    It is not the case that A system where consequences track the nature of the offense rather than its satisfiability is just, not unjust—defeating the objection that God institutes injustice.

    ?Set your confidence on the premises below to see your aggregate.

    Reasons For

    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?
    • 1.Justice without regard for satisfiability produces outcomes that are cruel by definition—causing suffering beyond reasonable necessity.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.If divine consequences are infinite while human offenses are finite, proportionality itself becomes impossible to satisfy.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.A just system must consider whether the punished party can meaningfully reform or understand their punishment; ignorance of satisfiability undermines this.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    Reasons Against

    1 perspective
    Reason against
    ?
    • 1.Justice requires proportionality between wrongdoing and consequence, not between consequence and ability to bear it.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 2.A system tracking offense-nature is internally consistent and rationally defensible, which distinguishes it from arbitrary punishment.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Satisfiability (ability to endure) is a separate concern from desert; conflating them confuses mercy with justice.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
