I wish bloodthirsty gods would remain quiescent and in our past.

@Donotbelieve, @Druvius That bit about the lack of domesticated meat is interesting.
@Donotbelieve For some reason, the system keeps erasing my thumbs up to this comment 
I, especially, say "ick" because I would likely have been one of the poor saps expected to clean up afterwards.
@Donotbelieve He'd better at least be tolerant if he wants me to clean the temple floors 
That's the only reason I'd believe in god, so I could go visit MesoAmerican civilizations in my afterlife
