God said this...God said that......

[Esquilax]

So by your belief the government has not right to set the punishment of criminals that break the standards the government has set.

I think a better analogy would be that I'd believe the government would have no right to set the punishment if the laws the government made were impossible to follow unless you bowed down to the government and worshiped it, including following the government's dictate to harm others and profess bigoted beliefs.

To be clear, the government god most resembles isn't a democratic one, it's an autocracy. A dictatorship. That's the issue I have with your dishonest equivocation.
