Well, if it said to excuse the supposed actions of a god, then the one
saying it is stating that they don't actually care what the god they believe
in does, or what its motives are, they'll just worship it anyway.

It's a big denial of personal responsibility. It's like saying "I'll follow
that Hitler guy anywhere. I know he kills Jews, but I'm sure he has our best
interests at heart."
