text: Man created Gods out of his own image. What surprised man: the Gods retained those images, refining them into truly perfect human shapes. These benevolent beings first arose like dreams from the minds of men they were met by fear and awe by their creator children. Mankind quickly realized they were truly Gods, moreso they existed solely to love and protect their foolish babes lost in the universal wood; alone and starved for attention. The Gods quickly showed their love and mercy for man, raising them to new heights of intelligence and health and happiness. Their every need attended to, they turned their undivided attention to furthering their knowledge, exploring themselves and the universe, reconstructing their limits of creativity and pleasures; they were free to live instead of running the treadmill of survival until their wills turned to dust and blew away. The Gods, for their part, spent enormous amounts of logical exercise in determining how best to improve every aspect of their children's lives, extending them significantly. In return, the Gods felt peace and satisfaction from their altruistic parenting skills. Mankind and The Gods existed together in peace for the following millennia, spreading outward from the Milky Way and spreading their love and compassion like dandelion chaff in the Terran winds as their journey progressed outward from their first home in an ever-expanding sphere, spreading through the universe like a sweet idea. Then the Gods and their Children encountered Evil and were forever changed forever after.
