Yeah, all the axe-murderers, child-molesters, rapists, etc. suddenly "see the light" or "find Jesus"......as soon as it's convienient to do so.

Taking 3000+ innocent lives cannot result in anything but an end to this person EVER seeing the outside world again, and his "conversion", if genuine, is between him and Judgement Day; not an excuse for release as "saved".

Ramzi Yousef was involved in the 1993 WTC bombing, not the 9/11 attacks.

Google the name Carla Faye Tucker ... becoming a Christian , when real, doesn’t release one from the consequences done among men. I intend to ask Carla on some where/when what she first saw when she passed over.

Exactly. If true good for him. He still needs to be punished for his crimes, though. If not, then that’s just on more thing he’ll have to answer for.

Have you ever attended a chapel service inside a prison? I have. While it's true that some inmates claim to be Christians, many truly have turned their messed up lives over to the Lord. Consider "Son of Sam," for example. Or Paul the Apostle, for that matter....

Well, they could become a Buddhist, or a devotee of the Dalai Lama, or practice Shinto, or a Confuscianist, or a Zoroastrian or a number of other religions and claim to have an elightened and better view of the world now. BUT, what difference would it make. Christianity doesn't hold any more sway there than any of the other world religions, as far as prisons are concerned.

I don't think becoming a Christian would amount to anything different happening with them, than about 100 other world relgions, as far as the warden is concerned. And thus, it's not the big deal you make it out to be -- again, as far as the warden or the prison system or the judges or the legal system is concerned.

Now, in terms of one's ultimate destiny and "life" -- it may make a big difference (in being a Christian, versus about 100 other false religions). But, within the prison system and what it's going to do, a Christian conversion makes as much difference as a Confuscianist conversion or no conversion at all. So, it's really of no consequence in any way, shape or form.

Thus, if any prisoner was making a big deal out of it, it would have to be for another reason, other than the prison sentence is concerned, or the prison system was concerned or the legal system was concerned or the judges were concerned.

Taking 3000+ innocent lives cannot result in anything but an end to this person EVER seeing the outside world again, and his "conversion", if genuine, is between him and Judgement Day; not an excuse for release as "saved".

Anyone who thinks that any kind of conversion to any of 100 other religions would make a difference doesn't really know the prison system and/or our laws, I guess...
