Just a friendly bit of advice, though. You might want to crack open a Bible to see what Jesus has to say about things like forgiving people (even pedophiles).
You might also want to hold off on telling him he's a liberal or wrong about something before you take a look-see on what it is he says.
Knowing Jesus's stance on things is pretty important considering you're choosing your place in the after-life based on him.
But if sharing Heaven with a bunch of pedophiles is a no-go for you (understandable) you might want to look into one of the alternatives. š¤·āāļø

Not my rules. If you go by the Bible, (which seems obvious here) if you ask for forgiveness and accept Jesus as your personal savior, then you'll be forgiven and go to heaven.
I don't know of any fine print that excludes people based on their sins. If you do, I would really like to see it.
Forgiving anyone of all their sins and getting a ticket straight to Heaven is a main attraction for converting people to Christianity.
Personally, I would be happy for them to burn for all of eternity. But it's not my call who goes where.
It's difficult to hold to your standards when it comes to such reprehensible people. But I'm not going to just make up my own rules for certain people because I don't like them.
Edited to add:
Do you truly believe pedophiles will go to heaven just by you merely forgiving them?
It's not about me forgiving them. It's about Jesus forgiving them. And the Bible says if you ask for forgiveness (from him, not me. I'm not that important) he will give it.
I'm pointing out what Jesus says about it.
I'm not defending pedophiles. I'm simply pointing out facts from the Bible.
Do you think Jesus is wrong? Or do you think people should lie about what Jesus says?
Well, then go take that up with Jesus.

Other than pointing out facts, what is it that I've said you find so strange?
Or is being concerned with facts, and not feelings, what you think is out of place here?
