Oh garbage. He was simply being human. Massacres in the name of deities
have been going on for as long as people have believed. You have to deal
with this on its own terms: calling on this or that external cause is just
hiding from reality. When you bring up Hitler and Stalin I can bring up the
Crusades and the Inquisition, and point to the origins of Hitler's organised
persecution and massacre of the Jews in the similar actions of misguided
self-proclaimed Christians throughought the middle ages. People will call
on whatever label they feel justified in using when they turn their own
frustrations and hatreds into murder. It's not the label's fault. It's not
some new conspiracy in the name of yet another label. It's just people being
people.

Learn why people act the way they do. It'll be a lot more useful than
trying to turn the legends of illiterate shepherds into a guide for this
or any other Age.
