It is a pretentious and potentially dangerous mindset, in my opinion, to assume to be God’s tool, doing supposedly God’s will.

Mark 12:29 And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:
Mar 12:30 And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
Mar 12:31 And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.

It’s not dangerous at all if you believe this.
There is only one God and if you love him and you love your neighbor as yourself you are not going to run around murdering others thinking you are doing his will.

The Golden Rule is a universal standard of conduct which says the same thing.

However, people who think they are providentially "sent" to change the world or do something "in the name of God" have done many good things but also quite a bit of damage in the past.

Extremely important and well stated point!
