For you Christians
Not sure why but this thought popped into my head while iHeart was plugging a podcast about a serial killer.
If a mentally ill person commits murder, do they go to Heaven? Sure, they have free will but their mind doesn't work correctly and can't tell the difference between right and wrong, right? |

The way I see it, God grants a piece of himself to those that He created: the soul. If we live to please Him, then our soul gets to return. If not, it spends eternity wandering around, alone. |

for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, (Romans 3:23, ESV)
9 because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. (Romans 10:9, ESV) |

It’s not up to man to judge the heart. I don’t need to worry about it.
What it does say is that when a man takes a life, not in war or self defense, that man’s life is forfeit and he is to die…no mention of mental illness as an excuse |

Heaven is for sinners. So you must go ON sinning.

When you die, you cease to exist, there is no afterlife in heaven or hell or anywhere else.

Sadly, I agree. I wish there were something noteworthy that happens after you die, but there just isn't. I think that religion is just that last relic of the ancient times that attempts to keep people civil (guiding principles) and reduce chaos. Unfortunately, I think it has the opposite affect. Religion is extremely divisive and has caused more death throughout humanity than every war we've ever had as a species. Sad that human kind won't let it go. I suppose they don't because the thought of spending eternity with their deity makes death suck less.

There is zero evidence to prove otherwise. Having said that, I disagree with Ronin. The societal influence of Christianity on western civilizations has produced the most prosperous, peaceful, happiest, stable, wealthiest societies ever. This is all voluntary. But that is all being stripped away to be replaced by the religion of Marxism, which is pure evil. We have 100 years of world history showing that. Marxism is NOT voluntary, quite the opposite. There will always be some governing authority: We can govern ourselves via inner morality or be governed by external authorities with jackboots and clubs. |

According to this place, it's determined by which side of the political fence your nuts are swinging on.

I am not big on grace and mercy, as I feel your actions are you character, it is who you are, change how you behave and there is no need for much forgiveness.
But, according to the life and actions and teachings of JESUS CHRIST, all can be fogiven upon request, regardless of what you or I think,,, and I think not. Quote:

I'm a "big picture" guy and view western civilization mostly from the founding of this country up until Marxism got a foothold in our culture 50 or so years ago, and unleashed the evil we are living with now.
