THE LAST JUDGMENT

"The criteria of the Last Judgment are interesting. Indirectly they tell us what "sort" of God is the God whose name Jesus pronounces Judgment.

Now we note with surprise that God is pretty indifferent concerning whatever men will have done to him personally. He condemns no one for what we could call crimes of lese majesty: blasphemies, profanations, neglect of religious duties, ignorance of his prerogatives, acts of superstition, magic, idolatry, etc. On the other hand, he shows himself supremely interested in whatever men will have done to the weakest of them, those he calls his brothers."
