Chaos is the stranger with the candy and the creepy van of toys. Just resist and you'll live happily the rest of your miserably short life. Do it and its going to end a lot quicker.<br/><br/>And the State is NOT the Church. There is a point in Imperium history that the Church DID control the government and that was very bad indeed. I'll have to dig through my novels but that's when the munitorum split from the Ecclesiarchy. This was because they wanted to have powers separate and the church not to have the ability to control the Imperial Guard and the Marines etc. The Church has a strong influence on the Imperium as a whole and does govern some planets but it is not the ruling body. That is the munitorum.
