Imagine if you will, the common clich of an explorer discovering a lost tribe which produces fire by rubbing two sticks together or generating flint-produced sparks. Civilized man's reaction to a race of beings for whom walking on water requires little effort is equally primitive. Always remember that daemons are merely a manifestation of the future of our race. In this fashion we shall create Gods in Our Own Image, for we are the Creators, and we are the Created. Ducks give birth to ducklings.
Evolution occurs, growth occurs and the cycle continues.
Humans will eventually evolve to a plane of consciousness where this process is recognized and understood. When this happens, religion as we know it will die because faith succumbs to direct apprehension. Generational Satanists have criticized Lord Egan for bringing this discussion to the table since any mention of daemons is bound to spark a new round of speculation and debate concerning deity worship. The world's next messiah could spring from a combination of genes on a petri dish in a laboratory or some form of artificial intelligence. Egan's purpose is merely to acknowledge the existence of life forms which comprise the All and to declare their role as no more, no less significant than our own.
