Why? and says who? I imagine a god of perfect love would have the capacity and desire to forgive his children. After all, we aren't talking about murder here, just children saying something mean about their parent(s). What parent has not said something mean to their parents, such as "I hate you!" or "I wish you were dead!" And us frail human parents forgive them... Why wouldn't God? Perhaps because parents have always used God as the ultimate "bad cop" in disputes with children. An extension of what we see parents do everyday: "If daddy saw you do that he would tan your hide, so you had better behave yourself for me, or I'll tell daddy when he gets home!" It becomes: "If you don't behave for me, God will find out and you will burn in hell forever..."
