In life, non-believers view God as the judging enforcer ... the cruel accountant of good and bad ... much like a professional baseball umpire calling "Three Strikes - YOUR OUT! Believers, however, know that God is really like a patient father, exhorting, encouraging his son - all while lobbing unlimited easy pitches. Then after a random hit Dad somehow is outrun to first base, while his son tastes victory and accomplishment!
