This was a great read, thanks for sharing here. I'm always pleasantly surprised to see theological posts show up on HN every now and then. The discussion on how God can be both loving and wrathful comes up often and is often hard to end on a satisfactory answer, even though those attributes are necessary for each other. This post really helped show the mercy of God in the story of the Golden Calf, and of Gomorrah and Gomorrah, which are often cited in arguments on why God is "unjust."
