I believe that a man of that stripe, if he _truly_ repented for his actions, would prefer to suffer damnation rather than being accepted into the presence of God, or however you view "going to heaven". I firmly believe I would chose thusly, under those conditions.<br /><br />I think I understand the difference between being sorry because of the consequences and true repentance, but I still believe a man who truly repents would be so mortified by what he had done that he would not wish to enjoy the same benefits as those whose lives were not spent as his had been.
