Billionaire industrialist David H. Koch, who with his older brother Charles was both celebrated and demonized for transforming American politics by pouring their riches into conservative causes, died Friday at 79.

The cause of death was not disclosed, but Koch Industries said Koch, who lived in New York City, had contended for years with various illnesses, including prostate cancer.

    Because if you do the research you'll find out he's just one of the ancient-Near-Eastern pantheon, that Judaism has been essentially reworked Zoroastrianism since the Exile, and that if this Yahweh character actually exists, by definition he *can't* be God since he doesn't posses the properties a being *must* possess in order to *be* God.
