Do we, holding that the gods exist, deceive ourselves with insubstantial dreams and lies, while random careless chance and change alone control the world?

It's cute, but it looks like it has a mean streak about it, like a 90'ies glow-in-the-dark squid version of Marvin the Martian. It wants to kill you, but you still want to cuddle it.

That cute little guy is probably thinking, "How tasty" when he sees someone like us.
