Dualism

Love and Loyalty

Their master gone, the un-men pause, uncertain of what to do… They must among themselves for a moment – and, at least, a decision is reached. For all their existence, they have followed their master blindly – wherever he might lead… And there seems no good reason to change that situation now. #loyalty

[Liz] He’s kept her safely shut away for years. Isn’t that love? She’s terrified of life without him. Isn’t that love? What other kind of love will protect her from this awful world? The love she shares with Dennis is special, will grow into something wonderful. Even shut away from the sunlight. [Narrator] She knows this is true. He told her so himself. But those eyes.

[Gorr] As I stand here now, witnessing with my own eyes the first awkward fumblings of life in the void, I see no weeping god. No tears except those shed by the misshapen creatures around me, minutes old and already begging for death. I see no grand plan at work. No benevolent omnipotence at display. I see only an inbred offspring of the elder gods, treating primordial life as his fleshy plaything. But despite the best efforts of the gods, I know that life will still find a way. Worlds will be blasted into being and creatures will slither from the ooze to evolve and thrive. And ultimately learn to fear and worship the bumbling deities they assume to be their makers. #antitheism
