It’s Sofie’s Choice: let people stray from God and lose 10s of millions of after-lives; or re-educate them and lose 10s of millions of lives. Rather metaphysical don’t you think?

"Let them stray" vs. "Re-educate them"

With God, it's not a numbers game. It's a loyalty game. He'd like for everyone to accept his Love and Sovereignty, but if people don't want to do that, it's on them. Last I checked, God isn't sending Michael into the middle of Gay Pride parades to wield the flaming sword of God's wrath.

Regardless, the Bible isn't Marxist.

Except ... the 10s of millions of lives lost to Marxism also, theoretically, would've resulted in the loss of 10s of millions of afterlives.
Minus the devout Christians - of which Stalin might have got a few ... but Pol Pot and Mao probably didn't hit many.

I grew up Mormon; all males are expected to go on a proselytizing mission.

The Bible, and all imaginary ideals of life, is Marxist: the family unit is Marxist.

The family unit is Marxist?
Including the common wives?

I dunno about all that.

In Mormonism, there’s Baptism of the Dead for just such occasions.

I know. I've already decided to convert to Mormonism if, in the afterlife, I find myself trapped in a waiting-room state and some of them come by and say "Last chance, you in or out"?

I dunno about all that.
The father is the unquestioned authority.
For the children, it’s from each according to their ability, to each according to their need.
Everything is shared, and if you don’t, Mom gives a Time-Out.

I feel like that's a very broad generalization. Patriarchal authority is Marxist, now?

Western Civilization is Marxist, y'all.
