish I had my Centurion." I groaned.
"I could be your Centurion." He offered.
"I will set you on fire with my mind and take pleasure in watching you burn to ashes." I told him. He backed away quickly.
÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷÷
Meanwhile............
"Uh, my lord, the newspaper." The servant said, hoofing the paper over to his lord.
"What is it now? I'm busy making this asshole go bankrupt for not giving me his shiny shit." The Mare on the massive throne replied, before levitating the paper over with her magic. She quickly read through it, before snarling, the paper bursting into flame.
"This is HERESY!" Fleur-de-lis roared.
It felt like I had written a thousand words..... oh well.
Next Chapter after questions: Tirek? Such an Evil Fucking Name
Also, nothing can replace the Centurion. He was unique. They had a bond. And nopony is gonna replace him. NOPONY

can i haz another cookie?
6517814 have four cookies, since that wasn't my intentional reference. The Emperor must have referenced him in the series. Huh. I've watched TFS before, but that reference slipped my mind
The way this had sounded at the beginning this is long before the latest episode where the CMC get their marks, if so we need them managing to get to him and pestering him on how to get their marks!
good chapter my friend :3
more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! please!!!!!!!!!!!!
6517794 Hey - I don't mean to nag about grammar but at the bottom of the chapter the pony said "Uh, my lord, the newspaper." even though the 'Lord' is a mare - just change it quickly to 'Lady'.
Just in case it might tick of anyone not as levelheaded as me :/ and anyway someone had to bring attention to the little mistakes to make your work be improved (even if just by a little). After All we have to look after each other as a community.
Oh BTW LOVE your work so far; hilarious!
Fleur is the Inquisition? Brilliant? Will she have Fancy Pants sitting next to her making snarky comments?
It smells an awful lot like heresy...
PURGING TIME IS NOW

lolololololololololol this shit is so frikkin funny!!! im dying over here!!!!
And then the Emperor discovers that the people who take advantage of religion for their own gain by twisting it and not letting people read their own religious text (like cults and terrorists) will just do the same in politics if there is no religion. The problem is who you let come to power, not religion itself.
Also, Alfabusa and you made a lore mistake. The Emperor, though atheist, had no problem with religion. But he believed Chaos could easily trick people into worshipping the Dark Gods and make Chaos stronger. Of course, in the end, he had the terrible realization that faith actually harms Chaos.

Huh fluer, I'd smash
Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn! Kill! Maim! Burn!
This isn't Heresy if the emperor wills it
A bunch of weak excuses doesn't discount the existence of a God, if he's gonna be Anti-Religion he could at least have some better arguments
Wait? Wot?
no it is hell
...this is a handy skillset!
