For the second part of your reply , what on earth does "garnering the favours" mean? We seem to be further away, not closer to an explanation.

Imagine God is Mike Tyson. Lets say Mike Tyson is going through one of his delusional episodes and he has "blessed" me. That means everytime someone irritates me Mike Tyson punches their face into a mushy pulp then bites their ear off. He also promises not to push my mother down the stairs or inflict any other nasty surprises on me. I'm his homeboy, his dawg, I'm down with him like a motherfuckin' g just as long as I keep praising him, bigging him up and standing behind him in a nike hoody saying "Yeah!" when hes threatening someone who hasn't shown him the proper respect.
The principle is essentially the same.
Hmmmm . . . . maybe that explains WW2. Hitler, as a lifelong catholic must have received a "blessing" many times. So the blitzkrieg may have been God in Mike Tyson mode. Everything is becoming clearer . . . . .
Religion is regarded by the common people as true, by the wise as false, and by the rulers as useful. — Edward Gibbon
