In Christianity, New Testament, all variants of such religion claim to worship an infinitely merciful and just God. Except on one day of the week:
Exodus 31:14
"Observe the Sabbath, because it is holy to you.
Anyone who desecrates it must be put to death;
whoever does any work on that day must be cut off from his people."
In other words, do anything unholy on the sabbath and you must be put to death. That is how far God's kindness and tolerance goes in this day of the week. And in case your decide to work, that will cut you off from your people. Very fair, considering that all obstacles of Nature towards Mankind also happen during the Sabbath.
In my humble opinion, I believe the Bible needs to reassess the meaning on the word "infinitely". Because if for some reason another God shows up that is kind and tolerant every day of the week, such new God would be even kinder and more tolerant than the Christian God.
The newer God would then be kinder than the already infinitely kind one we "have" today. Can you really surpass infinity? According to Christianity, yes. They allow infinity to have exceptions.
