What about genocide? It's "OK" as long as you get down on your knees and ask God's forgiveness? How many atrocities are possible by a people who believe they will be forgiven and they can go to heaven if they repent later?

God isn't stupid, he knows our hearts. if that is the mind-set of someone, I highly doubt that God would not know what their thoughts are before repenting. you really sell God short.

Many people claim to be about God but their actions say otherwise.
And many atrocities have been done by people who dont believe in heaven and God too so whats your point?

A repenting is soley spiritual! You still have to pay for your actions an your decisions.There are consequences for all of this, and rememebr God allows us to live in this society and allows us to be governed by men and we have to follow their laws and rules. Pay Cesars things to Cesar and Gods things to God. Example Time in Jail is your Cesars Things, for your crimes, Repenting is your Gods Things, for your spirituality!
