Once a being is posited as the infinitely powerful creator of the entire universe, all manner of 'infinite' characteristics become inevitably evident:
the being would have the capability of being infinitely wrathful for any offense to it's sensibilities
the being would have the capability of infinite vengefulness to redress any and all grievances by any and all individual of it's creation
the being would have the means of meting out infinite punishments for infinite durations
the being would also have the capability of being infinitely offended by an infinite number of it's creations, and would have the capability of delivering infinite punishments to an infinite number of offenders for an infinite length of time
the being would have an infinite sense of righteousness in inflicting these infinite punishments as by His standards, that is the only level of punishment that fits the offenses against Him
the being would have an infinite sense that all offenses against Him would need infinite punishment to satisfy His infinite sense of being offended infinitely
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Why wouldn't or couldn't an infinite being be infinitely pissed off and infinitely motivated and infinitely capable of inflicting infinite punishment for any offense against his infinite majesty ??
Heck, it's one of a very few attributes of an otherwise extremely unlikely being I find compellingly obvious.

I'm actually wondering why all the Christers don't seem to find my take on an infinitely vengeful deity compelling.
