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.

I wasn't hoping to suggest that God was more punitive or more merciful than us; only that the human standards of fairness are not necessarily God's standards of fairness. And yes, I would tend to think, based on the parable, that God is far more merciful than we are.

Still no love on world hunger.
