I think we have to allow that it comes from good things too. The real fucked up bit about "god" isn't the charlatans or the theocrats who attempt to control or horde power. It's the people who want good things but for the choice of their implement never end up producing anything but misery.
Shitty people set out to to bad shit is one thing. Normal people set out to do decent shit and arrive at genocide...another.
