Oh yeah. "Holy Wars"......a whole lot of people killing each other because someone said God thought it was a good idea. And as for the Catholic/ Protestant rumble, I fail to see how murdering each other and thereby committing numerous unforgiveable sins is gonna put you in favor with your respective Gods.
But hey, that's just me.
And this new evidence won't change a Goddamn thing, people believe in Gods because they want to, or have been brainwashed from birth. Yes, I said brainwashed. Because certain "religions" (aka: cults) like to add new commandments such as:
"Thou shalt make monetary tribute to the church elders, for they desire a new Mercedes."
"Thou shalt not question where thy money goes, those who do shall receive the holy gift of cement footwear"
"Thou shalt have thy independant thought beaten out of thee with a sock full of quarters"
To name just a few.
