I'm not sure I have the stomach for more horrific shit than is currently going on, but I'll keep it in mind. I do so love baiting the True Believers when I get the chance.

Oh yes... and then he sends the bits out to different groups to incite a war, which results in the massacre of whole tribes, and not one but TWO mass rapes. Of which, gawd apparently approves.

Maybe. But he looks like inbred white trash to me. He's the Techno Viking from the wrong side of the fjord.
