In that video, Herbert claimed God spoke to him and ordered him to kill people as a sacrifice to save California from a potential earthquake.
There are many cases of people who killed many upon their direct experience with God who had commanded them to kill.He moved to San Francisco where he lived in decrepit apartments among alcoholics, drug addicts and other mental patients. There he met a new friend, Allan Hanson, who confirmed his beliefs on reincarnation, and began to believe that his voices where really telepathy, indicating that he was chosen by God to do something special.

Herb stands trial for the murders. During the trial, Herb stated that the heard messages that told him to commit human sacrifices to prevent massive earthquakes in California. He called these messages “die songs”.

My question is;
1. Aside from the moral element, what is the difference between the God of theistic religions and the God of Herbert Mullin and his likes.
2. Are there similarities between the two ideas of God?
