Then: Christians and Muslims waged wars over lands considered Holy in the name of their Gods. Possible most famous outcome: Vlad Tepes
Now: (Mostly) Christians and (Mostly) Muslims fight over oil and land in the name of... democracy. Gods were busy. Most Famous Outcome: Bill O Rielly.
I assure you, some day, some creative writer will turn Bill into a monster of his own, emulated through the ages.
See Ya George.
