So justice for himself, not for us? Why the hell does God need justice for himself anyway? You'd think God would be way beyond all this bullshit he's imposed on himself and on us.

You miss the point of essential attribute. God does not impose these things. The term 'justice' is defined by this attribute that could not have been any other way. There is no "justice for..."--it is just 'justice'.

The problem is that "being just" is not part of the definition of the classical theist God. You assume it has to be an attribute of God, provided God exists. And why does God being "just" have to be in a way that seems to serve his own interests anyway? There seems nothing great about a God who can't let this whole sin concept go. Rather than be just and holy (which sounds so damn human to me), why not instead be like the God of universalism, who is all about eventual reconciliation for all? This seems more divine to me than the God that you espouse.
