Will I see Hitler in heaven?

cavediver Grace for Hitler. Amazing. Makes you wonder what all the fuss of world war 2 was about not to mention the silly posturings of the Jewish people from the death camps.
I mean, hell there is an afterlife where all those atrocities are meaningless.Just think of the wonderous conversations you can have with the likes of,say, Jeffrey Dahlmer."Say jeff? When you are scarfing down a piece of human flesh and you get thirsty, do you prefer red or white wine?A heaven such as this is just as ludicrous in my view as a hell for Hitler. I mean what punishment do you inflict sufficient to balance the scales? Do you place him in a long windowless barn ,naked, and tell him he is going to have a shower? Do you place him on a battlefield to let the bullet leads rip his flesh? Or perhaps the russian front line with his own troops,starving and so cold he cannot pull a trigger?Heaven and hell are the illusions we embrace to punish and reward those that we individually value and devalue .And the greatest tragedy of it all is that we will not end the illusion.Wilfred Owen called it " the eternal reciprocity of tears".

brennakimiI am sorry, Brennakimi, for I fail to see the point that you are trying to make here. Could you please elaborate what you are in disagreement about?

brennakimi I never stated he was. That said, a person who rises to power as he did and then excercises that power the way he did, holds greater responsibility as a consequence of that power than people farther down the food chain.
The point of my tirade was that Hitler should not recieve forgiveness for his actions. Being atheist I can hardly expect such things to occur to a man long dead. I just cannot imagine the notion of release from responsibility that pervades the idea of heaven in christian worldviews. Of course he was not and that is not pertainent to the response I gave cavediver to which you inserted your opinion. I did not include Genghis Khan nor Jim Jones , Lieutenant William Calley, or Moses either but the responsibility is theirs irregardless since actions were commenced upon their orders. If I were to have access to the make believe world of the afterlife these people would be redressed in ways far more in line with the magnitude of their actions.But then I just happen to have the character fault to be that unforgiving.

iano That makes sense in the christian worldview since God is the source of evil though that also makes the standards of God to be somewhat suspect as a morally superior reference to our own. It is also the contention of christian worldview that this is a perfectly reasonable stance for God to take even though it is no different from that of the previous list of historical people.To my view that God has the ultimate responsibility for atrocities and therefore forgiveness of our sins are a ludicrous proposition since we cannot otherwise act out against the nature God instilled.It is a moot point for me to be making though it does serve to show my take on things.

iano My error.I should have said the biblical position as outlined in Isaiah Sorry for the mix up.
