I Don’t Want to Go There

“Mom, did Jeffrey Dahmer become a born-again Christian before he died?” asked Jonny. 

“He said he did,” his mother answered.  

“So he went to heaven?” 

“If he became a believer, then yes, I guess he did.”

“Did the people he murdered go to heaven too?” 

“I suppose those who were Christians did.”  

“But weren’t some gay? Pastor Bob said all gay people are going to hell.”  

“That’s an awful thing to think about, son. Why are you asking me?” 

“Well, if a killer like Dahmer goes to heaven after everything he did, then I don’t want to go there.
