Funny you should mention that. Most religious stories actually read to me like a being justifying to itself the fact that it's going to be extremely cruel to a nonstop stream of its hapless creations. Like the consciousness rationalising the subconscious.
It's all very easy when you blame the victim, Rob, whether we're talking social ills, personal accidents, or, you know, the Big Fire.
