The big problem now is that churches are so squishy they never say, ok, you did an evil thing and you’re going to die - so repent now, or this burning (whether physical or simply the worm of sorrow and regret) will last forever if you die without asking forgiveness.
Once upon a time, the condemned person was always accompanied to the gallows by a priest (in Catholic cultures...I would assume there was frequently a minister present in Protestant cultures) so that if he hadn’t repented before then, he could do so formally at the last moment. This probably saved a lot of souls and the killers’ repentance probably also made the families of the victims feel better.
But now churches have abandoned the eternal souls of these people and stand around lighting candles to regret their passing. Stupid, stupid, stupid.
