How is that not commensurate?

Just because you believe your god to be just and fair doesn't make it so.

This is, indeed, commensurate.
Actually I wasn't referencing that passage I was referring to the passage about cutting off a woman's hand for touching the genitals of an assailant on her husband.
That is not commensurate in any way, shape or form.
