Yes, people have a right to life. It's one of the foundational concepts of society. If we believed otherwise, killing wouldn't be illegal. We pay for wrongdoings all the time. Fines, jail, and such. Some people get away with it, and die peacefully in bed, but that's usually due to power and corruption. Like one guy lording over an entire population, and feeling he has the right to just wipe them out when things go wrong, instead of trying to solve the societal problems that the wrongdoings are a symptom of.
The lamb/god is apparently the one who claimed that the world is sinful in the first place, which really just amounts to "doing things he doesn't like". So the concept of sin is a flimsy one at best. Saving us from himself.
I know there are positive things going on. Often due to moving on from backwards/outdated ideas like this.
Yes, it still would be dark...I agree...but truth isn't always what we want to hear.
But I'll go along with what you are saying for arguments sake...
"Hardcore believers act like" they're from another planet...when was the last time a Christian imposed something unacceptable?
And what kind of things are not acceptable by God, that the world can't seem to live without?
Backwards outdated ideas - can you give a main example?
