It is very difficult to sympathize with someone who does that, though I will certainly pray for his soul.

Personally, I think that's ridiculous. I'm sure you agree that Tiller is among the people of this generation most exquisitely suited for Hell, as a consequence of his willful and repeated acts while alive. If you say his soul shouldn't be dispatched to Hell, you are pronouncing God's creation of Hell as punishment as a mistake. You are saying that God should be even more merciful than He is. That is folly and is a basic contradiction of Christian belief.

I am saying nothing of the sort.

Every person has the opportunity to repent and receive salvation at any time. Though I doubt Tiller did this, I sincerely hope that he did.

Evil exists, people don’t want to accept it.

Claiming that you are any less suited to Hell than another is folly and is a basic contradition of Christian belief.
