This is the contradiction at the heart of Christianity. There is the meek and mild Jesus preaching tolerance, as well as the Jesus teaching fire and brimstone.
If it is true that all who don't believe that Jesus is Lord will get burned for eternity, and the faithful will live forever, then what value does life have? I would argue, none. A finite life is meaningless compared to an infinite afterlife. All manners of things are justified in order to minimize the chance of people getting tempted by Satan and the unbelievers.
