"It seems to me -- based primarily on my reading of Jesus' parable of the landlord and his workers -- that God's notion of what is fair does not necessarily match up with what we human beings want to think of as fair."
Yes... although this parable suggests that God is more merciful than us, not more punitive. Hell seems more like: some of the workers get paid at the end of the day, and others get eaten by crocodiles.
"There. Having solved that problem, I shall move on to world hunger."
