: ...that if someone like Hitler or Stalin had been murdered, then God would have forgiven all the evil things they did, and just let 'em into heaven? Sounds pretty fishy to me...
against Bartelby's attempt to enter the church. If God can look at his final act, and see that as repentance for his previous rebellion, I think he is in. He's human now, so he wouldn't go back to heaven as an angel, but just a human.
Martyrdom is a big key to getting out of a lot of years in purgatory.
And believe me, it took me a long time to figure out a way to get him into heaven. I was pretty sure he was stuck in hell, and I had to think of some way to get him out.
Kind of wierd since I haven't been to church in years.
I wonder if it's some kind of psychological transferrence?
