Totally agree with you Mega. As I have said several times, I cannot understand why anyone who has any comprehension of 40 lore, or has read any number of HH books, could come to the conclusion that the Emperor gained his powers from the Chaos Gods. It would make no sense and simply has not happened.

I don't even get why there is a debate whether people have read Vengeful Spirit or not. The quotes used are from Horus, who, like you quite rightly pointed out, is completly corrupted by Chaos by the time he reaches Molech. So the chaos gods will have him believe anything that furthers their goals, the enslavement of mankind and the destruction of the Emperor. The whole point of the HH is how even Horus can be 'played' and manipulated by the chaos Gods. Its only in the moments before his death that he realises this.

Like in his 'vision' where he sees the Emperor being venerated as a god which was twisted by the chaos gods as he didn't realise until it was too late that the vision he had was of what the HH would bring about, not what the Emperor wanted, as the chaos Gods told him.
