<<Most lowlife dictators live long lives and are probably granted forgiveness after a long life of crime, because they are repentant in their later years.>> You are again speaking for God with no authority to do so. You can't know that they are forgiven in their later years. If that is in fact the plan they have they will fail. Robert, I don't want to hear all your ridiculous spins on religion, again. However, I suspect this was a naive mistake rather than something intentional. I could be wrong about your intentions. I know you love to spin religion, like your take on the benevolence of aborting infants. Many, of the dictators we talk about are Muslim. The Quran specifically states that anyone with the plan to live their life in sin and then repent in old age will fail. It doesn't say that people can't have a sincere conversion to worshipping God and thus be forgiven, it just says that the plan to circumvent the principles of living a righteous life with a plan like this, will fail. I suspect there are comparable texts in Judaism and Christianity. Of course such a caution wouldn't be in the scriptures if there weren't going to be people who do just that.
