Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God

This “sermon” is terrifying, more than any other. I have to say that what God is he talking about, surely not mine. I mean there is pretty rough stuff in this story. Edwards is saying that God has an arrow pointed at our hearts and once we draw over the line he will let it go, leaving us gushing blood. He also mentions metaphors like “his wrath toward you burns like fire” as if God was already mad at us.
Edwards throughout the sermon is saying that we are all sinners and we cannot escape the punishment of God. He mentions that we have a pile of punishment just piling as we sin and once it overflows it will just burst out and will hit us with God's punishment. It has a power so mighty than not even if we were ten thousand times stronger would we be able to stop it.
If this was true so many bad people would not just die, because according to Edwards it isn't enough punishment and it isn't that bad as he explains it in this story. This God is a evil God, just waiting for us to sin and destroy us with a punishment. That is, of course if he existed because this is so out of line and plain dumb. I am a Catholic and I think this is foolishness. My god is forgiving. :)
