Ultimately my inspiration if you can call it that, was this thought, that through recent history (Anno Domini Zero until the present,) a staggering amount of suffering and death has been inflicted on humanity in the name of these 5 books. Hundreds of millions of people have died at the hands of those who believe, that as believers they are empowered to act, in their books name. There are certainly other books believers, who have done their fair share of damage but these are the true monsters. I do not think it is a great leap to consider these the original Weapons of Mass Destruction. They have, are and will continue to inflict misery on the vulnerable, the less powerful, in their name.
