Judgement and Hell - The False Argument

Often Christianity is lambasted and ridiculed for having to have the crutch of having to have the threat of judgement and fear of punishment in order to keep us behaving morally good.  On the prima facie of it, it would appear the ridicule is justified.

But then there i was watching a documentary by Chris Masters called "the years that made us" And it recounts in the mid 1920's when the police had their first and only public strike for several days. The result was 3 people dead, shops looted and destroyed and a national guard type organistion called in to restore order. And then i thought next of the London riots in 2011, what would have happended if the police and the judicial system had decided to pack up and leave for good would London still exist, would London 2012 games still have gone ahead? 

And atheism scoffs at Christianity for using judgement and punishment as a way to induce good behaviour.  But then  atheism says there is no absolute morality, of which there is no absolute right and wrong, and if true then justice and punishment are figments of relavtivism. 

As Malcom Muggeridge so eloquently said of mankind: 

“The depravity of man is at once the most empirically verifiable reality but at the same time the most intellectually resisted fact.” 

Heck if man has nothing to fear of judgement then he is unshackled to committ whatever act he or she wants to without retribution and punishment. 

And i can hear my colleague yell at me: "how dare you damn me to Hell and judge my life! Who are you to be so arrogant !?" To which i may respond: dear friend, it is not i who do any such thing, that is entirely between you and your maker, if it be true, then take your aggreviance up with a higher Judical power than the one judging you now"

And the flipside is Jesus comes with great news: "God loves you so much that He gave his only son so that any person who believes in me the Son, shall have everlasting life, all judgement, punishment, death and payment will be dealt with by my crucifixion"  (Vaguely from John 3:16). And God says, if I am not just, then the consequences of mankind have no bearing and I just let them slide into nothing - all rape, all violence, all murder, all stealing, all lies and deceit, all hatred and malice..... 

From what I understand of Nietzsche, he understood the judicial and moral ramifications of throwing off God, yet much of atheism wants to have justice without a justice maker and accuses Christianity of having such justice with a justice maker!
