I'm not a Christian, but I was wondering. Do YOU think he deserves to suffer FOREVER? Like would a million years not even be enough suffering for the like of him?

If he accepts Jesus as his savior no
otherwise yes.

JVs answer is a little more detailed than my "Nobody Knows, except him and God".

Thank you I aim to be a little more detailed.
The truth is who cares if I had the power to torture the Austrian nebish for eternity
I would use it to resurrect 6 million Jews.
Dophy Being a man of less than moderate intelligence I don't think he would learn anything by his punishment.
a waste of hellfire.

Naw, just make him watch a couple episodes of The Big Bang Theory.

On second thought, one episode. Don’t wanna be too cruel.

Neo-nazi christians would say no, and they probably would say only whites will go to heaven and the rest will go to hell.

Why Hitler in particular? Surely there are other, more generic, people we could use as an example. And if you really want to use Hitler as an example, what makes you think that Hitler was worse than a serial killer, like Jack the Ripper? Both of them killed, but Hitler's murders were indirect, and after a short while they just became a number. Of course, that does not even begin to say that he did not do anything wrong, but is Hitler a worse person because he killed more people? 6 million (the number of Jews he helped send to their deaths) is a big number, and 11 million (the estimated total number of people he murdered) is even larger, but that's all it is. A number.

That said, I personally believe that nobody deserves to suffer for eternity. In my "ideal" vision of hell, mankind's desire for wrongdoing is purged from him with a suitable, ironic punishment, leaving him a polished and reformed future citizen of heaven. So perhaps an ideal "hell" for Hitler, since you mentioned him, would be torture by numbers, and he'd always see numbers escalating, escalating, escalating, until he couldn't stand it. Then the numbers would fade, and after a brief reprieve, they would return only to escalate again. He could hear the whispers of those he killed, their sobs and screams, and feel the cold steel of a pistol against his skin, but pulling the trigger on himself would only cause pain, not distraction....

I'll stop now. Though I don't believe in it, the concept of hell really interests me, and sometimes I get too creative for my own good. :oops:

I actually like the way you think. IMO punishing people after death is pretty pointless.

I chose Hitler because he's just the most famous person who has killed a lot of people. I agree there are some killers who are qualitively worse (such as Ted Bundy) and even a few who are quantitively worse (Stalin).

According to the WW2 archives that were recolored and which passed on TV5 (A french channel), Hitler apparently gave the order to his subordinates to burn his corpse and dispose of the bones so his remains would not be an object of cult.

What if i don't believe there is an afterlife? Killing him is enough maybe. Except we all know that he is alive and well and working as a gardener in Chile where he gets his dialysis treatments from doctors who were loyal to Augusto Pinochet.

So if turned to jesus he would forgave all his sins, he would get into heaven?
I wonder how the jews would feel if they knew he was in what they call heaven right now doing whatever you do in heaven.

Is it even right for them to want him to go yo hell?

I say a person who sends a person into a fiery pit for all eternity should be ready to be in that pit too.

When i was a mormon i was taught that it is not my position to consider whether someone would be punished or rewarded for their works.

But mormons are only crypto-calvinist, not full on calvinist.
