Do you think it's when you sin more than 70 times 7 times in a day, the number told by Jesus as the number you can forgive?
Or do you think he waits till a little after, sneaking in with a heart attack, "THAT WILL TEACH THE SINNER WHO'S BOSS!"
What part of destroying them do you think he salivates over the most? Slow roasting them? Kicking them INTO hell? Laughing as he pokes them every now & then with fire irons?

You are attributing human emotions with God. He's above all that.

First, the dominion of Hell is the dominion of Lucifer/Devil who was abrogated authority there by God, God does not carry out the punishment there.
Second, do you acknowledge the acts you do as sinful or are you being told by third parties that in their eyes the acts are indeed sinful?
Is it sinful to want a ice cream even though one is on one's diet plan?
I don't think that God wants to "show" who's boss because that would presume to impose human emotions or thinking upon a omnipotent being, it is like an ant thinking that a human being would want the same needs as an ant and a human being would think the same way as an ant.
At the end of the day, if you commit acts that are morally and socially wrong then you should classed them as 'sins'.

Where do you get the idea that God roasts people in Hell? I didn't realize he'd be turning the spit, and would like to hear where you heard that one from.
And all sins can be forgiven if you just ask, and as the Bible says he removes them as far from you "as the East is From the West" . God doesn't WANT to send anyone to Hell. But, we know the deal, and we know the contract. You mess up, you burn up. Just face it, there's no way out of it. Just do the right thing. You aren't helpless, just unwilling to do anything about it.
And by the way, in the Bible, Satan is the accuser, the torturer, and the tempter, not God.

Another person who doesn't discipline his children. He lets his son go off all times day and night at the age of 8, let's his 14 year old son rape his 12 year old daughter. No punishment. No yelling. No belt. Not even when your 16 year old steals all the money from your wallet to buy drugs. Not a word from you!
Wow, you have a lot of tolerance!

The most typical "symbol" of God in the New Testament is that of our Father.
Perhaps I am the only one that this applies to, but I often remind myself of an ungrateful, rebellious, know-it-all, if-I-feel-like-it, self-absorbed teenager.
God is my boss, and I am a sinner. I try to be grateful that He is going to allow me into His heaven. It seems a small price to be willing to be a follower of His Son. I certainly feel He has the right to "disown" me for my lack of appreciation.

God dont get angry at sinners, He knows who they are. Only certain prophets out of their own anger or what injustice they might have seen quote that God is angry. And even John who baptist Jesus, killed . Jesus wasnt angry neither did He punished those who plot and crucified him.

God is nothing to laugh at, but to answer your question, God will continue to give sinners chances to get things right because it is His will that none would perish. If God wanted sinnerss to die, he would have never created them.

why do you paint God so morbid? If you owned a house and you leased it out to tenants, and the tenants were abusing your house wouldn't you evict them or does this make you a cruel person?
What does the Bible say the penalty for sin is?
Rom. 6:23: “The wages sin pays is death.”
After one’s death, is he still subject to further punishment for his sins?
Rom. 6:7: “He who has died has been acquitted from his sin.”

Could God create a person so sinful, not even He could love him?

GOD IS NEVER ANGRY
WHEN THE BIBLE SAYS GOD IS ANGRY IT IS ASSIGNING A HUMAN ATTRIBUTE TO GOD TO EXPLAIN A DIVINE PRINCIPLE.
IF YOU SIN, YOU WILL BE DISCIPLINED, SO TO YOU IT APPEARS THAT GOD IS ANGRY.
HOW CAN YOU BE ANGRY IF YOU KNEW A THOUSAND YEARS AGO THAT SOMETHING WAS GOING TO HAPPEN?
