My child, you have come to me my son. For who now is your father if it is not me? I am the well spring, from which you flow. When I am gone, you will have never been. What would your world be, without me? My son.

Get down on your fucking knees and pray for the mercy and sweet salvation of Thulsa Doom! You undeserving peasants are fortunate enough to be graced with his words let alone to enjoy his mercy. What have you done to be privileged enough to be considered as one of Thulsa Doom's children? Nothing.
Only Thulsa Doom can give you a purpose in this life. Only Thulsa Doom can give you meaning to your every breath. Without His existence you'd be like a slug: A useless life with no real meaning.
Infidel Defilers. They shall all drown in lakes of blood.
-Thulsa Doom
You deserve damnation. You deserve pain. Still Thulsa Doom may grace you and bring you into the light of lights and show you the way. Be joyous if he does but if he doesn't do not act like you deserve better. Your mortal life is as useless as dog shit to Thulsa Doom and you know this is the truth of life and of nature.
this is the guy who runs 4chan, or...?
Gold farming is a lot older than that. All the gold currently in the earth was buried there 6000 years ago by a massive flood. In fact, many of todays biggest-producing gold mines were once trendy "pharm" nightclubs, fully of debauchery and bling (natch), and surprisingly well attended despite the poor weather.
