Ohhh, yes, you are quite right! Even in the apocalypse as found in the Bible, things don't go too well for most people. *sigh*

The way the show has been going, with the angels/demons vs. humans, is almost gnostic in some ways... Incompetent/distant creator who screws things up, angels who can't quite be trusted, demons interested only in having humans in their clutches... Someone might have been at Elaine Pagels :D
