So how's that any different than Al Capone's sense of justice? Don't punish the actual perp but his family members. That'll teach him.
No, my friend. We're not made in his image. He's made in the image of an archaic society where things like that were acceptable and just another day at the office. He's got his share of human like any other god that ever got created.
