Maybe:

"This is a test from god, we must work harder. in**-*****, we will prevail."

Who is the "we"?

This is the part where most ppl who call for religious law don't get. All they keep saying is "if you don't do wrong, no need scared."

It has happen many times throughout history, from old kings and emperors appointing priests to declare them as god-kings, to Church corruption and scandal.

Dunno why this ppl refuse to learn or just want to tutup mata to history.

Already, in present state, ppl very hesitant to question when words come out from the religious ppl. When these words become law, who dares to question?

Noted phrase when the Church was corrupted and held power over Europe:

"If you're against us, you're against God."

Foosh, how you want to lawan?

You see some politicians also like to hide behind phrases like, "Only god knows I'm telling the truth. That is enough." In US there is the tradition of people declaring to tell the truth by placing their hand on Bible, and some in Malaysia start to follow the trend.

You see how easy it is to hide behind a theocracy veil.

If you read back history, many kings and emperors in the past declare themselves as god-kings or chosen ones to rule on earth. The second in power is usually the priests who helps to spread the image of the divine king and the people will usually follow the wise words from these priests, who "act" as the bridge between human and their deities. That's why people don't dare to question for fearing divine retribution, and the king can do as he wants because he is the "chosen one". The priests also get benefits as they are "special people" who can communicate with the deities, from the king who give them a lot of power (thus second in hierarchy) and from people who usually will give a lot of offering to the the priests (meant for the deities) and kings.
