It's not for me to say.
First, I'd have to believe in Hell, but that's not the issue here.
The unpalatable truth that nobody seems willing to face is that he followed his life's purpose.
Horrible, though it is, to admit, his life's 'path' was to do what he did.
Throws predestination into a whole new light, doesn't it?
I'm not going to judge him, his actions, or his motivations.
Too many scared and angry words have been written about him by now.
The simple truth is, he did what he did.
It is up to us, left behind, to do one of two things;
Grieve, appropriately, or ghoulishly discuss and distort every detail and half truth of the 'story'.
I know what I have chosen to do.
I feel sorrow for the people who Really are involved in this tragedy.
I feel sorry for the people who are not actually directly involved, whose lives are so empty that they have attached themselves, leech-like to this tragedy in a hope of sharing in the 'drama'.

I don't think anyone deserves hell. Especially an eternity in hell. Some people do horrible things, sometimes the reasons they do them are understandable, not acceptable, but you can maybe try to understand why they have done them. I really don't think anyone deserves to suffer forever. I'm not a judge though. And I would never want the responsibility.

He proved that he is the Manic with case of Last stage of Lunacy. I wonder how no body could notice any abnormality in his behavior. While he was in the premises for so many years it is quite likely that those around him must have noticed some abnormality. Only thing is that we tend to ignore such thing or do not want to get involved which ultimately result in such distardly brutal act. There is a lesson to learn that there is some one around who can be as dangerous as the killer we have only to be very alert and watch closely.
I just can not imagine the grief of those relatives who have lost their budding kins. May god care for them.
The killer has already escaped by killing himself.

We can not say what he deserves. That is only for God to say. We do not know what that mans state of mind was. If we are to say "he killed those people and deserves hell" then we are going against what Jesus teaches us in John 8:15-16, not to judge others by appearances. This man appears to be sinful, but if his mind was in such a state that he could not think rationally, then only God can say if his actions are sinful.
God bless,

you're assuming that one and all Christians have self assurance the comparable issues approximately hell. The view of hell maximum ordinarily held and probable the only one time-commemorated via the non-believing public is that hell is a place of never-ending actual torture. besides the incontrovertible fact that, many Christians honestly view Hell as separation from God. If we reject God in our lifetime, then our immortal souls can't be in His presence as quickly as we die. Did you ever see the action picture Ice Age (2, i think of)? there replaced into this scene the place the squirrel is in squirrel heaven and there is that vast, sparkling acorn? this is absolute perfection, all he ever needed in his life. merely in the previous he can attain it, he's extra lower back to earth. nicely, that's what hell may be like. The language used interior the Bible to describe the torments of hell is metaphorical. Being interior the presence of your applicable, eternal, author is heaven, and the darkness of being denied the mild of God is hell. besides the incontrovertible fact that, you may likely be between associates, and there might actually be no Christians there, so perhaps you may choose that. Then, there are those Christians - which incorporate seventh Day Adventists - who have self assurance that hell is ceasing to exist. Believers will take transport of eternal life in Heaven, and non-believers will merely die. so which you notice, there are concepts to the classic theory of hell. it incredibly is accessible to be a Christian and not have self assurance in a God who tortures His infants with burning fire for eternity.

The Bible tells us everyone does..."For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." Personally, I would not wish hell on anyone, but I can't judge hurting people who hope he is there...I guess but for the grace of God, we are all headed there, and the only way out is also found in the Bible..."For if you believe in your heart and confess with your mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, you shall be saved."
Good question and a hard one to answer...can you accept a God who would offer salvation to someone we would judge a monster? can you accept a God who would send a "good" person to hell who has not believed and confessed and therefore been saved? The Bible tells us that God's ways are not our own..we cannot comprehend them. But I'm sure thankful that God's plan for salvation is not limited to those we judge worthy, but to ALL who believe. I'm so glad He is the one who wrote the book and not someone with a faulty mind and heart like mine!

Yes he does. God says " Thou shall not Kill"
He killed over 30 people and wounded 15.
He not only killed people but brought pain upon the family and friends of the victims. All over the nation. All over the world. He caused all this pain and affliction. He will pay for what he has done.

According to my religion , one should be punished according to their mistake .... for example, if a person killed an innocent soul... this person definitely should be killed.
The reason why Islam has such rules , because when other criminals see the punishments ...they wont have the guts to repeat it ..as a result .... people are safe!
