Becc, Abaris and KevinM gave me my first kudos for this post
My most recent kudo came from Drich.
I am a kudo giving machine. Most of the commenters on this site are intelligent and thoughtful so there are multiple times when I want to like everything you all have said on various threads. Lately, I have been trying to be more discerning in who I give kudos but all of you keep making either funny or intelligent comments that deserve all the kudos I can give.

When I was a Christian, I was taught that there would be no jealousy or anger in heaven because people are changed once they enter heaven and no longer feel such emotions. Why couldn't bible god change Hitler and other evil people so that they are peaceful, loving people just like he will the believers? Christianity is supposed to be about love and forgiveness and I would guess those traits aren't believe to stop at death.
However, even if you believe that people don't change before they enter heaven, why would the punishment have to last forever? Wouldn't most people admit their crimes and beg forgiveness after a few months in hell? Why can't god just forgive them at that point?
