But is there any different judgement upon a war criminal if they are Christian or they are not?

I believe that if they were a baptized Christian, then their judgment will be many times more severe, all other things being equal.

Christ teaches that to whom much has been given, much will be expected.

Only miserable haters think people praying for them is "bad" or somehow "mean". You see/hear about people praying for others everywhere you turn, all the time...about everything. THAT is Reality. If it's "snide & insulting"...then almost everyone could be labeled as such.
It's actually a very nice thing to do...and only the darkest of personas would view it otherwise.
You all need to get hip to that.
You see "haters" as those who don't agree with you and state so.

What would be 'nicer' would be to not throw it in their face and simply pray in private for them. But, of course, you're not trying to be nice. You're simply trying to be provocative.

Have you ever read Dante? I think he was onto something with regard to heaven and hell having varying "levels".

Only miserable haters think atheists posting on the internet is 'mean, mocking, insulting, bashing'.

You need to get hip to THAT.

Wrong.
I see haters for what they are.
Disagreement is totally cool...and is universal to all, about many things.
But thanks for acknowledging that publicly busting on others nonstop for years about their differing views (that you do not agree with), and "throwing it in their face" (instead of simply disagreeing in private)....is being "not nice" and "provocative".
