Wow. How much time did you put into that worthless post? Sit the fuck done Baby Huey while the adults talk.
To put human qualities into God is an exact contradiction to the concept of God Himself. God is a being that is beyond human comprehension. When humans asked God's name, he simply said "I am." The ideas of "compassion" or "justice" as we know it have no place with God. God's law is the law that is follwed. God is "compassionate" when we follow his laws. God throught the Bible has stated that His way is the way it is and if you don't like it, have fun in Hell. You can whine and cry about how "unjust" it is, but since God created reality, existance and time, you can't really give Him any guff that is meaningful.
