[Warhammer 40k] Would humanity be better off letting the Emperor die?
Post Body

I know, I know. Heresy. I also understand that the loss of the Astronomicon would be devastating HOWEVER

If the Emperor is one of the Perpetuals then when finally being allowed to die wouldn't he be reborn and now that he is no longer half-dead confined to the Golden Throne thus be able to personally lead the Imperium and usher in a new golden age (only this time he has probably learned his lesson about Horus...)

20 years of darkness seems a small price to pay for the Emperor reborn...

I just feel like the dramatic irony of the setting is such that by worshipping him and elevating him to the status of God-Emperor humanity is dooming itself by not allowing the proper cycle to continue and this is the root cause of the grim dark perpetual war and death that is plaguing humanity in the 41st millennia

dramatic irony

That is meant to be the theme, yes.

Next question.
