These are the words that Paris Hilton reportedly shouted in the courtroom learning that she was going to have to go back to the clink - sent there by a judge who overrode the decision of a sheriff who decided that she could just stay at home.
This will be an image of the last day as unbelievers are cast into hell. A lot of times we get the idea of "boy, won't they be kicking themselves for not believing, won't they be surprised?" No - because that would involve taking personal accountablity and knowing that one gets what one deserves. But that's not how sinful man views the Law - it's mandates and punishments. They aren't fair, they aren't right - what kind of mean God are you? How often do we ourselves try to shift blame, how often do we want or expect different treatment from others - and we know better.
The sinful nature sees the acts of God and shouts out "It's not fair!" That's why it's called the "sinful nature."
