I'm not picking up on the metaphor now.
I generally seem to need these things spelled out to me, though.

Basically, one of the things fundies believe is that without God, mankind would just be vicious animals doing horrible things to each other all the time.
And Joyce is expecting this to happen on the floor, because the authority figure that everyone feared is now gone.

“All right,” said Susan. “I’m not stupid. You’re saying humans need... fantasies to make life bearable.”
REALLY? AS IF IT WAS SOME KIND OF PINK PILL? NO. HUMANS NEED FANTASY TO BE HUMAN. TO BE THE PLACE WHERE THE FALLING ANGEL MEETS THE RISING APE.
“Tooth fairies? Hogfathers? Little—”
YES. AS PRACTICE. YOU HAVE TO START OUT LEARNING TO BELIEVE THE LITTLE LIES.
“So we can believe the big ones?”
YES. JUSTICE. MERCY. DUTY. THAT SORT OF THING.
“They’re not the same at all!”
YOU THINK SO? THEN TAKE THE UNIVERSE AND GRIND IT DOWN TO THE FINEST POWDER AND SIEVE IT THROUGH THE FINEST SIEVE AND THEN SHOW ME ONE ATOM OF JUSTICE, ONE MOLECULE OF MERCY. AND YET—Death waved a hand. AND YET YOU ACT AS IF THERE IS SOME IDEAL ORDER IN THE WORLD, AS IF THERE IS SOME...SOME RIGHTNESS IN THE UNIVERSE BY WHICH IT MAY BE JUDGED.
“Yes, but people have got to believe that, or what’s the point—”
Girl genius has a rather odd tone in these last two updates. In which Agatha, having capped a fleeing Geistdamen in the back, is calming talking with Martellius and Voltaire, rather than freaking out about everything.
So either she's high on the Heterodyne crazy or acting like an adult and a leader.
By the way, how do you do that face-in-hands smiley? I can't remember how to do it, and whatever I'm trying doesn't work. Or does that code just not work anymore?

I don't think she shot the Geisterdamen, it looked like that was the quote-unquote queen of the dawn.

MY POINT EXACTLY.
Yeah, but Death in Discworld there was making a neat point from the POV of someone completely alien to human understanding.

Aww, it's not even out yet. They're teasing us with unavailable games.
I guess the takeaway is that Pixar should have had more robots in Brave.
Fun fact: you can do this for things like the offices of senators. Chuck Grassley is one star. Marco Rubio is at 2.2 stars with reviews like "Rubio is a gutless, spineless piece of trash" and "Not helpful at all and staff look and are lost." Pointless but another way of showing displeasure.

I thought the floor had an RA that was a drunk in a closeted relationship with of the students on the floor.
If there is a god metaphor there, it's probably Dionysus or one of his asshole sons.

Strong Female Protagonist isn't done yet.
The whole thing reminds me of Death's 'show me one atom of Justice' speech in Hogfather:

So, is the future of the arcade displayed here stuck back in the past now, or is it still yet to come?
