Its intentionally obfuscated to the extent you are better off ignoring all this crap.
Dont listen to dead cult leaders. Be kind to yourself and others, but dont be a slave to some invisible being outside of you. If it was really almighty, it wouldnt need anything from you, nor would it desire you to be punished.
