I mean, at the end of "Knee-Deep in the Dead" he is killed.
And in the next episodes, "The Shores of Hell" he is, in fact, in Hell.

As a DOOM fan, I know that he was sent to Mars because he refused to kill civilians who were harmless, so he assault his superior officer.

That fact proves, that, at least, he has some morality.

But, most of the fans, agree with the idea that DOOM universe is based on Christianity perception. Now, if this is right, he had to be a very bad person, because If he at least repent of his sins, he may be sent to Purgatory (this fits with Catholicism POV, most protestants will not agree)

But anyways, just bad people who don't repent goes to hell.

I now that, as the story continues, he becomes a hero.

Anyways, what you guys think?

With Hell taking over and actually having the power to manipulate anything it touches, I'm sure whatever forces Hell has can make Doomguy go to hell as it/they please. I'm sure a lot of the UAC personnel weren't bad people, but ended up suffering because of that.

Um I think your thinking about this too much, a lot of the game is certainly inspired by certain Christian depictions of Hell, but it isn't really serious. There's no mention of Heaven, angels, 'you shalt not kill' etc. Simply an alternate dimension of horror filled with evil monsters to blast with your shotgun.

If you were to take this direction then Doomguy would be some sort of badass SuperPope blasting Beelzebub with a glowing crucifex and forcing imps to repent, absolving their sins.

I don't think fraggle unbanned you just so you could continue to flog dead horses. He also suggested that you post less. I'd suggest a lot less.
