Jeffrey Dahmer did many wrong things in his life. He was a homosexual and a drug abuser until Christ found him. But despite these severe moral shortcomings, he never meant to hurt anybody.
Nowhere in God's word is there a provision against drugging other people and turning them into living sex dolls by painlessly drilling holes in their unconscious brains. Christ's Golden Rule allows this, as long as the hobbyist is comfortable with others practicing on him as well. Christ assures us that as long as we are following His Golden Rule, we are observing all doctrinal commands. This being so, it is clear that one of two things is true: either God could not foresee the accidental loss of life Jeffrey Dahmer caused, or He had no problem with it. Since the Bible makes clear that God is omniscient, we know it must be the latter.
Quote:
Matthew 7:12
King James Version (KJV)
12 Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.

I would also like to point out that Jeffrey Dahmer's so called acts of cannibalism were committed only after he did everything he could to keep his patients alive. He was obviously just trying to save money on groceries so that he could support his art and slake the thirst of his house guests.
All of Jeffrey Dahmer's lovers were drug users. All he did was supply them spontaneously which, while wrong in some ways, is a victimless crime. If they weren't prayerless sinners with no human rights by the metrics of the Bible, then God would have intervened on their behalf by informing Jeffrey Dahmer of their wishes, and I'm sure he would have taken them to the nearest hospital immediately.
But as we know, Christ did not enter his heart until he was persecuted for his generosity. So this must all of have been part of God's plan for Mr. Dahmer.
