Late-breaking news on this topic.
I'm watching a Nova documentary, the Science of Evil, I'm right at the bit where a priest has been asked by Jeffery Dahmer to baptize him--this would cleanse him of all sins!--and he is struggling with this. He is meeting with Dahmer, and feeling a connection with him, connecting with his humanity. Haven't seen how this turns out, but I don't buy it. I don't think sociopaths have humanity in them.

You seem to have trouble understanding, it doesn't make any difference whether you buy it or not. Neither Dahmer nor the priest know you exist, much less care what you think.

there's a scripture in the bible it says something to the extint of this..
"many are called few are chosen" and another... "work out your own salvation with fear and trembeling" so I would magine that if dahmer had really done it the right way that his mind would be renewend and he would have made better choices... just becaue you follow all the steps to get "saved" dosen't mean your saved you have to wait for gods timeing and it's got to be heart felt... |

What attracts serial killers to church? Dead bodies hung from crosses and dripping blood statues? It's like Chuck E Cheese for killers!
