        I’d make it purgatory-style, where you’re stomped and ripped apart by farm animals you’ve eaten, and only then you get to heaven, have a cuppa tea with them and laugh about it.

          I had this same conversation in the middle of nowhere with a farmer. And for just a moment, a hint of a second this massive bloke quietly said “do you really believe all those animals would be up there?” I doubt I changed his mind overall but maybe gave him pause for thought.

              Google something about crusades and other religious wars, should be enough

                A quick search gives 7% for the proportion of religious wars of all wars, which makes the claim that religious wars killed the most people unlikely.

                I hate religion as much as the next guy, but you don’t have to make shit up.

            • I dont got one but most wars have been religiouse in nature but ur right ww1/2 might skew that a little simply due to larger populations being sacrified. But then again there has been thousands of years of religiouse wars throughout history someone shoudl do the analysis i recon it would be close.

            Religion itself is much older then the abrahamic branches.

            I am not sure if the romans or christians would even exist by means of the butterfly fly effect.

            Of course, i am just dreaming about a hypothetical scenario but things like murder and theft were recognized as wrong very early on in the human timeline but genocide the neighbour clan and rape where not.

              Murder and theft were always recognized as wrong when the people were doing it to each other - rulers always had different rules for what they are allowed to do, and preferred to promote the religions that solidified these privileges.

            Exactly. Religions that survive and get promoted are the ones that can thrive in the society they are living in, and that generally requires fitting into the political world of that society.

            Religions that criticize the powers that be either overthrow them then become complicit with the new leaders over time, or they get marginalized. Priests had to deal with kings, one way or another.
