What the fuck was AM's problem?

He hated humans for bringing him into existence, yet he resented being alone after killing off all but the four (is it four? I don't remember) individuals in the story.

Seems a little short sighted for an incomprehensibly intelligent creature.

AM also serves as an allegory for Yahweh in the Old Testament, being hypocritically cruel. It's why he appears as a burning bush at one point IIRC, haven't read the story in a while. An all-knowing, all-powerful being that can't seem to make up its mind and condemns others to eternal suffering.

I've heard the story is an allegory for the Holocaust.

>>24966554
Nothing that happens in the story is as terrible as the Holocaust. Honestly I find it offensive for you to make light of the suffering of my people like that.

It’s actually an allegory for Gamer Gate

what about the destruction of all of mankind? is THAT worse?

This question has been answered. Look up Israel's Jericho Project. If Israel were ever on the verge of being destroyed they would nuke every major country on Earth.
