When I was a teen, our band did "The Pusher" written by Hoyt Axton and performed by Steppenwolf. I was listening to the song in my room quite loud and practicing the vocal and came down to dinner. My Mom, quite innocently asked me about the lyrics to the song. I told Mom it was okay, because the writer is saying that he wants the pusher to be damned. Nothing else was said.
In my youth and ignorance, I did not realize that when someone says "GD" the meaning is for God to have that done to Him, which I promise you, will never happen. But even if the song WAS saying what I interpreted it to say, and I sang it, I am sure that many people feel that way about pushers, but that's now how God feels. He LOVES them. We should, too if we want to be like Him, but administering a little tough love, is sometimes appropriate. ;-)
