So let's say I kill and rape a bunch of people, and say God told me to do it.
That would be "righteous", yes? All that matters is whether it's in line with what God wants. And if he commanded it, it must be what he wants. Unless you're calling God a liar.
Something tells me people who subscribe to this line of reasoning wouldn't congratulate me for killing their family based on voices in my head. I imagine they'd suddenly remember what scepticism is, and they'd care about the outcome of actions after all.
I don't know, maybe they wouldn't. Maybe they'd willingly hand over their family into slavery to me if I said God told me to take them as property.
