Is God's Mercy Unjust?

Malcolm Gladwell: How is it that a person who has sought god for so long and never finds him, then dies and goes to hell? The way the question is framed seems to impl this would be unjust. If you end up there, it's cause you chose to go there and decided heaven wasn't what you desired., he says. But in god's justice, and especially in god's mercy, god is not going to leave somebody hanging in that way,. Glaude writes.
