They're not real mistakes. The end justifies the means and they think their god is only smart enough to go with this, basically.

The ends justify the means?

Hypotheticaly then: if I had a 100% guarantee that murdering all babies would get them into heaven, but you'd go to hell, is it morally right to murder all babies? The ends justify the means, do they not? We need to get babies to heaven! So murder them all!

No, it's absolutely still monstrous. Because utilitarianism is stupid.

Oh, no. That's not okay. But, if we did do that, then it's for the best.

If you do it it's not ok and you should feel guilty all of your life. But if we did it it's totally ok.

Actually you should still feel guilty all of your life because one of your ancestors sinned or something. And I've made you a sinner by definition.

-- God, priests and other representatives of God, probably.

Also, can we have more gold?

God and priests, definitely.
