The un-repentant sinning shoplifter, garnishes a sentence of eternal damnation.
This news-headline would be amusing – if it wasn’t sadly true (at least in the minds and in the writings of Jews & Christians)
The God of the Bible has no given hierarchy of sins & but one punitive punishment option open to him.
And whilst we in the secular world can recognise & rank the severity of individual acts (murder versus say masturbation) to the followers of the scriptures, Gods word is a is final, so if a masturbator ends-up in hell ‘them is the breaks’. It is Gods privilege alone to issue a death warrant on a shop-lifter, and not for you plebeians to question the heavy handiness of such a decree.
Depending on Gods whim, a rapist and a thief are same, and the process of this judgment is not one in which mankind deserves a say, irrespective of the seeming inequality of the respective sins.
But wait there’s even more illogical pensiveness (and no ginzu knife) in respect to Gods so-called justice, coupled with a disturbing degree of blind acceptance of his draconian rule amongst believers.
A despot like Joseph Stalin culpable in the murder of million’s, can confess his sins on his death bed, and based-on Gods whimsicality be exempted his wrath. That’s like a murder admitting “it’s a far rap, I’m sorry fella’s” and being allowed to leave the court a free man.
Conversely a clean living, fun-loving atheist who hasn’t hurt a fly enters Gods court and is automatically sentenced to ‘the lake of fire’.
A combination of Judge Dread, morphed with the perfunctory ‘show’ trials of Nazi Germany, the God of the bible does, at times, not differentiate between the sins of mankind.
If he’s got a beef against shop-lifters on the day you die – that’s the way it is, get use to hot pokers up your backside.
If God’s had an argument with ‘the mrs’ on the day you depart the mortal-coil, then even the most pious character, guilty of say the most trivial of sins through-out their lives, will end-up being roasted.
No right of appeal.
If he’s in a better mood then you can literally get away with murder.
The Old Testament is full of examples of Gods petulance and the unevenness of his sentences versus the crime/sin in question.
Viewed through the eyes of mere mortals – Gods justice is not just.
