[Dr. Eckleburg]

You're describing the god of Rome who sends some men to hell if they they haven't received a priest's pat on the head.

Christians believe in mercy.

"But after that the kindness and love of God our Saviour toward man appeared,

Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;

Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;

That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life." -- Titus 3:4-7

[D-fendr]

Christians believe in mercy.

Yes, they do. And a merciful God.

However, that's not the conclusion resulting from Calvinist theology.
