I was narrating from the point of view of a God looking down at his followers, finding these moderates to not be quite the ticket.
OK. Gotcha. If the deity in charge is the sort of god imagined by the fundies, one who wrote a book free from all historical and scientific errors (ROFLOL), who used that book to show his loving-kindness with a list of atrocities which he either ordered or personally committed, naturally a god like that would be pissed off at those cherry-picking liberals who only want to pay attention to the warm and fuzzy texts.
