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.

I agree . Plenty of atrocities in history have been committed in his name by those who don’t know him.
Plenty by those who call themselves Christians to who DON’T know Christ.

God will use whoever He chooses....and no one is excempt from sin, except the Christ,or group of people.... so therefore there is no “perfect” religion. Thus it puts all people in the place of being used or sent by God at His choosing....and there will always be failures and falling short of what we might otherwise be...we all have a “trail” of damage behind us.
