Basically, any theist can commit a heinous act and make the claim that it was done in service of god in order to absolve himself of guilt. The theist, in essence, deludes himself into a state of morality.

Same with atheists. Lots of people here talk about suffering, yet also talk about booze and drugs. If they really cared about the suffering, they'd take the time and money devoted to getting high and give it to those who are suffering.
