Daily Newspaper reflections "Hilter in Heaven"

There was a CNN article this morning about the man convicted of the 1963 bombing of a church that killed four girls. He has died in Prison. I read the article and saw a quote from one of the victims siblings husbands. In it he said he hoped the murderer was "SAVED".

Here is an exerpt from the article
...The September 15, 1963, explosion killed Addie Mae Collins, Carole Robertson and Cynthia Wesley, all 14, and Denise McNair, 11. Collins' sister, Sarah Collins Rudolph, lost an eye in the blast but her husband expressed sorrow that Cherry had died.

"I hope he was saved. I hope he repented," George C. Rudolph said.

Now being a humanist, this brings up a question. Does he really want to see this killer in Heaven? This is one of those things that bothers many of us freethinkers. Serial killers, rapists and the other such "evil" people can go to heaven as long as they confess and are "SAVED" Meanwhile someone like me who is a good law abiding citizen will never see the gates of Heaven because we don't "believe". Go figure.
