That's the point. If they had used logic instead, maybe they would not
have done all that killing.

>Motives? Only two? lust/power???

Those are the biggies ("greed and lust for power" ), but, of course, there
are plenty of others, NONE of them involving religious piety. People who
actually LIVE in accordance with their religious tenets use them as a brake
on their desires, not an excuse to act upon them.

>Who's "they".

YOU brought it up, so I assumed YOU knew who was doing all the killing in
the name of religion.

In any case, this HAS been very much off-topic for a long time. If you
would like to go on, I would be happy to continue off-list.
