QFT. The 'god wants you to XYZ' stuff is effectively just the believer telling me what they think I/we 'ought' to be doing, not their deity. They've had just as many conversations with their god as I have (zero), so when I get angry its because of them thinking their vivid imagination automatically gives them a right to dictate to others.
