It only matters how "he" deals with good and evil if "he" exists. Again, I understand that you believe this, but again, why?
I've given you my answer, I would deal with how to punish a criminal in accordance with the statute that determines the parameters. This is how modern, civilized human beings punish crime. Is there something about this that you disagree with?
That is what is said with all that omni stuff.
I think that humans judging other humans is flawed, but our society does a cracker jack job of it.
Take the Casey Anthony case for example. Somebody committed that crime, be it the Casey, the father, or a complete stranger.(i think they proved she was murdered). They tried to convict Casey but failed yet there is no justice for the because the truth is unknown. Why doesn't the one that committed the crime come forward?
But you answered, kinda, the question in a form of a question. Would you restrict someone's choice and desire or would you allow them to prove their worth? A perfect lawgiver would allow ones to prove their worth then remove those that fail. Now, Do you believe all criminals can be reformed or would you let a series of events(time) prove to you the ones that can?
