I feel you man. OpenSSL is like a guardian angel who's invisible to a person. The guardian angel has been helping the person all the time even though he/she doesn't know it. Then the time came that the guardian angel made a little unintentional mistake that led to large consequences. The person then starts blaming the guardian angel, forgetting all the good things the angel has done for him/her.
Huh? How about 'culture'? The image of an angel is part of the lore of many cultures, and one does not have to associate it with religion exclusively, imho.
