I've actually always like the alchemical notion that God is purifying mankind to perfection, and occasionally steps in to add a pinch of brimstone or a dram of mercury or something, trying to change us from lead into gold. Right now were just in a calcining step or something. :/
Of course, that's a very Western view of things, that mankind in by nature evil and needs outside help to become good. Eastern teachings are the exact reverse, that mankind is born pure and the outside world corrupts us and brings us down. And HK-47 teaches us that we are all organic meatbags.
