They did not kill for money. They killed for 72 virgins, 28 young boys, fresh water, fresh fruit, and rivers of wine. WWI, WWII, and the killings of Stalin, Hitler, and Mao had little to do with visions of the afterlife. Absolutism began as a political meaning. The blood shed on our earth which was not shed for group hatred of "the people" is relatively negligible--but every life was as important as the birth of solar systems. Absolutists might have more reason to kill but they also have more reason not to kill Absolutists do what they are told to do through the supernatural grapevine--not what seems fair to a rationalist.
