The closest thing I could think of to a fitting judgment here on earth would

I understand that, but aren’t you supposed to try? I mean, you’re openly
embracing your desire to torture another man. I thought (and obviously I don’t

way Jesus would. In ranting for that man’s torture, it doesn’t feel like you’re
trying at all.
