I'm also serious. If you're going to discuss a matter of faith, you can't just ramble ignorantly about absolutes and metaphysics. You also have to reckon with the revealed doctrine.

If you have trouble understanding what I said, read it again.

God's mercy is infinite, and he said we will be judged. And he made a new covenant (a New *Testament*) with man. "So if God's mercy is infinite, why should I worry?" you ask. I'll tell you. Because doing so ignores what he revealed. You throw it back in his face, pretending he never commanded you to love thy neighbor et cetera et cetera. It is good to depend on Christ, but folly to ignore his commandments.

>>13268346 is also relevant here. You move yourself away from God. You choose suffering, being away from him. This life is just the beginning of the eternal life, and you have the power to choose your actions. If you desire to share in the beatific vision, you should orient yourself to it while you can still act.
