Spirituality: Gerhard Lohfink, God does not punish sins

God does not punish people for their sins. We have to keep repeating: the notion that God demands compensation, that God, punishes, takes vengeance, requires penance by torturing people, and causing them anguish is absolutely unworthy of God and a gruesome caricature. It is not God who punishes. People punish themselves.
