If so, why? After all, Hitler was responsible for the deaths of over 6 million people, and he was able to take the easy way out and kill himself before the Allies could get to him. Do you think that he got what he deserved?

non_moritati: Actually, I think they probably would have executed him. Several of his henchmen were put on trial in Nuremberg, and many of them were sentenced to die.

In general, what goes around does come around. In other words, actions have consequences, and often circuitous ones. There is nothing superstitious about taking this view.
It's a very different thing to say that everyone gets what he deserves. That would require some sort of mystical scale in which all our actions are weighed. There is no such scale. We don't get what we deserve; we get what we get.

While there are instances, every now and then, that would tend to confirm your hypothesis that "what goes around, comes around," the fact is there are many more instances of people escaping the justice they deserve. Five percent of the people in the US have approximately ninety five percent of the wealth, yet despite being so wealthy they feel no obligation to help the most needy in our society. Instead the wealthy manipulate the rest of us through the media to ensure that the poor do not get the health care they merit, that public education remains sufficiently mediocre to ensure another generation of minimum wage drones, and that their taxes remain low while the rest of us sweat paying ours. They have the best justice that their wealth can buy while the rest of us have to play by the rules and are most likely to lose. The wealthy have made a mockery of American democracy by manipulating the flow of information through the media and thus coopting the choices the people might make, and by directly courting government favour through special interest groups.
There is no evidence that these wealthy few will ever reap the justice that perhaps they most deserve.

Its called Karma. What he did not get in this life, he's getting in the next. He could be the roach I stepped on last night, or the rat that got hit by a truck or the worm that got eaten by some chicks in the country... you'll never know what karma has in store for you so do only good things to other people or you might just end up as the flea on an warthogs behind.

If there is one truth in the world, it is 'What goes around, comes around'. How did Hitler die? Defeated and alone. Look at Saddam Hussein. After being all-powerful, he was dragged from a hole in the ground. There are zillions of examples. In Colombia, where I live, they had possibly the richest, most powerful drug dealer the world has ever known. He let loose a reign of terror, killing presidential candidates, judges, politicians and hundreds of ordinary people. He was shot dead on a roof somewhere in his underwear. What a way to go! (Pablo Escobar)
Yeah, thank the Lord, 'What goes around, comes around'.

Also functions very well in relation to good. Do good, and good will come to you.

Yes I do believe it, I also believe in reincarnation.. Just because he killed himself doesn't mean he got off lightly. First of all to take one's own life has serious consequences. He may be spending eternity in the worst kind of hell. And for those who do bad in this life and die happy, I believe they come back as the type of person (victim) they were unkind tonext time.. For example if you are a rapist today, die of old age later, I think you'll be reborn as a person who gets raped yourself.

Well, what do you think the Allies would've done to him? They would've been "civilized" and put him in prison for the rest of his days so he could read books, watch TV, and eat three square meals a day. If you believe in Hell, he's getting his just desserts right now...

The Bible says that the wages of sin is death. It doesn't differentiate between one sin and another or how many sins. It just states that the wages of sin is death. Hitler sinned, he died. Debating whether he should have died one way or another or if he suffered enough is a waste of time and effort. Hitler stole enough lives. Don't let him steal from you by wasting your precious time thinking about him.

sure does come around, you can't go round planting the seeds of evil and won't get cornered one day. Hitler? He has the least to do with why I believe in this. I can think for myself.

...nope, but I believe all are resurrected from the dust of the grave, and that judgement day will be 5OO years long and will however turn out to be "the Day of Atonement" for all.. And some bad and/or stubborn cases will have a (temporary) swim in the purifying lake of fire.

No, but I,m sure the world is glad he,s gone. As for your question, I strongly believe it does, because alot of people I know are dead now, & they died too young, but some, only some were not very nice people, I don,t know why but I want to believe god took them to save us from them. Only my opinion.
