Transcript

He who begins by worshiping†, through fear of consequence, a God he does not respect, will end by sending his fellow to hell for refusing to to the like.

You begin by assuming a deity responsible for all the iniquity of nature. You then proceed to the monstrous assertion of his benevolence. You end by citing his example to condone your own iniquities.

You throw the burden of the future upon a supposedly omnipotent and, illogically enough, at the same time benificent† power, and having thus divested yourself of all responsibility, proceed, quite logically, to justify your own morality.
