there is no mercy in nature, and assuredly none afforded by those who surround us all.
justice is decisive, impartial, and uncaring as it must be by nature. most people fear justice more than plague; a thing to be shunned and denied, a dangerous thing. same people never grant or even consider mercy, ever.
mercy depends on who is in position to grant it; you do not want to meet them.
God merely watches from afar; granting no mercy and forcing not justice.

That’s not my God. My God is active in my life on a daily basis. I think He protects us and grants prayers when we follow His will. If we separate ourselves from Him He separates Himself and His protection from US.
