How long had he believed that? Seven, eight years now?
As long as its people were there to keep his madness going, Rapture would either survive or use the world as kindling for its funeral pyre. Worse, they would follow the next would-be messiah that came along - any of the Sinclairs, Fontaines, or Suchongs who stumbled upon even a scrap of its technology - and defend their mad goals to the death.
Now Lamb and Lutwidge sought to begin the destruction anew.
It had been a lie - a wonderful one, but a lie just the same.
Rapture has to fall sometime.
