Machina was used 1,000 years ago, it was used to keep people from having to work. All the people would go to blitzball games and party and let the machina do all the work. The teachings of Yevon found this wrong and they state that machina was the reason for sin coming. Machina is now used only by the Al Bed. The Al Bed betrayed the teachings of Yevon there for they are traitors, but the Maestors of Yevon keep things secret and machina is even used in the Temple of
Bevelle.
