[Straight Vermonter]

The spiritual works of mercy are:

To instruct the ignorant;
To counsel the doubtful;
To admonish sinners;
To bear wrongs patiently;
To forgive offences willingly;
To comfort the afflicted;
To pray for the living and the dead

It's never merciful to allow someone to go to hell.

[Amendment10]

"It's never merciful to allow someone to go to hell."

Good point. G-d had told the prophets to warn against sin.
