"Bad Lands" is a word in ENGLISH
Barren regions, especially in the western United States,
where horizontal strata (Tertiary deposits) have been often eroded into
fantastic forms, and much intersected by caons, and where lack of wood,
water, and forage increases the difficulty of traversing the country,
whence the name, first given by the Canadian French, Mauvaises Terres
(bad lands).
And no wonder; for the new technique of "subliminal projection," as it was called, was intimately associated with mass entertainment, and in the life of civilized human beings massed entertainment now plays a part comparable to that played in the Middle Ages be religion.

So I figured that God is very busy and must've forgotten about me, and I don't want to remind Him!"
