No, I think Mercy is understanding that I sin by self will and omission but God put the just penalty of my sins on His Son Jesus, paying that penalty on the cross, something that was impossible for me to do. I accept that and have Faith that God will do exactly as he promises.
Imaginary God giving no mercy to pretend Jesus, does not show mercy for you. It's scapegoating pure and simple. It's just you and your blind unthinking religious belief using the depraved notion that you can avoid responsibility for your own 'sins' by making someone else suffer for them.
I pray you will someday do the same.
Sorry my conscience wouldn't allow it.
I really couldn't demean myself to be content with a mindset that is comfortable with somebody else suffering for something I was supposed to have done wrong.
Even when it is only a make-believe somebody and a made-up sin.
Btw, You should research the origin and meaning of scapegoat.
Maybe you'd do well to just research what ethics and morality really are.
scapegoat:
Someone who is punished for the errors of others. As in pretend Jesus punished for your "sin". duh
