I believe this is what people on forums call a "straw man". I never said anything like that. Especially when you read my post in the other thread where I spoke of doing good deeds in the name of God. Dahmer was a terrible man: he maimed and murdered, obviously breaking commandments and going against Christianity (and almost any other religion he could've been part of)
But if he had faith, and all of his sins were forgiven, what, then keeps him out of heaven? He fulfilled all the biblical requirements for salvation.
I am not putting out straw man arguments. I am simply taking your arguments to their logical conclusion. If it applies to one, it applies to all or you get tagged for special pleading.
