I was going to point that out, but I'm pretty sure that Vince only skims paragraphs longer that four lines. I had to cut something, so

Oh, and caveme? If I was a caveman and a bolt of lightning put a tree on fire I would think it was some god or something similar.

Are we sure Vince isn't a character?

Three or four cavemen didn't sit down and make a religion up. Religions evolved over hundreds or thousands of years. For someone who kind of studied religion, you sure don't have much of a grasp around the basic principles.
