RE: Science Increasingly Makes the Case for God
Even if a Creator/"God" exists, he has absolutely nothing to do with our stupid religions on this planet.

I would have to agree that religions, as a genre, are a major impediment to finding Truth.
Jesus didn't come to establish a religion. He game to inaugurate His kingdom.
Context, context, context. The torah is the first book that prohibit human sacrifice in human history. The meaning of that passage AND IT'S CONTEXT is that if you do not follow God's law, God will make your life suck so much, you'll be so poor and at siege that the only way to live is by eating your children. (or starve) I also support @brich comment.
Leviticus 26:29 is a prophesy that was fulfilled due to extreme hunger during the famines at the siege of Samaria by the Syrians (Deuteronomy 28:53-57) and also at the siege of Jerusalem by the Chaldæans (2Kings 6:28-29).

The Bible was written, edited and compiled long after these events occurred, though. That makes these prophesies very easy to fake.
For example, I could say that in 1998, I predicted that in September 2001, two planes would crash into the World Trade Center towers. Amazing! How did I know that would happen?
