Then you see what kind of Hell-Hole of Hatred evil men turn God's green Earth into when they behave like Devils. The Just and Holy Fear of Hell-Fire can keep a man from falling into that kind of evil.
Nevertheless, I agree with those Catholic Theologians, who believe a great part of humanity, perhaps 50%, perhaps even 66%+ (like 2/3rds of the Angels were saved), or perhaps even more, depending on the prayers and actions of the Church, and of Christians, and also of course the free will choices of unbelievers. God has the right to practice Peace through Strength, just like nations practice it, especially when there are such Mass Murdering Communist Atheists like Joseph Stalin running around. But if people repent, as many Saints say, even in their last moments, the Merciful Judge commutes their Eternal Sentence to a lengthy period of time in Purgatory instead. God is Merciful and Just.
So you just admitted that Jesus is not better than Stalin.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
