I know from experience with religious people, is they tend to emphasize on one of the opposing attributes, while try to ignore the other.
For example, emphasize on God's Mercy and praise it, while merely tolerate and accept his Wrath. Emphasize on God's Forgiveness and praise it, while merely tolerate and accept his punishment.
You can see by this, truly, what humans truly adore and praise and exalt. And the exalted attributes and beautiful attributes are those of mercy, compassion, forbearance, love and forgiveness.
People are in a double think. They want to believe God is Most Merciful, Ultimately compassionate, even though their religion truly describes him in the exact opposite while yet praising him with such titles.
This shows deep down people adore a different God then described by their religion, and are trying to cover the monster god with titles and praise of the true divine beauty that we all adore (whether we believe it exists or not, is a different matter).
