The whole "Space jesus" or "Space Buddah" probably originated from 4dchan like most other silly jokes. But as far as the Emperor having those nicknames go, he actually was Jesus and Buddah during the Age of Terra, however he dropped those personas in favor of newer inspirations to humans, not all of the Emperor's guises were perfect however, since him putting on the disguse of Jesus or Mohammad didn't work out too well, part of the reason why the Emperor decided religion was hindering humanity, instead of helping as he assumed it would.

There's no way the Emperor's leaving the Golden Throne alive and feeling well, his body has been destroyed and he had already Jagahatai Khan and Rogal Dorn that he would never walk among them again. Now, there is a theory that the Emperor, when his body was shattered on the Vengeful Spirit, that his compassionate side that drove him to do best for humanity was cast into the webway or some unknown part of the warp so that when the Emperor's body and mind finally dies completely, this "compassionate" side will form essentially a new Emperor, which will lead humanity to defeat Chaos. An alternative to this would be his authoritarian and essentially darker side, which may become the new god of the warp. Out of all of these, I'd suppose the most likely event to happen is that the Emperor's body dies, and that's just it, it simply dies, mankind is doomed, and well, perhaps not, as it is said the Emperor's death may hold the key to mankind's "salvation".

Nope, I'm not religious, I worship the Dark Muses (hah).I'm actually Atheist.
