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 Often due to moving on from backwards/outdated ideas like this.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Backwards outdated ideas - can you give a main example?

Slavery. Laws that allow for the persecution of minority groups. Outlawing other religions and belief systems. The history of christianity is filled with wars and blood. Not unlike the old testament. Even Jesus said he comes to bring sword, instead of peace. We don't really have to go too far back to find people preaching christianity while committing atrocities. You can claim they're not true christians, but that doesn't really solve the problem. The fact is, people in power, who believe in the bible, have done many atrocious things.

Equal rights for all seems to be a pretty big example for something, that is not acceptable to your god, that a civilized society needs to function properly.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Good video to watch, if you want to know how common the Jesus story really is.
