Simple: your words express that you know for sure the exact nature of 
the DL's intentions and that those intentions are an unchanging thing. 
This is not backed up by logic or scientific inverstigation, but by 
dogmatic belief. Expressing these words have a twofold purpose: to 
spread this dogamtic belief and to make yourself look good.
I think it's just naïve and hypocritical to think that someone can 
always and from every perspective be pure good and without faults in 
this world. This the consequence of relativism or emptiness.
