Sadly there are those who’s faith (in anything, not just in God) refuses to let them question themselves about the reasons for their actions. They let their unquestioning faith blind them to the justness of their actions but feel justified because of how they have chosen to believe.
Dictators fall into this category. As do some Christian cult leaders. 😦
