It seems you don't understand your own words. If the wages for sin is death, then death is the atonement and after death no forgiveness is required. You understand what "wage" means, right? It means that upon dying, you have paid for your sins. Once you have done so, withholding forgiveness on basis of absence of any ass-kissing would not only be unjust, it'd be evil and a sure sign of hatred. That's your god, evil and full of hate.

Why? That seems much more rational, just and frankly smarter that what your god did.

Contrary to your theology, like every child in the world.

Good. So you can identify your own logical fallacies. You are correct - the argument you have made here is a logical fallacy called special pleading.
