>Not what anyone deserves, but justice sometimes means that those who refuse to look both ways crossing streets get put in hospital. If the case is sufficiently pitiful, perhaps they might merit a visit to commisserate.

Really? I would say that Justice is what everyone deserves; and yet no-one wants. It is Justice that will demand accountability for every idle word and every deed when God judges all of mankind.

It is Justice that we, evil and debased humanity, should be destroyed.

It is Mercy and Grace, and frankly God’s Love, that He allows us many, many “second-chances”... and THE way to escape damnation by way of Jesus.

Well, I can’t disagree with that. But then, I don’t expect God to interfere with a nation intent on destroying itself and making a very noisy and obnoxious point about dissing Him in the process. If He let Israel be ground under by no fewer than four major ancient empires, He’s not going to cavil at letting America grind itself up.

And I think that would be rough but appropriate Justice. I just know that I am set as a Watchman who is called to point these things out, just as you have, and to assert in no uncertain terms what is forever true and what is just a mundane, destructive and hopefully passing fancy.

The ignorant will have to fend for themselves, apres le Deluge they themselves will have caused.
