These are things that cannot be changed easily, it either takes a lot of time or an enormous emotional shock, losing a child for example can reshape your vision of the world for a few years and slowly come back or not. I know that if I would lose my 15 months son it could seriously change my vision of the world. Action have nothing to do with alignement, they are just the results of your tought. If I am a good person I will never kill intentionally because my conscience tell me not to. My action are not driving my mind, it's the opposite. Action more often than we want will actually do the opposite of our intention.When you say that the evil person had a revelation, yes its alignement is switching to good right away. As for the serial killer, he killed in the past, but since he talk with the paladin he is "brainwashed" Now, In his mind killing a inocent child for pleasure is unconcivable, therefore his alignement is changed. You are probably catholic, you think that you must buy your paradise with good action. Catholic churches (notice that I say church and not religion) focus more on the actions than the interior. Because it is the only way for priest to judge if you are good or evil. I expect a fantasy church to be less oriented towards the action and more towards the inside since they can actually see the real intention of their follower(Detect alignement spell). If the religion of your world judges the mortal by their action during their lives then being good for the last ten minutes of your life will not buy you the paradise. But if the god judges only with the current state of the soul than yes. But don't forget that switching alignement is much harder than simply saying, I don't feel like being evil anymore. It something deep within each of us.</blockquote>
