See, self-righteous religious people have no problem with the "wicked" being tortured endlessly, because they haven't seen their own insides to comprehend that *none* of us deserve any better. They're just glad it's not them heading for hell - which is, by the way, a punishment which no decent human being would wish upon another for any reason. Surely we fallen schmucks are not more merciful than the Lamb, are we? Hebrews calls Him the express image (charakter) of God, so we can pretty much learn what God is like by examining Christ as depicted in the gospels. He befriended outcasts and He criticized the proud religionists, being the scribes and Pharisees. He was offended at the hardness of their hearts, specifically their prioritization of religious ritual over compassion for their fellow man.
