What I mean is - I hate people using God as an excuse for behaving abominably - or even well; we are all quite able to take full responsibility for our own actions; in fact, if we don't, we are being very norty.
My favourite take on this subject comes from the ever-underappreciated Todd Rundgren, in his song "God Said":
... And god said
You are not serving me, you're serving something else
Cause I don't need to be pleased, just get over yourself
You can't suck up to me, I know you all too well
But I don't dwell upon you, so get over yourself
Cause you're not praying to me, you're praying to yourself
And you're not worshipping me you're worshipping yourself
And you will kill in my name and heaven knows what else
When you can't prove I exist so get over yourself
