They don't forgive easily, that's one thing I've learnt about them. Perhaps it's because they don't forget easily. And things in life shouldn't be that way.

Could this be why a strict God commands more obedience than a gentle God?

I don't know. Lately, I've just given up on religion. It was days when it actually mattered to me that I debated about it. Now discussions that try to invalidate religions based on minutiae that don't make complete sense are starting to bore me. If looked closely enough, every religion is flawed that way. So I guess you have to mould yours according to what you believe. Perhaps that could be interpretation. I don't know. Are religious scriptures not the word of God? My acquaintances were incredulous when I proposed they were. Has the idea that they're not gained common acceptance?
