So what was Father, in the end? Was he Hoenheim's sins, combined? Was he the persification of the knowledge behind the gate? Was he just a little shit that was never happy with what he had?

it's a show for 12 year olds, don't think too much about it.

a fart

I'm going with Hohenheim and humanity's sins. Truth(god) punished humans by releasing that little shit on the world. Taking Father away when a human had finally learned the lesson.

Truth isn't one person.

Al>Ritsu tho

a piece of knowledge (God).
Not being attached to the whole of that Cthullu shit behind the door, makes him an individual in its own accord.

probably something brought through the gate from the other side.

Now you're just baiting

I wonder why Truth was so eager to punish anyone that transgressed. Only Alchemists ever had the potential to see him, so was Alchemy just a humans playing god with the natural forces of the universe, and was punished if they ever tried to do more than follow the laws of equivalent exchange?

But even as alchemists that opened a portal was punished for their arrogance, they also saw the truth of alchemy and learned something along the way(like Clapchemy), which is kind of weird for a punishment. What gives?

I already gave the answer: because Truth isn't one entity. Truth is a part of the person who sees it. The punishment from performing human transmutation is self-inflicted. Human transmutation is always performed from a position of bad faith; the alchemist never truly believes what they are sacrificing is a "fair" exchange for what they are trying to get.

What kind of question is this? He was a creation with an opinion based on being around.

you would think that to be the case if you completely ignore that one time several people were forced into performing a human transmutation against their will, and I'm pretty damn sure at that point that every party member involved was aware that what they were transmuting was definitely not a fair trade at all

But how does this self-inflicted(albeit subconscious) punishment lead to seeing the full-extent of alchemical knowledge of the universe? Clearly doing so makes you tap into the earth(knwoledge/god) for a brief moment, but I still don't see why that is. It's like a punishment and a reward at the same time, even if it is self-inflicted.

Luciferian equivalent
the truth is more like old testament god

Because they get stuck in a loop of "I don't have enough power/knowledge to succeed at this, therefore I wish for more" until they hit their limit, since what they are attempting is impossible.

he was a shitty villain in an overrated series with an unsurprisingly unrewarding final battle.

"One is all. All is one."

You're forgetting that connection. You aren't just "one," you are also "all," literally every other living thing. The sin of human transmutation isn't just against yourself -- it's against every other living thing as well. Being witness to that knowledge is like being torn apart most likely because you are being torn apart.

Yes, yes, here is your ((you)), go away child, go back to watching Shinji jerk to an unconscious body again. The adults are talking.

stop responding to bait and stop trying to start flamewars

he was god
