The carrot's really not looking so crisp and fresh. Then again, if he's offering up 72 virgins to people, he must at least understand the concept of pleasure. I guess he just doesn't partake, because he's too busy torturing people he doesn't like. And some people he does like, if we take Job as an example.
You can show mercy sometimes, and justice other times, but you can't be 100% both at the same time, at all times. And when most people describe how great their god is, they usually mean 110% all the way, with no room for error.
I'm surprised that the "72 virgins" rightist joke is still circulating; I don't believe in this so you can just move on because it is totally...ignorant and makes me feel sad for you to believe in such thing.
Of course you can show both if you're a God, capable of anything. Unless you are speaking about "Shiva or the Evangelical Jesus", then you and I will never find a mutual ground for discussion because you insist on treating "God in Islam" as an "Anthropomorphism" freak resulting from human mind.
Probably for the best that there isn't 72 virgins. That's kind of weird on its own. So your god is in no way Human-like. It's just this eldritch creature that we can't relate to, who tortures people when it has nothing better to do. Completely alien, and horrifying. Like trying to appease the storm, or the volcano, so it doesn't do as much damage as it could.
