Justice is a rectification process where equality is restored between all parties concerned. If you can imagine, Justice does not necessarily comprise of punishment, but it does not occlude punishment as a learning/understanding factor.
I see. So there are ways other than punishment to restore equalityy. However, you still have not explained why punishing ALL of humanity could restore equality between humans and OMNIgawd.

I cannot help it if you are confused. My material is not simplistic. I consider myself immaturely above average in the domain of philosophy. Very egoistic you may add, but this is a fact in my life that I graciously accept.

"Immaturely above average" means what exactly? That your egotism (that word has a "t" in it, by the way, just fyi) is an aspect of your immaturity? Or do you mean that your own immaturity puts that of most philosophers to shame?

Perhaps it was just a bizarre thesaurus mining incident. I see them all the time. It's enough to make an English major gently weep.

If only this made sense, I'd try and address it. Luckily since the comment speaks for itself, I'll just let it be.

I think you may want to look up the definition of gracious; [enigomontoya] "I do not think it means what you think in means."[/enigomontoya]

Exclamation Perfection!

Can one be a perfect cook if the food is not perfect? In fact the food taste like regurgitated dog feces?

Perfect designer/creator manufecturing defected units . . .

Late to the party, but I can't resist this setup...

It would be more accurate to say that electricity has tremendous positive and negative potential.... [rimshot]

good. That's the kinda response I enjoys. Sorta seperates the weepers from the lucky ones.

Do you really want to know? Yes you do. No you don't.
I consider myself immaturely above average in the domain of philosophy. Immaturely is used as an adverb here isn't it? I shall leave the rest up to the imagination (I hope).

Sophie your nonsense makes me sleepy. I truly hope you are just screwing around, because if you are trying to spread the good word, well... Just think, when god asks you if you were able to convert the heathens, what will you reply?

"No, I told them a bunch of nonsense and condemned their souls to hell."

"Sure god, I told them cryptic things that only other christians can understand. That way your glorious word could never be deciphered and disseminated."

"I danced around their arguments, because that is the best way to convert logical people. Heathens love it when people refuse to answer their questions. They immediately run out and go to church."

Sophie, your responses suck. But you already knew that, right?

What you again. I thought I got rid of you some time ago. I'm terribly sorry I hurt you feelings, I even apologise.

I never realised this, I hope it is valid information, and you are not slyly being tongue-in-cheek.

I am sure Christians may have to think a bit to understand. I don't think you have pegged me right. You seem to gather I am here to spread the word. For your information, I am here to spread other things rather than the word (hee hee).

We all have our own levelsl of tolerance & intolerance. I don't pride myself to have much connection to your bizarre claims.

You mean I have the power to render your mortal thunking processes out of commission. You overestimate me King Rat.

(rats and I thought all was clear)

I don't know if this was posted or not yet, but this is a long thread that has been derailed somewhat by Magus.

The bible is clear and unequivocable on this one. (Nice for once isn't it?)

Isaiah 45:7
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
