reminds me of a similar incident with me. I was attended a Catholic church in town (Los Angeles) with my girlfriend. In the sermon the priest called for prayers for Timothy McVie, and yes-- God even loved Timothy McVie..
a made a bee-line for the door.
While it's true in the most generous terms, God wants sinners to repent, to my knowledge Timothy McVeigh never did.
Actually, God did love Timothy McVeigh, as he loves all of His Creation. But Timothy McVeigh chose to remove himself from the presence of God when he perpetrated his crime against the people in the Murrah building. If he never repented for that, then he continues to be outside of God's Love, and will be punished for all eternity.
God did love Timothy McVea. God also loves Charles Manson and OBL. God loves all his creatures. Its up to us to love Him, worship Him and do His will in return for His love.
