Tell me about the Sheevites
How many people follow the Sheevite organization? I know Sinious and Azronger are the two prominent ones here. What about on Comicvine?
Is Azronger really the official leader of the Sheevites?
Why do the Sheevites exist? What is their mission? What motivates the individual to pursue this mission? What is the end goal and why? Why Sheev Palpatine in particular?
In other words, if Sheevites were Mormon missionaries, what would I expect to hear after answering the door?

On KMC, Lightsnake, Tempest, ShootingNova/SunRazer (also on CV), ILS (also on CV), Ellimist, Beniboybling, Sidious66, MythLord/WollfMyth (also on CV) and Sinious are the most prominent Sheevites, although many have retired now.
On CV, there's Silver, ShootingNova/SunRazer (also on KMC), ILS (also on KMC), Zapan, LotL, GreySentinel, MythLord/WollfMyth (also on KMC) among others. I have also several apprentices that have directly pledged their loyalty to me and His Imperial Majesty, in addition to the majority of the forum being dominated by a pro-Sheev sentiment even among those who aren't official members.
Publius must also be mentioned, although I don't think he was ever on either CV or KMC.
Is Azronger really the official leader of the Sheevites?
Yes, I am the official leader now. No point in questioning it since Tempest gave me the title and appointed me his successor himself. I've posted the quotes before, but ask him yourself if you don't believe me.

We exist to spread the love of Sheev to the hearts of every person on the interwebz, and to exorcise the taint of Vitidiocy from the churchyard. Individual motives may vary - mine is simply devotion to all things holy and sacred as embodied in His Imperial Majesty.
As to why we worship Sheev as the idol of unmarred beauty, perfection, and a higher ideal? I don't see the point of such a ridiculous question. It's like asking a Christian why they choose God, or an atheist why they adhere to science. Some things are simply fundamental truths, and in our eyes, Sheev's paramountcy is one of them.
In other words, if Sheevites were Mormon missionaries, what would I expect to hear after answering the door?
Proselytism and adulation of His Imperial Majesty.
That's canon. I think legends Sheev is more supremely powerful and more likeable, though canon's not all bad with Lords of the Sith, Rebels, the Tarkin book, and the Thrawn book and comics. I still like Sheev more than Snoke. Much more. And all the back and forth on KMC lately has convinced me he's closer to Snoke's power than I originally thought.
The only reason I chose to make an account on KMC instead of like...the Starwarscantina.net was because of all the pro-sheev sentiment.

Make an account on CV - the pro-Sheev sentiment is unreal. I even have a Sheevite academy there where I train multiple apprentices in the ways of Sheevism.
I can guide you on the right path if you're willing to follow it.
Sheev is such a boring character. He's somehow supreme at everything as has no weaknesses. His backstory is sort of weak too. Evil simply for evil's sake. He has no plans for the galaxy and never strived to push humanity forward.
What Sheev never understood was that true power comes with the approval of the masses--and that the strongest economy can only exist when people are creative--which means they can't be under a rule of fear. The most advanced economies are based on the commodification of ideas, not manufacturing.

You don't seem like a bad person, so I'm sorry to say that this only means that you're not biased, but just really really stupid.
Thanks?...I guess?
I mean, stupidity can be corrected, it can be educated away. malignancy and bias can't.

I'm scared...
but I guess there's only one way to go.

The Sheevites are like Yahwe's Eye Witnesses.

So is that a yes?
Yeah. I'll make an account on comicvine when I have time. I guess you look foward to starting my training?
Though before we start I'd just like to say that I do have higher priorities, such as the feelings I hold for Sheev in the current moment, so I may pledge myself to your teachings, but I don't see myself fully commiting.

How the hell can you increase someone's intelligence with education, but be incapable of ridding them of their bias? Seriously, how does that work in your mind?
My original response was going to be "I meant like the inherent bias someone might have as a person rather than the specific bias one might have for a character" but tbh I was just trying to make your comment sound positive for the purposes of my response.
But really though, I don't think my positions are all that stupid. I have a different process of thinking, and maybe I'm wrong, in fact, considering how many people think so, I'm probably wrong, but not completely unreasonable. Many people agree, and that includes Serkis. That's not proof, but it shows that my argument is at least defendable.
