i'm positive we'd still find plenty of reasons to kill each other even if we stopped the whole invisible giant paradigm.
but why do people think it's a belief in THAT invisible giant that's the problem?
as opposed to the problem being that some people are just ass holes? and they'd still be ass holes no matter which invisible giant they believed in?

Well, we can play whatever game you want (to get around the fact that one particular religion believes in killing 1)nonbelievers, and 2)those who want to stop believing,) but I don't believe these people are born ass holes. I believe they are born into an ass-hole religion. If someone seeks this religion out, then they were an ass-hole to begin with. If a woman were to convert to it, they would surely be masochistic.
