So you don't think that there were infants and children in Sodom?

From what I've read of the Bible it appears that a place of eternal torment exists.

I'm not God Dive but I do trust that he is just and will deal out justice better than you or I could ever do based on his infinite wisdom which neither of us have.

Children suffer because of their parents. Many are abused in various ways or even have their lives cut short because of their actions. Is this just?

There is not much just in a world of sin, but I trust that God can make it right again some day.

Isn't God responsible for giving those kids to those parents?

Your assertion has no moral content. Whatever it is, it's "justice"... because you say so... because you believe it is? It seems to have no moral substance or no function as a moral example. For example, what is a human application of this purportedly infinitely wise "justice"?

I simply recognize my limited ability to comprehend justice. I have my ideas, you have yours. At the end of the day, all of our thoughts vary to some degree or another, except for the same thought that we want justice.....except maybe for ourselves and those we love or care for. For those people we want mercy.

The question becomes, are all of these notions of justice based on anything or is it only our internal and inane musings as to how we want things to be? If the later, then there is no achievable justice because none exists.

Speaking of monsters, do you reckon Hitler will be your neighbor in the Pearly gates?

I am simply moving from one perceived absurdity to another.

Perception, however, can be deceiving.
