If there truly is a hell, I would think there is a reason for it's existence. If so, then I see justification for placing scumbags of that caliber in that very place. That being said, I do not expect such people to be at the side of the Lord if and when I lay eyes on him. The question is moot.

Regards bringing victims back, true, no amount of anger, vengeance etc. will do so, however, neither will a bushel full of forgiveness.

Properly directed anger will however, quell the thirst of many a father.

Properly directed vengeance to the source will in fact reduce and delay additional incidents of this type.

Murder of innocents singly or en mass has no place, period. Perps need to eliminated as they are identified.

I gather then that you do not believe in the redemption of man?

We will just agree to disagree. I believe that anything can be forgiven by God provided that forgiveness is asked for, and true remorse and repentance are expressed. That is my belief it may not be yours.

In none of my posts have I suggested that he should not be prosecuted and held responsible for his evil acts. Vengeance is not the same as justice and it is my hope that he is held accountable by our justice system for his evil.
