Every time man creates a new religion, the universe creates a new reality.

And every time man creates a new scientific theory, the universe creates a new reality.

This is the problem with a multi-threaded universe.

But I still think that religion is primarily a means by which the few at the top can control the masses crawling through the mud at their feet. And god, any god, is an adult version of Santa Claus.
