"...joke"

Satan allowed us to make this civilization.

He was feeling generous in a demonic way that afternoon. So we eventually sent our robots to see that the whole Solar System, and by extension the whole fucking universe is an airless lifeless pile of rocks, and dust. This was Satan's practical joke on us.

He told Adam, "Sure I'll let you build great towers, and go to the stars. Yeah it's swell out there,...keep dreaming it, and you'll make it." ...Well we did.

Satan laughs.
