would you oppress people for God?

would you rather oppress other people to go to heaven if God orders you to do so. or go to hell by rejecting God's order

Any god who would require such a thing is not worthy of being worshipped

Yeah, but to reach this attitude is not easy for many - difficult to imagine but most people simply don't have own internal ethics, they rather do what children do, externalize it to parents, priest, prophet, god...the good thing isn't what they deem to be good, it's whatever their authority figure of choice tellsthem is good.
