The purpose of god

[fr0d0]

Jeffrey Dahmer murdered and consumed numerous victims. Before he was killed in prison, he converted to christianity. This means his sins were forgiven and he was allowed in to heaven.

Essentially, he was no longer responsible for his actions. His actions were, by proxy, placed on to jesus. He no longer carries ANY responsibility for these things as jesus suffered the death for Dahmers sins.

To me, that sounds an awful lot like lack of responsibility.

1. We have no way of knowing if his sins were forgiven. But let's say for the same of argument, we know as much as God in this scenario.

2. Of course converting to Christianity doesn't also erase all of your sins. Those sins remain if you need to make right any wrongs. Prisoners will happily serve their sentences wanting to pay any debt owed. Being convicted of their guilt to a just God requires far more than is required from earthly justice. All of your private and personal life becomes open to scrutiny.

So, far from avoiding responsibility, we know that Dahmer subjected himself to more judgement that his fellow humans were aware of. He would have made right his debt to his fellow man, and to God. What objection can you have to his just judgement? Am I any better than him? Do I have more right than him to forgiveness? With my law abiding life all the time avoiding what would give me real freedom?
