The number and types of deeds which people do are completely moot.

You can take the Lord's name in vane, or you can murder a billion people in cold blood, eternity in hell is the same sentence, There are no degrees of punishment.

Therefore, the ONLY action that matters is whether or not someone is saved.

Those who are not saved will only be punished for not being saved, as it is the only sin relative to where they spend eternity. outside of that eternity in hell is still eternity in hell.

If they are condemned to hell, nothing they have done to you or anyone else will be punished, because they cannot be punished more than they will be punished for not believing.

From the mortal side, it's like trying to take comfort in that someone has a sentence of 3 months in jail for theft added to their sentence of execution.

edit: I want also to make it clear that I am not contradicting the scriptures. What is said there will happen, I just personally see it as pointless.
