They do still exist today, and are definitely in control, working behind the scenes.
And they worship the devil.
Who exactly is this 'they' so many of you people refer to? Some faceless entity of conspiratorial elite that none of you can refer to by name who
shoulders the blame for all that goes wrong with your life...it's starting to sicken me. So many people bemoan their station in life, and are so
willing to blame anyone but themselves for their choices, be it for good or for ill, and the lack of opportunities we've created for ourselves.
And on that note, what is this 'devil' you're referring to? Do you honestly believe that there is some actual horned guy, sitting on a throne of
skulls, in the bowels of some fiery pit somewhere that not only 'collects souls', but cares enough about you to make your life so miserable? Do any
of you have any idea how ludicrous that sounds? Because humans are so special, so important to the grand scheme of the universe, that some cosmic
entity has taken particular interest in if you decide to swipe a piece of candy or sleep with your wife's sister or whatever? You think humans are
so important that if we were to all become extinct tomorrow, that the universe would even bat an eye? Billions of years this universe has done just
fine before us, and it will continue to be so long after the last human has shuddered their final death rattle. We're not alone in the universe, of
that I am convinced, but we're also NOT so important to it's mechanisms that anything we do will matter in the long run. Yes, I seem to have a
nihilistic, Lovecraftian view of the universe, but I'm not afraid, like so many of you, to admit that us, as humans, are just animals, that will all
one day be dead and the universe will go on without us.
