    Far greater in his atrocities than Adolf Hitler?

    Was Drake drunk when he said that, or was he simply suffering from oxygen deprivation due to having his head up his ass?

    Now I am sad that he went to hell...

    I wonder if Drake is familiar with "Judge not lest ye be judged"? I'm no longer religious, but I recall that deciding who is or isn't going to hell isn't up to us mere mortals.

    He could have chosen Jesus Christ and when he died went to heaven.

    Dr. Tiller was on his way into church when he was murdered. Of course it was a Lutheran church, not Southern Baptist, so in Drake's mind, perhaps being a Lutheran doesn't count as being a Christian.

    I have a strange hunch and a strange feeling that there is a special, superheated, super-hot place in hell for people like George Tiller.

    I don't believe in hell, but if I did, I'd wager that people like Wiley Drake and Scott Roeder are far more likely to have rooms reserved in that place than would Dr. George Tiller.
