- You are, of course, welcome to your suspicions. I haven't particularly
- concerned myself one way or another with how people react to my opinions
- or explanations, with perhaps some exceptions.

- I do however suspect that a lot of Christians would also believe that
- no one knows what Hitler's final eternal destiny is, and that the in-
- junction to refrain from judging others would apply, even in his case,
- and, I am sure, in the case of many holders of apparently even more
- vile beliefs than his.
