Everyone keeps criticizing the title, so I want to talk about why I love it so much. First of all, I don't think of it as related to Warhammer, since in-lore time is weird and saying "was" when referring to anything in the warp is kind of a slippery slope. It feels more like a declaration of humanity's separation from its greatest form of good, their god. This doesn't adhere to any specific religion or context, just general corruption based on greed. What I love about it isn't that it just implies that we no longer follow what we consider to be good, but that it straight up just doesn't exist anymore. In other words, it's dead. We killed god. But beyond even killing humanity's greatest value, it goes even further by saying that with it's final moments, it grew to despise us, or it always did. Such an idea is so horrific morally and existentially and I wish more stories would run with the idea that humans are the true monsters of the galaxy, one that not even a vengeful god could fix. God is a victim of humanity, and humanity is a victim of itself. Btw I'm 100% agnostic and speaking entirely in fantasy nerd terms, I've seen people in this comment section taking the title seriously.
The title is from the book The first heretic. Its spoken when some girl recounts the events of monarchia saying "When the stars fell, when the seas boiled and the earth burned, my faith didn’t die. That is when I began to believe. God was real, and he hated us.". Basically its saying while the events of monarchia were to stop people believing in the emperor as a god it only made them believe even more while hating him at the same time which lead onto them finding new gods to worship being the chaos gods. while thats the origin i do think that theorizing and breaking down the statement like you've done is a fun and interesting read.
There is a boy, praying to his god. He preached the arrival of a being clouded in gold. Then this being came, and the boy learned, that gold is not the colour of the benevolont nor the sublime. That there was no difference between gods and devils. Builders and wreckers.
""God Was Real, And He Hated Us."Conflict: past with present sence.God is real, it should be, or Fe could not hate us.Also, he hates us because we are ... Kaos.For such is the truth.
*Hear me. Unbelievers Chaos is law chaos is the nature of Humanity and chaos is truth chaos is. Freedom don't listen to the people that follow an corpse of an God and embrace the warmth of chaos and chaos is the road to. True freedom join us or perish*

Yeah Ive been 40k fan since 2015 I've also been learning alot of lore of 'the. Imperium and chaos alot i was. First an imperuim fan then I got bored and then I switched to. Chaos
Emps: Maybe I shouldn't have made my most fanatical sons kneel in the burning remnants of their greatest city, all for the crime of glorifying me. Emps: Nah, fuck em. What is the worst that could happen.
I hate space marines so much. They're responsible for like, MOST things going to shit in the Imperium and their motivations can largely be summarized with "daddy issues" or "I'm just doing what I'm told, I don't ask questions". The vast majority look down on the very humans they're supposed to be fighting for, treat them like bugs while (again, mostly) having little to no personality. They're imo oversaturated and one of the least interesting parts of 40K once you graduate puberty but the ENTIRE setting revolves around a faction that's supposed to be one of the smallest, if not the smallest numerically.
I hate those who command them... Such as the High Lords of Terra, Administratum, some times even the emperor as his decisions seem do be focused on causing what happened. Space marines are a tool, a weapon just like their bolters
@@faessle4067gods in 40k can die, although they technically aren’t even gods, more so ridiculously Powerful beings or concepts or ideas given form. But this is about all I know regarding gods in 40k
“God was real, and he hated us.” I think there’s a misconception of that sentence - In the world or Warhammer 40k It should say “God is real, and he has abandoned us.”
mmmm, norsca are actually hulkish big people, how big a norsca would be after the super space marine process? Norsca there just build diferent, and darn they ball
