Big hairy deal.

How many millions of people have died?  Everyone who isn't still 
living--that's how many.

And how painful were those deaths?  Well think of someone dying
of lung cancer--unable to draw a painless breath for *months*.
Read an account of some of the tortures your religion practiced
during the Inquisition.

And you think your god is so great to go through one moderately
quick, simple death?

Once again, big hairy deal.
