[If a child-rapist repents, he'll go to heaven, but if the children he raped become atheist because of the rape, they'll go to hell. How is that justice?]
If the rapist finally came to God after a life of spiritual misery, he earned it.

What a twisted god to put those two together for all enternity and this goes to show that god/jesus has been arrested and in prison these past decades ... so many criminals find thim there.
This kind of crap is exactly why my brain was a trainwreck when I believed in x-tianity. How can a decent person reconcile this kind of thinking without becoming a spiritual zombie or a raving maniac?
I suppose, given enough contrivances and assumptions about the nature of heaven, that might just about make some vague form of perverted sense.
First off, if the kid was an actual Christian, not a follower of the corrupted form of filth your religion has become, he probably wouldn't take too much comfort in the whole "Hell" thing. Did you miss the part about turning the other cheek? Or loving your enemies? Or forgiveness?
Odd, I thought Christianity was against pedophilia? Or is it just the Non -Christian pedophiles they don't like?never consider rape, let alone of a child , but because I'm not Christian, I go to Hell.
However, there could be a man, an utterly despicable son of a bitch, who rapes, kills, and then eats children, but if he repents, the bastard gets into Heaven.
If that's how the religion works, then I'm glad I have no part in it.
Any concept of God, if taken to extremes, becomes insanity. Thank you, Ethan, for yet more evidence of this.
Well, it's a rather emotionally-charged example, but the underlying principal is not really that fundie. All Christians believe that if you turn away from God, you will not be admitted to Heaven, regardless of whether they are fundie or not. After all, why bother to be a Christian if you think that there is no end-reward for it? Heaven and Hell is just an abstract "carrot-and-stick" approach to morality in the first place.
I would like to nominate this as a "The F**ked Up Fundy" Award. It's a new award (I just made up), and this one deserves it!
As an atheist, I don't believe in God so the particulars of Xian theology are moot, however, for those who desperately want to believe in a deity... why pick this one?
First of if the child become a atheist .He or she could gave a rats ass about your god and weak unoriginal promise of heaven and a after life,

Props to Novum, Redhunter, MILF-chan, Ed, and Broken Egg for expressing my various thoughts on this matter so well.
NotMe and David- Yup, Mark Twain said that one. Wrote it, more likely, but anyhow.
Seriously, I don´t think that Heaven is a disco place or a lounge. The question is that repenting has to be real. And the rapist HAS to do his best to heal an emotional wound which is indeed very troubling. I am not going to talk to you in depth because your speech lacks argumentation. Only just the fact that it was Jesus the guy who said that you can´t say God, God, and not do his will. In other words, faith without works is void and the rapist is not going to heaven just because he goes to church. He has to understand the double trouble he has caused physically and morally. If he doesn´t, he is not going to heaven.
I guess I am going to hell then, since i was abused as a child, and I am no longer a christian because of all the pedophiles who take refuge in that sham of a religion.
Broken Egg said: "However, there could be a man, an utterly despicable son of a bitch, who rapes, kills, and then eats children, but if he repents, the bastard gets into Heaven."
Excuse me, but wishing that any criminal, no matter how bad his crimes are, would burn in hell sounds vindictive to me.
Redhunter:
The example and Redhunters Jeffrey Dahmer quote actually made perfect sense to me.
The utter insanity of Ethan's 'beliefs', and Christianity as a whole, can be summed up thusly:

With the emphasis on MENTAL .
Ergo, Atheism. QED.
"The kid, if he believed in God, would've been comforted by the fact that the man's actions are worthy of hell,"
Yeah, I'd be comforted too if I found out that the universe was created by an omnipotent, omniscient being who will send people to a place of eternal torture because their distant ancestors ate a piece of fruit, or they told a little white lie in preschool.
"only to meet up with the rapist in heaven and work on their emotional relationship."
I can just see them going out for lunch together to chat about it.
Wow.
The only thing I can say before succumbing to a vengeful rampage to track down the person that even thinks this way, is that such a reunion must be the mother of all awkward reunions.
I wonder how Jesus would react when asked about it...
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
