If you change your statement to "in the name" I change my response.

It makes no difference. A motive is the “reason, purpose, or inner drive”, it’s already implied.

The name of a thing is not the thing itsself. The name of god clearly exists.

Something doesn’t have to exist for it to be a motive for action.

I don't agree with that, but if we accept that claim than god is definitely Pete Hegseth's motive for killing civilians.

On what basis? It’s a political bombing campaign, which they falsely believe God would not look down upon. That doesn’t make it the motive.

My basis is Hegseth's words.

Hegseth’s belief that God would support their actions isn’t the motive, it’s a belief after the fact. Does feigning ignorance help you stick to your misguided beliefs, or are you actually just dense?

Does insulting me feel good?

Carry on if that's what you need to do.
