This reminds me of a saying, "Kill 'em all! Let God sort 'em all out!"
Just because each and every person can be forgiven for their sins and saved, doesn't mean they should not be punished.
Jesus forgave the thief on the cross of his sins, but did not save his life. That is a good lesson. Forgiveness does not mean you don't have to pay for your crimes on earth, but means your immortal soul can be redeemed dispite your life of crimes.
This prompted me to think about my own behavior. Do I serve satan? Certainly not I'm a Christian. But, If I were to break it down, it would serve me well to ask myself this very question within every thought, feeling, and action. Who, at any random instant, am I serving? Is my anger toward and hatred of those who deserve it honoring God or satan? It might seem righteous to you but is it to God?
Keep your eyes on the Lord. Be in contact communication with Him.
500lb alcoholics are serving Satan. Are they on your list to exile? If not, who is?

HE, not satan, Loves YOU.
