To the christian mind abuse is love. That is the example the bible gives, where the perfectly loving god is a symbol of fear, wrath and eternal torment.

Nothing says love like obey me or suffer eternal torment

There is debate that Yahweh was originally conceptualized as a war God before monotheism was fully established. It would explain why the God of the old testament seems so.. harsh at times.
