Do some religous people use God as an excuse to hurt others ? [I Dont Like Small Talk]

As if God is ok with someone hurting others ..since he is all about love

I just think some people use it as an excuse to do certain things because God told them to

Thoughts ?

People don't listen to God. They listen to the Bible. Which has become a God to many people. And there are verses for both good and evil in the Bible. Want a verse that says no killing? There is one for that. Want a verse that says it's okay to kill? There is a verse for that.
When people talk about hearing God they are hearing their own conscience. But not all people have a conscience. Psychopaths for example who's brains are literally wired to derive pleasure from hurting others.
So neither ends up working to prevent evil.
