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 ?

I think if someone uses any religion to try to hurt others, they are missing the point. As a Christian, I have been taught and read from the Bible that I should be considerate and compassionate to others, to take care of the poor and orphans and widows. To be kind to strangers and travelers. At the same time, I am not expected to be an object of abuse, not to be anyone else's door mat.
