Maybe it's some kind of paranoia of the unknown.The apparently evil aztec
gods which used to demand blood-sacrifice as well as the other weird and
painful religious practices the mayans and aztecs did.As for the UB I think
that's the classic role model of the good samaritan which in reality is the
bad guy.The world of SR often uses this kind of role model.If you noticed
there are very few "good guys" around.
