would god allow him into heaven? What if any of the children he molested and killed were being raised atheists, would they go to hell despite being children?

Actually, you're right, according to christian law, his entire life of despicable and evil works would be nullified because he said he was sorry once (and not even to anyone he hurt), while the child who never knew that there was a question to ask will suffer eternally for not asking the question. Awesome, loving and all powerful, don't you agree? What an awesome god....only not.

Isaiah 1:18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
The word of God found in the Holy Bible teaches that no matter what a person has done, if they truly repent, then they will be forgiven. Romans 10:13 For "Whosoever"shall call upon the name of the Lord, shall be saved.
You will find no Children in hell! Our God is a righteous and just God.
You on the other hand have heard the truth, that you are a sinner, and that you must make Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior in order to escape the fires of hell.
I would like to add, none of us asked to be born into this world and have the curse of sin put upon us. God knows this, that is why he sent his Son to take our place
There is something very wrong in the mind of a person that becomes a pedophile serial killer wouldn't you agree? Maybe he was sexually abused as a child, beatened senseless time after time, day after day. Something caused this person to go off the deep end. That is why there will be a judgement day.
This person will have no memory of the evil he did here on earth in heaven.

I do not agree with "godless" The belief in God is the best to embrace for humankind.Imagine a world with no such belief and conviction.! Societies would collapse and people run amok.
Recall your verses. Jesus came and died for all. The sins of the father are not meted on the children anymore as it was in the Pentateuch. Salvation through Christ is enough for all. Repentance is a matter of conscience.

Yes, pedophile serial killers go to heaven as long as they are Christians. It's okay, though. Atheist children don't want to spend eternity with pedophiles or killers, or a God who drowns and slaughters babies. Given a choice, Hell is definitely the better destination.

There's a story that was told by a prophet similar to the scenerio you present here about a murderer who was old and tired and bored with killing, he had killed 99 people, that he decided to find salvation and a way to cleanse his bloody hands. He went to a monk who heard his story and the monk told him to just forget it, there was no way he could find peace. This so angered the murderer that he just strangled the monk to death. He went to another monk who told him that perhaps if he spoke with a religious leader in another village, that leader would be able to inform him how to cleanse his hands. On the way to the next village, this murder died. The angels of hell and the angels of heaven came to take his soul. A dispute began because the angels of hell claimed that he was such a murderous man, he deserved to go to hell. The angels of heaven however claimed that he was driven with such sincere intent to find God's grace and mercy and that he sought forgiveness so determinedly, that he ought to go to heaven. And so they argued loud and long, though both were right and all were wrong. They decided to ask God where this murderous man's soul went. They asked God and the angels were told to measure the distance from the village he had left to the spot he had fallen and from the spot he had fallen to the village he was going to. If he was closer to the village he was trying to reach, he is the property of the angels of heaven and if not, he would be taken by the angels of hell. This they did. They found that the murderous man was one hands-length closer to the village he was going to in search of forgiveness and mercy . He was one hands-length farther from the village he had left. Thus, the angels of heaven took his soul because of his intent to reach God.
Regarding the children, they will not be taken into account for their parents' doings, raising thenm as aetheist. They go to heaven

If the worst criminal imaginable repented..truly repented from his heart..and if God deemed that was the case..that person could end up in heaven. Jesus died for the sinner..even the worst one...people will be accepting Jesus on their death bed even..God judges the hearts of these people.....anyone who honestly and truthfully realizes they have done wrong and turn to Christ and accept him as their Lord and saviour after repenting..yes...they are cleansed and forgiven of their sins.
God loves little athiest children too..he judges also on the amount of knowledge people have of Him. He will have plans for children who have not known Him.
Remember that when satan was thrown out of heaven..he could have repented and been forgiven too....I know it is hard to understand and also hard to swallow..but we think with a human emotional mind...we cannot see what God sees..nor understand that kind of forgiveness. Remember the thief on the cross....he was forgiven too...look at the horrible kinds of people who were forgiven in the Bible too.
It is hard for us to understand that people who do such shocking crimes, can actually have a change of heart and truly be sorry....that is why God is the ultimate judge and not us.

Terrible things happen to people and some look back and hate the same God who is near them that other rape and torture victims have come to love. God knows who will come to love him and who won't.
Sorry I just now understood your question. Children are innocent of sin until they reach the age where they can fully reason right and wrong. They are not under the law and where there is no law sin is not imputed to them and if they should die they would go to heaven.

There is only one thing that will keep someone out of heaven....not trusting Jesus for full payment for their sin so in short the answer is yes, he or she would be given eternal life.
This would happen only if they were sincere and not just going through the motions.
Although there is no Biblical "prove" knowing the nature of GOD would strongly suggest that any child would be given eternal life until they became aware of their need to trust in Jesus. The Word of GOD does declare that the very nature of things declares there IS a GOD so those who deny it are without excuse. (Romans chapter 1)

Remember a person who hates is much weaker than one who does not hate. It takes more strength to love another person than it does to hate another person. Love is hard and full of worries and trials.
Hate is easy and causes one not to worry.
As for any one who is a pedophile become a prosecutor and ask him or her yourself, put your feet to work instead of shooting off your mouth. This refers to Muhammad (peace be upon him) of course he was, you want to know more just dig up his bones, ask him yourself. Now perform that feat if you may. By the way your eyes aren't red enough. As for the kids what do you care? It is not your concern. Hmmm I wonder "Super" ,"Wonder"?

The death penalty is wrong.
There are rumors that for the catholic church pedophilia is not a crime.
Of course atheist go to hell. Being molested by a priest is not a valid excuse to become one.
God moves in mysterious ways.
