I'm all for doing things for love, but I can't say I feel anything too strong for God. Demanding someone's love without really working for it is just tasteless...
[ Either way, he doesn't really care much about being absolved of sins. Sure, he doesn't like being accused as much as the next guy, but he's got no interest in offering up love and respect to someone who'd try to wipe his hands clean.
For those moments without love, without passionate intent, it's just mechanical. A job to do, a task to complete. He's not going to up and pretend he's an upstanding member of society just because God says he's faithful enough to have the slate wiped clean, or something.
...Really. It just leaves a bad taste in his mouth. ]
That type of half-assed excuse is really the worst.
Oh, I agree with you. That's the kind of God this is, though. Humans have killed so many of their own kind over the years, claiming that it was for God's sake, believing that it justifies them and their cause.
[ They try to dress it up to be anything other than slaughter, to deny that they're simply just bloodthirsty, and for what? ]
I suppose they must have been right, if this is how their God really is.
