Christopher's point stands
Christopher's point seems to be that if an action is justified in the context of that person's belief system, then the rest of us must respect that action. The example I am pointing out is extreme, but that is intentional. The holocaust was justified in the context of Hitler's belief system; nevertheless, it was abhorrent and evil.

And "in the context of" is seen to be an unreliable guide to moral decisions and actions.
