In what situations do people use god as an excuse for their own antisocial behavior?

People use God as an excuse for ignorance.
It is easier to be mean, hurtful and biased when you believe that God is on your side.
They used this excuse to justify murder and slavery for countless centuries. "You are inferior in God's eyes, therefore I have the right to abuse you."
It's sad.

Well, some use Him as an excuse for why they ring your doorbell EVERY DAY to"witness the gospel" and to get in your business when any rational person would stay out of it.
Another excuseis that He wants them to commit certain acts, like certain sects of the Mormons (not all, I am sure) that the men marry the girls (children, aged 12+) so that they wll nt go to hell for "lust" and other such things.
There are also the excuses for murder, as in the Holy War when King Richard (?) killed thousands of pagans in the name of God.
Or when the Salem witch trials were going on.

God can no longer sin. God did no longer, nor has He ever murdered all people. those human beings weren't harmless. Genesis 6:5 The LORD observed that the wickedness of guy replaced into great interior the earth, and that each purpose of the suggestions of his coronary heart replaced into purely evil constantly. Romans 3:10-12 because it truly is written: "None is righteous, no, no longer one; no person is familiar with; no person seeks for God. All have became aside; jointly they have become valueless; no person does good, no longer even one." Romans 3:23 for all have sinned and fall in need of the appreciate of God, Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is dying, however the loose present of God is eternal existence in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Christianity is not antisocial--ever hear of the Church? God is not an excuse--He is to be worshiped.

Suicide bomber blowing up people - thats about as anti-social as you can get, and he says he did it "for god". Does that help?
