i still think the idea of a vengeful god - whether that vengeance is exacted before or after death - is absurd, though.  |
I believe that in order for God to be true, he would have to be balanced. I hate to bring up the Hitler example...but I believe we all can agree the man was the devil. I cannot, and could not believe that an open-armed welcoming, loving God was waiting for Adolf after he shot himself. I believe there is vengeance and "payback" for the atrocities he chose to commit in this life. Hitler made those choices...therefore the "vengeance" i'm referring to was brought upon himself. He chose it for himself, not God.
If a man broke into your home, and murdered your family...and then shot himself...do you believe that man would be welcomed into "heaven"?
