You deliberately changed the entire meaning of my post, and it does you no credit at all!
The fact is, millions upon millions believe that people are deserving of hell NOT because they did bad things, but because they didn't pledge blind allegiance to one view of god or another. Remember Jerry Falwell's "anybody who is not a born-again Christian is a failure as a human being."
In fact, I was very careful to point out that -- for many Christians in the U.S. especially -- those who live good lives but don't believe that Jesus Christ is their Saviour are doomed to Hell for all eternity, but that many who commit atrocities (like Hitler's) who DO accept Christ as their personal Lord and Saviour will merit Heaven eventually.
Really, if you're going to answer my questions, I'd prefer you to do that, rather than substitute them with questions of your own and answering those!
