Richard Nixon, the US President sent hundreds of thousands of his people to their deaths in Vietnam, and for that you'd expect that he'd go to Hell.
Well you're wrong. Through prophecy we have received a message from him in Heaven, and the only reason he got there was because as a very young child, he accepted Jesus and believed in Him.

Believe in Jesus now, do horrible things later, face no consequences! Yeah, that's just.
Honestly, I don't think I'd want to go to 'heaven' with the likes of Reagan and Dahmer and the fundies. It wouldn't exactly be heavenly.
So you can communicate with people in heaven, and the best one you can find to talk to is Nixon? Nice...
This is why Christianity fails. It's such a copout. No matter what you do wrong, you're instantly wonderful again as soon as you say you're sorry. "Oops, I killed that guy. Sorry, God." *ten minutes later* "Oops, I killed another guy. Sorry, God." Yeah, that's healthy.
NIXON: I am not a crook. After all, as a very young child, I accepted Jesus and believed in Him. Take that, Democratic Party!!!
Warmongering for Jease. Breaking and entering for Jease. Lying for Jease. Taking Jease's name in vain for Jease.
"Sorry about all that, Jease. Nothing personal."
"the US President sent hundreds of thousands of his people to their deaths"
More like fifty, but what the hell ...
So, the Viet Nam war (let's ignore all the facts for a second) war occurred because Nixon accepted Jesus as a child?
Yet another reason to ignore this Jesus of yours.
And, guess who else probably has the same thing going for him: Hitler. Make sure you high five him when you get into Heaven, and watch the Jews that he killed burn for eternity. That's how you get your kicks, right?
(I know...low-blow. But, hey...if it's good enough for Ben Stein...)
Statement A: Nixon believed in Jesus and accepted him into his heart.
Statement B does not reconcile with Statement A.
Your beliefs drive your actions. Accepting Jesus is not some miraculous get out of jail free card your pastor tells you it is. It doesn't mean you can do whatever you want. It means you now strive to live like He did.
Starting wars was not something Jesus was particularly into.
Well, as a very young child I believed in Jesus too, and Santa Claus, and the tooth fairy. So I guess it doesn't make any difference to Mr. J that I now think he's about as real as Paris Hilton's dignity, hence I'll get into heaven without having to spend one more iota of my life being 'Christian'.
Well, makes a nice change from being told I'm going to Hell, I suppose.
It was President Eisenhower who Put us in that war and US
The issue I would wonder about is not whether Nixon had accepted Jesus, but whether Jesus would have accepted Nixon.
Somehow, I doubt it.
And if he did accept him, or any other corrupt or evil person who just spoke the right password before he died, that's not a "saviour" I would want to worship anyway.
Yep, rape, murder, pillage, as long as you get that death bed conversion in, you're doing all right.
And it's the atheists that are considered immoral.
And Nixon was a Quaker, are you saying that the Quakers are the one true religion? They're also the ones who invented solitary confinement for prisoners. Although I understand the idea behind it, it didn't exactly work out the way they thought it would.
By your own holy book is your lie made clear.
James 2:20
He may have accepted the jew on a stick, but his poor follow-up of generally not being a good person would certainly have doomed him if there was a god and a hell.
Which proves the point I've often made -- you can be a mass-murdering psychopathic liar and still get into Heaven. If you're a good person, kind, and help others for the sheer joy of it, and happen to be a Witch, well, you're fucked.
EDIT: @Davidius -- Jew-on-a-Stick! I laughed so hard I damn near asphyxiated! (Damn flu!)
See, this whole thing about how you can be a sadistic, murderous bastard and still get to heaven if you just accept Jesus kind of doesn't work with the moral superiority you try to pull over non-Fundies.

Got news for you 'Pro-Life' fundies.
Guess who it was who signed into law Roe vs Wade - making abortion legal - in 1973?
Richard 'I am not a crook!' Nixon.
Enjoy your Catch-22, dancingdogturd666. >:D
And he still had a higher approval rating than Donald Fart: prior to his resignation after Watergate.
Romans 13:1-5 not working out for ya, eh Wiggy...?! [/Comey & Rogers]
“Well you're wrong”
“Through prophecy we have received a message from him in Heaven,”
“and the only reason he got there was because as a very young child, he accepted Jesus and believed in Him.”
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
