"Suspects otherwise" Too strong a sentiment IMO. Maybe the person in question
(me) knows that he has been wrong about things before. And will certainly be
wrong about things in the future. Also since there is no spoon, oops! sorry
proof. One cannot tell until the dark dog comes calling.
As for "hoping", who wants to be beholden to the evil* thing that I hear and
read about called the god of love? Unless the God we hear about is not the
omnipresent,  omnipotent and omniscient entity were are assured that It is.

Ah! That reads "If you do not agree with <insert whatever here> then you are mad

person can condone what goes on in Its realm. So Evil it is, in my
understanding.
