DD sidles up to the machine and its operator, keeping an eye out to make sure Long Fur isn't around. "Hey. Gave you a pet a bit ago, heard you talking about your god. Don't know how to really ask this, but..."

"Why do the gods hate bugs? I don't have anything against them."

"You know, it's polite to give someone a heads up before asking them a religious question."

"Especially, as I learned recently, while I was knocked out, apparently the entire universe decided to agree that the gods are evil!"

"So excuse me if I'm not interested in talking about religion with someone I don't know. I'm the minority now, believing in "evil gods.""

"Alright, that's fair, sorry. But can you at least tell me... did they always hate bugs? Back in your time."

"The """""Limbo Gods"""""" as you call them are a complex subject matter with multi-faceted existence, including the issue that not everyone agrees with everyone about what the gods believe."

"This isn't a simple straight forward thing. I don't know what you believe in, I can only tell you what I believe in."

"And the best way to learn if a god hates bugs is to get under this machine."

"But now that we're over the "I can't answer this for you, you have to ask god" I'll now simplify this by answering what I believe."

"I believe that bugs have rejected the gods, and thus the gods have less hold on what they do. I believe that the gods do not care about bugs, in respect for the choices bugs have made, but that bugs have taken the accidental stepping on their existence as hostility."

"Apparently Limbo believers believe that the gods are perfect beings and that all their actions are preplanned and thus, for bugs their actions are always hostile. I do not believe that gods are perfect beings, and thus many of what limbo believers take as hostility is incidental."

"Why do you ask?"

"Well I don't believe that stuff. Didn't really think much about gods, until now. I just..."

"Then why ask about the gods if you don't believe?"

"...felt bad that someone might hate me. Just for being a bug."

"Then you speak with that person personally. It's rude to go around asking the religious about their faith over issues you have with a person."

"If someone of faith, has an issue with you, then you have an issue with that person, not of the faith."

"Yes. Think it did help, talking to you. Thank you. I'll go now."

"If your friend has converted and has tossed you out of your life due to their conversion, maybe that speaks more about your friend then it does the religion."

DD leaves, resolved to try and beat the shit out of Long Fur once more.
