A lot of people live with unnecessary guilt and shame. They run from the source of help rather than to it because they think God has been enlisted in the cause of their hurt. God helped me. He wants to make me great, he's for me. He's not going to be part of the process of ruining me further.
Bad religion needs to be done away with in every place it exists.
The last point we should consider here is beating the enemies as fine as dust and pouring them into the mud of the street. This is absolute repudiation of the destroyers. Many of us are so familiar with damaged souls that we feel as if they must have some validity. But this verse is saying no, the liar and the murderer, the adversary of God and the destroyer of the people, the prince of the power of the air, the evil one with his minions who are engaged in attacking God by attacking the ones God loves, has no standing. This is complete and utter repudiation of lies and murder.
