A believing douche has warrant that a standard douche simply doesn't.  I'm a standard douche, for example....lol.  One of the things standing between me and doing the sorts of things a believing douche gets up to is that I realize that my douchery is my own, these are my own opinions - not the mandate of heaven.


But I suppose most thoughtful theists would hope it can also be an amplifier for their better nature.  Becoming convinced and defensive about it being where it all goes to hell.
