MOSCOW, Jan. 14 (UPI) -- Russia's AK-47 assault rifle designer said before he died the pain he felt fearing he was to blame for the deaths caused by his weapon was "unbearable."

"The pain in my soul is unbearable," Mikhail Kalashnikov said in an emotional letter April 7, some eight months before he died, to the leader of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Good. Everybody needs to repent for their sin before they die. Whether our inventions are used to kill or not.

This turns him into a wonderful man. I too will invent a murderous device, and as long as I repent, I can get into heaven and be backed by the Church!

The Japanese Josef Mengele who performed thousands of ghastly surgeries on live Chinese POW's during WW2 repented on his death bed and accepted Jesus.

Free pass right through heaven's gates into Jesus' waiting arms, I'm sure. Perhaps his thousands of "patients" who were gutted alive were waiting with open arms as well.

Then I will be no different to this man. In the ground, a horrible human, who created a murderous device that kills tens of thousands.

He doesn't get any credit (in your eyes) for repenting?

If Hitler repented before killing himself, would you accept him?

You're right. You can. The atheists that looooooove to rail on how evil God is based on a misunderstanding of an OT passage then turn around and love to whine about how he is too forgiving because he forgives. Honestly...it's mind-boggling.

We honestly have no way of knowing what went on between God and Hitler. All accounts seem to indicate he died in his sin...we just don't know.
