In the beginning there was the world and the innocent creatures, and each creature had it's place and took only that which it needed and the world lived in harmony.

Then there came a time when one of the creatures rose up above all the other creatures and thought itself superior to it's brother and sister animals and to it's mother the earth. And the creatures called themselves Hu-men and thought that they were not in fact animals at all.

This creature aroused the interest of the ancient gods Greed, Hatred and Power who had been sleeping for eons, waiting for servants to worship them. And Greed seduced the Hu-Men and told them to go forth, multiply, and drive from the land any animal who did not accept their domination.

And Greed commanded Hu-Man to obey only Him, and not to listen to any of the other Gods, especially not to Love, Tolerance and Compassion.

And Greed commanded Hu-Man to live in service to Him and his Servant, Profit.

And in the name of the Profit the land was torn asunder. Many creatures were hunted to extinction for fur or tusk.. Vast forests were smashed and rent to tatters.

And the Profit saw that the word of Greed was spread to every corner of the world until every family of the Hu-Man was in subjugation to Him..

And so the Garden of Eden was turned into a slagheap. The skies were fouled and blackened, the rivers and oceans sickened with the filth produced in the name of the Profit.

Mighty armies clashed in the name of Power and Hate and countless millions were torn asunder by ever more terrible engines of war produced by the Profit.

Great balances began to tip awry. Mother Earth and her sister Nature began to send warnings. Drought, famine and mighty floods began to plague the land. Strange diseases laid waste the cities.

And everywhere upon the world was the mark of the Hu-Man in the name of Greed and the Profit.

And so there came a time when the Earth was poised to become Hell eternal, a blackened poisoned mudball in space where the last creatures struggled and fought for the little that was left.

And the time is now…
