The large numbers of Christians across time and culture indicates that God's sense of justice is within the bounds of humanity's sense of justice.

Nope, I don't. But I don't think any moral system that allow for the killing of one person in lieu of others in sensible. Humans certainly did a number of things in the past that most people would consider immoral now such and the death penalty for pick-pocketing, punishment of sons for the crimes of their fathers. Some Middle Eastern countries still punish women for being raped and sentence men to have their sisters or daughters raped. But most of us have grown beyond that. It appears to me that god has not. ----You'd expect him to be ahead of us rather than behind.
Though alpha male doesn't see it this way, obviously the reason God lags behind us in our sense of justice is because his sense of justice was supplied to him by his very human creators, and they were barbarians.
