For if the men in a prision were sent their by a given judge, does anyone outside of the prision care if the inmates deem him 'unfair?' Does it lessen their guilt because they do not like him for holding them accountable for their actions?
Yes, actually. You see, if the judge is corrupt, then yes we care that he's being unfair. Your god supposedly sends people to hell not only based upon the weight of their crimes, but based upon whether or not they worship him enough. Hardly an impartial or fair decision, now is it? "Increase my circle of influence marginally, or burn forever."
Please, do make sure to note the distinction between a judge and a dictator next time.

To trot out one of my favourite lines again, an opportunity I always relish, wouldn't that be teaching them a lesson they'll never remember? If people had to die that day, surely it would have been better to slaughter 'only' a few of them, perhaps only those within the bears' reach, then the survivors would get the message not to mock bald blokes as well as being in a more fit condition to actually tell other people about it?
Actually, what were those kids doing standing around anyway while two sodding great bears were killing their friends? Admittedly I have no real experience of the killing speed of even one murderously ramped-up bear, but I have a feeling that if I were somewhere on the fringes of a forty-two-strong crowd being ravaged by death in ursine form, I might just be tempted to, y'know, run away, rather than just stand there going "Ooh look, bears!"
The story indicates their we're more than 42 kids there.
Also the lesson was not for those who were turn into bear poop. It was for everyone else who came after them.. How many other stories of prophet hair lines include taunting after this one.
