Don't blame the evil deeds you yourself do on a supernatural being. As the Quran says that we humans can be better than angels or worse than devils.

Cloud Atlas (Quote # 9)
It's pretty much 2 quotes in one:
1. If you want to know your true yourself, you need to see yourself from others' eyes / perception. It is similar to what French poet, Jacques Rigaut, said (which I will be posting btw here soon) that your true self can only be seen by others. So, we should be open to learning & improving ourselves through constructive criticism of ourselves from others. None of us is all-knowing & perfect.
2. Since, the beginning of time (or civilization), regardless of whether you believe in a religion or not, we humans have worked tirelessly to increase our life span; so much so to achieve immortality. Be the alchemists of ancient civilizations or modern A.I. (artificial intelligence) & robotics engineers, we are still trying to achieve immortality. But immortality is supposed to be in our "words & deeds", & not in our physical immortality. Our words & deeds affect people around us &, perhaps society, to the point that they may have rippling effects throughout the future of this world.
During our finite lives, we may never realize how we may have affected the world, but you can look at any of the prominent people in our histories around the world, good or bad, have gone on to achieve immortality through their words & actions.
