You have my profound sympathies. I can only imagine what it's like to possess that degree of self-loathing and such a bizarre concept of justice.

Or seeing him as a victim of bullying. It'd be pretty ironic to see him as a beat up kid or victim of bullying considering what he did in those concentration camps to millions of innocent people and families.
Even so, what's the point in eternal suffering? Once the person being punished "gets it," fully comprehends the crime, why continue to punish?
I have a zero-tolerance stance on hell. I believe that no one deserves eternal punishment -- no exceptions.
