1. The Bible says Jesus died for our sins.
  2. Assuming that doesn’t mean some of our sins and it means all of our sins.
  3. Therefore, Hitler goes to Heaven too.

    I’m more offended to be in Heaven in the first place. I mean, all the nutjobs were right after all? And only those nutjobs in my particular area of the world?

      Imagine getting to watch Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, and Jimmy Swaggart realize that God saved trans people, gay people, atheists, Jews, Muslims, Satanists, communists, vegans, and even people who still drink Bud Light.

      Give me an endless supply of popcorn and I’m entertained for at least an eon or two.

      I dont know, the premise doesn’t mention a god. Maybe everyone is their own god with their own personal heaven.

      For hitler this ment painting amateur paintings on most days and getting bdsm rape dominated by an elderly couple resembling his grandparents who are both wearing a kinky military uniform every other saterday.

    If everyone who ever lived is there, it’s just an afterlife… And if literally everyone goes there, being offended that some people went there would be rather pointless

      Me to my enemies in the afterlife: “you’ve got a lot of nerve being alive”

      The guys pushing “if you masturbate or use a condom you go to hell” and use hell fear mongering as their entire ideology?

        Other than the whole part where Solomon gives a litmus test to tell which parent is the real one and which is the false claimant and the false one was the one that cared about recognition even if the child died and the true parent was the one that cared more about the child living as its complete self even if that means being unknown to the child at all.

        But yeah, all the parts surrounding it about the claimed divine parent who needs to be recognized or else his alleged children will suffer eternally do kind of conflict with both the wisdom of Solomon and OP’s hypothetical.

    Buddy if the Christian conception of an afterlife is real I’m either gonna be chillin in the shade of a tree after a hard day’s work or whatever, or standing hand in hand around some multi sword mouthed geometric acid trip of a god saying “holy” on repeat in a trip that would put eating all the LSD in history to shame.

    Either way who cares.

      Acid might explain a lot of the biblical descriptions of angels. Eat a new variety of mushroom you found, sit down to continue writing down the ledger your master send you to write and instead fill the page with nonsensical rants.

    A little offended, yeah. I definitely don’t want to be stuck in the same eternal plane of existence as Hitler.

    I’d ask if I could go to the Medium Place instead and hang out with Mindy.

    I was raised LDS and while I no longer practice any religion I still think the Mormon concept of heaven is an interesting one.

    (Imma skip some of the finer details here for clarity - but I’m happy to explain further if anybody has questions.)

    Mormons believe that (almost) everyone goes to heaven - eventually. Upon death, evil people go to Hell until they repent their sins. After truly repenting and recanting their hateful ways, their soul ascends to heaven. The LDS concept of Hell isn’t one of physical tortures - Hell is simply a perfect understanding of your sins - your own shame and regret, from truly understanding the pain you inflicted upon your spiritual siblings.

    So ol’ Adolf would be left to stew in a celestial timeout, alone with the weight of his sins - from every petty insult to the pain of every child slaughtered by his command. Damned to remain there until he is truly, utterly sorry. Not the false sorrow seeking to relieve the pain of a guilty conscience, but the harrowing sorrow that comes only with the true recognition of one’s own responsibility and the willingness to do anything required to make amends and never sin again.

    Any Hitler who emerged from Mormon Hell would be a very different person from the one who went in.

    [Digression: regarding “almost” everyone going to heaven - if you want to be truly eternally damned in Mormon theology you have to follow a simple, two step process.

    1. Have a “perfect knowledge” of God - e.g. meet Him face-to-face.
    2. Act against Him anyway.

    Mostly it’s Lucifer and his minions that qualify. Maybe Judas Iscariot too. Such souls are damned to “Outer Darkness” from which there is no release. Still not a place of fire and brimstone though.]

    Offended? I’ll be really happy! It means that I’ll get to meet all my family again, even though some of them were proper twats.

    I’d be surprised I’d be allowed in there in the first place, but I guess if Hitler got there the bar to entry is fairly low.

    I’d have some questions to ask but I am guessing the complaint queue is very long considering all victims meeting their murderers in heaven and whatnot so I’ll just go have a harp lesson or something.
