Isn't it logically impossible for one being to be simultaneously all-merciful and all-just, without favoring some actions over other actions, thus contradicting itself as an absolute?
That, then, being would now be subjectively merciful and just, based on its own criteria.
Throwing around absolute and all encompassing phrases, would appear to be dishonest, as it is now "my kind of justice and mercy, based on me, my views, my conditions and what I accept".
And that's what reality-TV judges do.
(The phrase "_______'s brand of justice", comes to mind.)
