Universe 25

Important differences such as humans have much greater understanding of their mortality and vulnerability even in good times.

Luciferian religion holds that knowledge of good and evil is enlightenment and so being sadistic psychopaths and providing "necessary" horrors is good.

Imagine a regime where humanity is allowed to experience all the possible good, except for one day a month on average. On random days each person is attacked and their legs are injected with a harmless substance that causes extreme pain and are hobbled. They are placed in pitch black buildings, fed too-little harmless foul tasting food and drink...

We don't have to worry about that. We have ZioJesuits and fake-yoos and their Luciferian stooges to provide our distress.
