This is where I get all wierded out about religion. He is already saved,
so his actions can't condemn him? So, what did he do to earn this
apparent inability to commit any more sins?. Or am I reading this wrong?

It's like the Mafia bosses who raped, murdered, prostituted etc etc for
60 years and then, on their death bed confess, admit they have sinned
and apparently get the express bus to heaven. It just seems way too
easy, and thus shallow and meaningless, and of no benefit to ensuring a
better world.

I am reminded of Groucho Marx's comments. Any religion that would make
it that easy to be saved, I wouldn't want to be part of. Of course, I am
probably missing something. Heaven, almost certainly, as I don't think a
two minute confession or a 2 hour born-again experience is sufficient to
wipe away a life of sin. If I, of course, had lived one, which I will
neither confirm nor deny.
