If you were in the right circumstance(presently these are impossible) would you have mercy on a misguided soul, or just obliterate the evil villain?

That is a difficult question. In regards to Hitler, no I would not have any mercy. Anyone else, it would probably depend on the situation and exactly what the person had done. Everything is circumstancial.

I'm not sure, I would have to view the situation, assess what happened. Even if it was ppossible to make Hilter see the error of his ways, I don't think that he would deserve a second chance. Let other's learn from his mistakes but I really don't think he would.

Hi!
I find it difficult to hold grudges, as almost everyone has redeeming qualities on which I'd prefer to focus. Hitler, however, caused so much horror in the world, I don't think I could muster up any sympathy for him at all. He was a monster!

I don't think a man capable of murdering a few million people deserve some sympathy. But who am i to judge him? Hitler did what he thought was right. I believe no man is born evil and just like any man Hitler is just an ordinary person. Several things lead him to his thinking and other people are to be blamed as well. But i'm not casting the first stone. Cheers!

Our place is not to Judge, but to forgive. Love thy neighbor as we love ourselves, and to Love our enemy. We should not agree if they are not our values that we hold, but maybe make suggestions as to the Godly principles that he did not have. Always pray for healing to take place with all of Gods lambs in the world. It is still not forgotten as to what has taken place during his existence on Earth, and since this is still present on some minds please pray.
