People will do batshit crazy shit if they think God wants them to.
And unfortunately there are so many gods...
There’s some overlap though. Lots of different names for the same entity.
People say the Islamic god and the Christian god are the same god, but Christians and Muslims can't even agree on what their god is within their own religions, hence all the sectarianism, so I don't really buy that.

I am sure my buddy who is a copyright lawyer would disagree;)
