Abstract: Ted Sider's Proportionality o f Justice condition requires that any two moral agents instantiating nearly the same moral state be treated in nearly the same way.I provide a countermodel in supervaluation semantics to the proportion ality of justice condition.It is possible that moral agents S and S' are in nearly the same moral state, S' is beyond all redemption and S is not.It is consistent with perfect justice then that moral agents that are not beyond redemption go determinately to heaven and moral agents that are beyond all redemption go determinately to hell.I conclude that moral agents that are in nearly the same moral state may be treated in very unequal ways.
