When it comes to the taking of ANY Human Life for ANY reason, the answer to this question is a resounding, “NO!” It doesn't matter if one is a celebrity or a homeless person or even a refugee from another country. God NEVER makes exceptions to His Judgment. And then on the other side of the question someone might be asking whether it is important for EVERY person to be “saved” in order to enter into heaven. Again, if the taking of Human Life is the ONLY passage into hell, then in fact, I say that it's what we don't do that allows us entrance into heaven. I can't judge the private life of ANY person based solely on what I know, because any given person might have secrets that are unknown to anyone other than themselves. But given what I know about ANY given person, I would suggest that while my judgments aren't God's Judgments, I CAN judge based on what I DO KNOW about ANY given person.
Some then might wonder how God will judge Prince, who just passed away yesterday morning. Here was a very talented musician who really was incredibly altruistic about his music, but keep in mind that he made a LOT of money from what he did. However, making money is NOT a sin and I understand this perfectly. And in fact, it's what I don't know about his death that would cause me to be cautious about saying HOW God will judge him. I just read a news article this morning that hinted that Prince MIGHT have had a drug overdose prior to his death, but that in fact, right now nothing about his death is conclusive. It's possible that drugs MAY have been part of the cause of his death, so in fact, I can't say for sure one way or another. But I can say what I believe and what I think based only on what I know and I think I can safely say that Prince will be in heaven performing for St. Peter, the Angels, and all the saints who reside there. Unless for some reason his death was in some way self-inflicted, then of course, I would have to change my thinking about this.
But the fact is that God judges EVERYONE the same regardless of our status in this life. We can be reprobates in every sense of the word and STILL NOT ever purposely take a Human Life. We can be the best of saints in this life, but no matter what we do, we can't be forgiven if indeed we have ever purposely taken a Human Life. Unless I learn otherwise from a reliable source about how Prince died, I can safely say that I will see him in heaven. The basic difference between myself and an Atheist is that I have HOPE for another life after death. I can't give this same hope to someone who doesn't believe. I really wish that Atheists didn't exist, but I KNOW they do. This is why God doesn't judge belief, because even those who believe don't always believe in the sanctity of Human Life. There are Atheists who believe in the sanctity of Human Life as I do. I say this is all that matters. As long as Prince believed and lived this too I will see him in heaven. I make no judgments about HOW a person has died, except to say that in some cases, I know that suicide was the reason. But if I have doubts about this, I am willing to err on the side of reason than to just say that he or she took his or her life. In Prince's case, it might be best if only God knew and I believe what it is I believe. Peace.

Bull crap, some folks just need killing. Besides I could not care less if some mythical sky man rapist judges me or not.
…King David sent Uriah to death to claim Jezebel….Murder!….Any judgement on him was only between him and YHVH. David faced no earthly judgement.
