That`s what stoped him, his buisness came out of fashion.
Do you think a man of such sin can repent and become a good person?
Do you think there is a stage where the human is beyond recovery?

Regardless of whatever he does going forward, he will always be responsible for what he has already done and is powerless to change. It is beyond his ability (or anyone else's so far as we know) to bring those people whose lives he ended back to life. His later "conversion" is a cheap and tawdry sidestory.
End of.

Christianity didn't stop him, it has only provided a means for him to not feel guilty about it.

If we go by scripture, the only thing sinful about his career of mass slaughter is that he didn't explicitly do it in God's name. The act of mass slaughter, itself, is by no means sinful.

1. No. repenting doesn't change jack shit. He needs to make restitution in order to become a better (not necessarily good) person.
2. Yes, a human is beyond recovery when he repents in the hopes of lessening the earthly restitution he owes. ie he is beyond hope when he thinks it helps his sin to become a christian.

Good person my ass!
Do you know what Göring did after he gave the order for the final solution?
He joined his children looking for eastereggs in the garden.
Imagine a murdercase in court where the offender sais:
But I was a nice guy after the murder.
That kind of logic is horrific and disgusting beyond any human standerd, imagine Davic Cameron visiting India and saying: "Yeah we slaughter you in the millions, but we gave you the english language"
Merkel visiting Israel and saying:"Well if it werent for us and what we did, your nation would have never gotten the vote for it`s existance!"
Crime is not repented by some fucking change of hear.
In a modern civilised sociaty one has to take responsibility for ones wrongdoings.
In a court!!! during a trial!!!

Never too late?
It was too late for him the moment he became a murderer. Genocide is just walking further and further down that road, though the punishment should be the same regardless: Lock him in a dark, windowless 6x6x6 room, feed him gruel and water and let his toilet bowl be a bucket that gets changed once a week. As should be the fate of all subhuman pieces of shit like this guy. I don't give a fuck if he converted to christianity and then stopped his psychotic bullshit, where the fuck was Jesus and god while this asshole was butchering people by the thousands?? He can convert to whatever silly fairy-tale myth he wants; far as I'm concerned he can still rot in the darkest pit we can make him dig for himself.

For all parties indeed...
...Except for the tens of thousands he's already killed. For them, it's irrelevant.

By my standards, I don't like speaking in absolutes. So, no, I'm not going to say someone is completely without possibility of redemption.
However, by Biblical standards it's a little different. Mark 3:28-29 says "28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin."
Interesting little gem of wisdom for Biblical morality, ain't it? Kill, rape, steal, whatever you do, it can be forgiven. Talk shit about the Holy Spirit and you're history. At least God's consistant here; he spends most the Old Testament letting his chosen people slaughter whoever they feel like and just gets pissed when they kiss the backside of another deity.

Tara: And THAT, mi amiga, is THE reason I went from christian teachings in regards to morality to humanist ideas on morality in my life.

Why wouldn't God forgive killing, rape and theft? It'd be mighty hypocritical of him not to.
