When I've heard this question before, my first reaction is no way, someone like that shouldn't be allowed into any kind of heaven. But then, if God is just and there is a God, it shouldn't matter, should it? I sometimes think that man in his own mind has made up this idea of hell. We want a place for our enemies to be punished. There is so much injustice in this world, people literally getting away with murder - think O.J. - that to satisfy our emotional upheaval over it all, we invent hell. Maybe there is such a place, maybe not, maybe people will be punished some more, maybe not. In eastern religions, they believe in reincarnation. That's the religion that keeps the people in check. Don't do this or that, you could come back as some awful person. Sometimes when bad things happen to them, they blame it on a rotten ancestor and certain atonements that need to be made. I'd rather not think about any of that, but just to do what I know is right, to do my best, to take care of my family as best I can and do what I can so that others do not get hurt if I can help it. Leave the judging business up to God. One thing is for sure, Berg was practicing evil and somehow all that will come back to him, one way or another.
