I believe your god is a tyrant.
And so - devout worshipper that you are - you will do anything for "the good" of your victims.
How can anyone possibly object?
In your wisdom - which is certainly NOT "the wisdom to the world" (just as Donald Trump's is NOT) - you are saving souls from eternal damnation.
In the end, I believe that no one's soul will be lost.
I believe that salvation was once, for all.
I also believe that those who are persuaded otherwise (are clearly welcome to their self-chosen beliefs), but I also believe they are fundamentally cruel people, in league with a tyrant, pretending to be do-good liberators, when, often as not, they are oppressors --- oppressors who hide behind God's mantle which - in a rocket burst of extraordinarily subtle self-apotheosis - they seize for their pontificating selves.
(Please don't miss my Chesterton link below.)
May be an image of text that says 'DIAGNOSTIC AND STATISTICAL MANUAL OF MENTAL DISORDERS FIFTH EDITION DSM-5 tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. -C.S. Lewis AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION'
