Personally I'd love to see Hitler in heaven and have a beer/wine with him Hitler was a teetotaler.

Given that we would be spiritual entities, I'd imagine there would be no reason to be teetotal. I think we need some rules for this game. I suggest the following rule: We cannot change their personalities from what they were on earth. But it's up to Cavediver to decide. If we went by the above rule, you'd be sitting there being subjected to a long barrage of ranting. You'd have a hard time working in a comment.

Heaven would be full of people who got along with each other on a level that we may not understand now. How else could there be 24 hours a day of praise and adoration and no need for football games??? I don't think I could handle it. Edited by robinrohan, : No reason given.

Re: This presents a problem
Under that scenario Pat Robertson gets into heaven, but ghandi does not.
Pat Robertson may not be sincere. Edited by robinrohan, : No reason given.

I mean, hell there is an afterlife where all those atrocities are meaningless There is a certain view I've run across which goes something like this: the happenings of this world are merely raw material, in themselves of no significance. What matters is the fate of individual souls. Edited by robinrohan, : typo. Add signature.

how many thousands of people starve to death or die of malaria or dysentery every day in the congo because of the strategic neglect of the rest of humanity? Surely you are not comparing that to what Hitler did.

hitler supported a philosophy, however flawed. but he did not by his own hand murder the rest of europe. he did not do it alone. he did it with willing and unwilling assistance and with the assistance and support of the great powers. remember, we gave him license by not stopping him earlier. we gave him czechoslovakia, we gave him poland. we didn't stop his actions elsewhere. we stood by and watched as rumors flew out. This analysis is historical hindsight. This is not how one understands the past.

single state actor model is bullshit and you know it. no one person is ever responsible for everything. Yes, assigning blame is complicated, but Hitler is a special case.

Re: NO
No he isn't... and it's very dangerous to think that way. If we start thinking this a nazi germany situation can happen again I just meant in regard to a less complicated assignation of blame--due to the situation at that time.
