Religious leaders rose up, and even more people began to die.
Major wars were fought over misguided beliefs. Certain men killed hundreds, not for survival or power, but stupid faith.
The true Creator, who now stood in the ashes of humanity, was placed in relatively small roles within these false religions, and in some of them he was considered nothing more than a children's fairytale.
People burned and destroyed all they considered unholy, and annihilated other humans, in the name of gods that never existed. This would last for thousands of years.
It was not for the Creator to control these creatures...he had created them with conscience, pride, and above all, freewill. He could only watch in despair as false prophets led men to kill, die, and hate.
Eventually, one man convinced many men to kill more people than could be counted, in the name of religion. Other men rose up and defeated him, and for a while relative peace ensued.
There were wars, but not as terrible as the one preceding them. He began to think his work may survive after all.
...Then all hell broke loose.
