Right. They are acting like they can just summon it like it’s some DnD ritual spell. The Bible literally states otherwise.

Dumbasses. Everyone knows the spell for kickstarting the Apocalypse is found in the Book of Vile Darkness, not Exalted Deeds.

Absolutely. If they actually put some points in Intelligence, they’d know this.

This is what happens when your entire party wants to play paladins.

They are so arrogant that they think they can force God's hand.

What's worse are the rich, out-of-touch fucks who should know better, are so narcissistic and so afraid of death. What they fear about it, is that the world will continue on without them. They'd rather the world end when they end. As far as they're concerned:

  • The world as we know it did not exist prior to their being born into it.
  • The world was made for them and their descendants to enjoy. All others are expendable tokens to spend as they please.
  • If they are mortal, then the world should not continue to exist after their deaths.

Oh, like Peter Thiel and his little plasma addiction and preoccupation with the antichrist ? Like that dude didn't make his deal with the devil. He has as much chance as going to heaven as a camel walking through the eye of a needle. No wonder he is trying to live forever.

Metaphysics notwithstanding, he's narcissistic to the point of believing that he's "one order of magnitude above human". The rest of us? We're the first stage on the rocket. He not only wants to live forever, he wants to live above we mere mortals, free of all our petty needs and desires. This world is his playground, his toy; created for him and other billionaires like him. And if he and they can't have it, then, they've ultimately decided nobody can.
