Punishing God vs Forbearing/Merciful God

Punishing God vs Forbearing/Merciful God
What do you deem a greater God?

One that punishes evil people or one that forbears evil people and will have mercy upon them.

Or how about one that doesn't punish all evil people but rather punishes only super evil people.

A Buddhist obviously will believe in the more compassionate one is greater. A Muslim will obviously believe the punishing one is greater.

But I'd like to see views of people whom don't have a religion and don't have a belief in God to start with.
