I just want to show them our relationship! Please have mercy on all of us!
Personally, any being who is performing, or has threatened to perform, acts of such a nature that I am willing to beg for mercy (assuming that I can't just stop them), isn't the sort of being I would want to have ANY sort of relationship with. Simply put, if god is soo cruel that people beg for mercy, maybe he isn't the sort of person you should be friends with.
Freedom, morality, and the human dignity of the individual consists precisely in
this; that he does good not because he is forced to do so, but because he freely
conceives it, wants it, and loves it.
