If learning to love others through word and deed is the bottom line, you might as well be a Buddhist.

You don't believe in punishment for evildoers? There is no punishment for doing the right thing.

Punishment for evildoers? Yes, I'm a strong supporter of a sound judicial system and punishments commensurate with crimes committed.

What I don't believe in are eternal punishments for finite crimes or for 'thought crimes' like not believing in the right savior figure. That's your gang.
