Sometimes it's a parent, other times it's a cop, sometimes it's the national leader. It could even be a gang leader.

If everyone did exactly what you wanted them to do you would consider them to be all good.
And it clearly doesn't work because there are still evil people
And why should a sociopath care if god loves him ?as for the rest again why should he care ?
Were the people evil when they wanted to exercise freedom of religion and worship the golden calf? Moses thought so and killed about 3,000 of them. Between the two acts which one would you classify as "evil"?
Is it evil for people to work on the day someone decides that everyone shouldn't do any work on because he wants them to worship his version of a deity? If that's evil then it must be good to kill them for violating your rule.
If you had absolute power who knows what kinds of things you would consider evil and punish people for doing because they violate your ideas of what's good and evil?
