Say you were there when bin Laden was caught. He falls on his knees and begs forgiveness for all his sins. Then he accepts Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior. Will you forgive him? Or will you shoot him?

Aside from a slightly different angle on bashing Christians how is this a political topic?

I'm not bashing Christians. And it is a controversial topic. So it belongs under "Politics and Other Controversies".

It's a question of faith and application of beliefs. Nothing political about it.

You should be posing this question, to those children who lost a Parent on that fateful day, A Wife or Husband who had to rasise their babies or children alone, because on that fateful day, they were killed. Some children lost both aprents. People lost their Mothers or Fathers on that day, Grandparents were killed, a Sister or a Brother, why not ask those who lost a love one how they feel.

Somehow it is not for me to judge, for our maker will determine his fate, however i have a hard time even in Osama's ending, that he would become a change Man.

You ought to be asking God if he will forgive him, would like to hear his answer.

Well according to the Bible (New Testament), God would have forgiven bin Laden if he had asked for forgiveness and accepted Christ as his Lord and Savior. This is basic Christian doctrine. It can't get more basic than that. If bin Laden actually did this before he was killed, he could be in heaven by now, in the bosom of Jesus Christ.

As a good Catholic I would absolve him of his earthly sins then send him to meet his maker. I believe I was sent there as a holy avenger meting out Gods will.

WHAT?!?

Its as stupid as the fantasy the OP provides.
