how we're told God actually behaves, which is all that matters
You do not think when assessing actions knowing the motivation behind them is important? I'm not a lawyer, but as fair as I'm aware motivations are quite important in trials; this seems quite sensible to me.
People are grown-ups and can make their own decisions, of course, but I think the mission talks present a very skewed view of both humanity and Christianity.
What is the unskewed view of humanity and Christianity? (This isn't intended as a quick retort. I would actually be quite interested in your answer.)
