Let the punishment match the sin, says God.
We, the punishers, keep a list of sins.
And their matching punishments.
With social and technological advances come new sins.
And new punishments.
We catalog them all, and debate new opportunities for each sin and punishment.
Some sins are not as sinful these days, meriting lesser punishments.
And with various medicines and surgeries, remedies can be employed in the place of punishments.
And for the greatest sins of all, we just leave them be.
Encased in glass for all to see.
The memory of their sin and its consequences is punishment enough.
