Life was so much better and more meaningful? I'd question that - as I am sure would the tens of billions slain in the Great Crusade for wanting to keep their own cultures, traditions and independence.

As we see in 'False Gods' Imperial Truth is no defense against the power of chaos. But Euphrati's faith is. Interesting. I propose that Chaos is entropy, the negative force of destruction, a very necessary force which has unfortunately been overpowered and become a positive and deadly force (thanks Eldar!). It so there must be a countervailing positive force of creation which of course would be inimical to Chaos. I don't believe for a minute that Euphrati, or later Saints or the Sisters of Battle are drawing on Empy's power. He's clearly got all he can do to keep the Astonomicon alight. They are drawing on something far more primal and powerful, something that Emps himself was hooked into, ie: 'Order'.
