Even though there is no such thing as hell, if there were, do you think Charles is there?
And do you think he SHOULD go there?

I wouldn't wish eternal torture on anyone. Maybe some finite punishment, like making them suffer what they have done to others, or since he was in prison... Well, I'm not sure what would be justice in this case, but at least he can't hurt anyone anymore and that's probably justice enough.

Probably or something less to make him learn, a type of punishment because clearly getting locked up wasn't enough for him.
Charles Mansons punishment (should he receive any) will be swift and merciful as it would be for any of us. Eternal torment of hell and pitchforks etc doesn't exist.

An all powerful God should be able to fix what was wrong with Manson. Once Manson was sane what good would punishment do?

So then, nobody deserves infinite punishment?

No. and No. His actions predicts where he goes until he dies without being reborn repeatedly.
Just had to throw that in.
That is what I said.
Nope. He was sentenced to death, but the sentence was commuted to life in prison when the death penalty was abolished in California in 1972. He served his time. I don't see any reason to drag it out further.
Well if neither is eternal, what's the point of learning the lesson at all, let alone through suffering?
And I personally don't think suffering is much of a teacher, anyway. All of the best human learning that we know about comes from constant exposure and feedback. It's how children effortlessly learn language, for example, while adults suffering through trying to learn a new language never do get it perfectly.
You made my argument for me. The feedback is by experiencing the suffering you inflicted on others so that you understand the consequences on others of your actions.

What about that Jesus guy? He is responsible for way more deaths than Hitler.
No He wasn’t. Hitler ordered the killing etc of people he opposed, Jesus didn’t
