NO need to invent new gods, just change the old ones to fit our biases.  Take Jesus for example: If everyone were to live by the teachings of Jesus, we'd have peace and prosperity unprecedented in human history.  But, living according to that philosophy is very difficult, so we need to change his teachings to something more palatable. 


Gays, for example, are an abomination despite what Jesus said, which is really not much.  Therefore, Christians can't accept homosexuality. 


And if we're to go and kill people in foreign lands, we first must make up words that mean they aren't fully human. How else can Christians go and kill people?  Onward, Christian soldiers!


and loving your neighbor is all fine and dandy so long as your neighbor is a fellow Christian.


No need to make up new gods. The old ones will tell us what we want to hear.
