People still went to church, however it was a general understanding amongst the populace that science could and would explain it all. They even sought horror in their games and entertainment. As if bad wasn’t real and could be switched off and on at will.
“I don’t know, I don’t care. My life hurts.” Lysander walked to the bed and fell on it.
“He’s not Death Aidan, just Satan. He has no control over death and life.
He existed, that was enough.
“Oh God.” Lysander said to herself. “Where?” Lucifer was leaning against the doorjamb. “No, not like ‘oh, God’.” “Ah. I was hoping not to see him anytime soon. I owe him fifty dollars.” Lucifer relaxed

This surprised Lysander as he had never hugged her before, nor did he seem to be in the hugging mood today, and she had never been that close to him. He smelled of some odd spice and smoke, it was not at all unpleasant.
I gave them creation, I gave them life, and look what they do with it! They throw it away as if it means nothing.
“So you’re not mad at me for that whole kidnapping thing, right?” Lucifer finally dared to ask. “Not really. I’m flattered actually. I mean I was a little ticked off for a while but what good will that do me. Plus, you are a pretty good kisser.” She smiled at him as she poured boiling water into the teapot.
