So then there was a guy named Joseph.  He was a regular sort of dude.  But his wife, who was a virgin, <cough>  was made pregnant by God.  And she gave birth to a schizoprenic, and his name was Jesus.   That kind of thing happens all the time, even today.  Some girl gets raped by her father or her uncle till she can't stand it no more, and then runs off with any ole Joe who will take care of her, and gives birth to an inbred lunatic. This is not hard to comprehend.  Or even where we're headed.

So, the kid grows up, and hears voices.  Not just his family and kin shouting at him to watch where he is going, but voices in his head, that no one else can hear.  And by golly, Joe knew he wasn't getting any from Mary, but the kid was born, so it had to be a gift from God, and therefore, that child must be hearing the voice of his father, who art in heaven. 

Jesus got kicked out of places where he lived from time to time, possibly because the voices told him to do things that his neighbors didn't approve of, but the reason hardly matters; the point is that Jesus moved around a lot.  Out East, a guy named Mohammed had written down some rules for living.. called them laws, and the people saw that they were good.  Jesus, saw that they were good too, and started telling everyone he knew that his dad had some cool rules that would be good for everyone.  He may have been schizophrenic, but J.C. was NOT stupid. I mean, Jesus, the guy could walk into a village, proclaim his father had sent him, and get free food,  stoned, whatever.  Some other guys saw how good the scam worked, and started following him around, and claiming to be his devoted followers.

So it became that god didn't necessarily walk among us, but we looked like he saw himself to be.  We were the earthly images of God.  And with that done, he killed his kid, told us all that it was our own fault he had to do that, but that Jesus said we could get gravesites next to his, and be with him when we died, too. 

Since then, an awful lot of schizophrenics have thought they talked to God, but nobody has believed them.

So anyway, since J.C. bit the big one, we've spent most of our time fighting over who had the biggest god, or the best god, or the real god or the fake god.  Not to say that war is the fault of god. Never! Nothing is god's fault, even though god knows everything that will ever happen, and could prevent so much of the bad stuff that rains down on humanity, but never does, we still have no right to judge blame upon our creator.

Nations have risen and crumbled in the name of this god or that god. Whole religions have been absorbed into other religions.  For example, J.C.'s doctrines became absorbed into various pagan beliefs.  The Christian trinity, the top is composed of three pagan gods, which must, of course, all be a portion of the only real god.  Millions of the smartest, fastest, fittest men who have ever been born rushed off to die in the name of god.  Possibly billions.  The very best of humanity.  The inbred kings of europe sent  the smart, mentally fit young men off to die.  The likewise inbred kings of africa, asia, southern europe and everywhere else sent off the hot contenders for the seat of power. 
It's good to be king, after all.
