A Quote from The Talos Principle 2

Against Decay

We live in a decaying system, which in turn produces ideologies of decay to justify its existence.

No matter what cultural signifiers they get packaged with, these ideologies come down to the same material result: a future in which for the average person there is less of everything. To paraphrase Mark Fisher, we find it easier to imagine the decline of civilization than to imagine a civilization worth living in.

in the forgiveness of all sins
in the kingdom of god on earth
and even

I will believe with clenched fists
and gritted teeth
and prayers that refuse
to be gentle
