Remember the story of the golden calf. The Hebrews were frightened because Moses hadn’t come back from the mountain and they were getting a bit restless, so that took off their jewellery and melted it down and made it into this golden calf. So we can take what is most precious to us, most valuable to us, and we turn it into this construct of our own imagination, and we worship that. And then we do what we like because it’s our god. So you can have an orgy around it if you like or you can condemn everybody else to doing something different or thinking about something different. If it’s your god then that allows you to justify basically anything you want to do or to think. That’s how we justify violence in the name of God.
In the name of God
