That's what I meant by "ecosystem". Clearly, they could not be there just as parasites on human flesh... so what does the rest of the food chain look like? Are there plants? Is there dirt, or is Doc right and they just live right in the lava? Is it based on sulfur-reducing lithotrophs, a la the ocean thermal-vent ecosystems? Inquiring minds want to know!
A Christian told me: if you were saved you cant lose your salvation. you're sealed with the Holy Ghost
I replied: Can I refuse? Because I find the entire concept of vicarious blood sacrifice atonement to be morally abhorrent, the concept of holding flawed creatures permanently accountable for social misbehaviors and thought crimes to be morally abhorrent, and the concept of calling something "free" when it comes with the strings of subjugation and obedience perhaps the most morally abhorrent of all... and that's without even going into the history of justifying genocide, slavery, rape, misogyny, religious intolerance, and suppression of free speech which has been attributed by your own scriptures to your deity. I want a refund. I would burn happily rather than serve the monster you profess to love.
