Christians: If Hitler genuinely repented of his sins and accepted Jesus into his heart, he would go to heaven, yes?

And if someone who lives a good life does not accept Jesus they go to hell, yes?

Does that seem like justice to you?

Neither place exists. Unfortunately the people who believe they do are still capable of making other people's lives a misery while they are still alive.

Well i would agree that both places are imaginary but for the purposes of this question we're assuming that they exist.

@Pikachu Well, with that assumption in mind to then of course I don't believe it is just.

But there seem to be people for whom obedience is more important than justice.

I don't think they would characterize it that way but functionally that does seem to be the way they defend certain problematic elements of the Bible.

@Pikachu I suspect that the requirement for obedience is popular in some circles because it simplifies things and means that they don't need to think or defend their actions.

I try to be charitable to most people and their opinions but there are some who are beyond the pale.
