This is why we should not judge each other, because Satan do take over people's minds , he is the god of this world ( I said Satan* one who separate for no reason at all, not the devil* one who puts himself in between two to separate them fom Jesus Christ/God. Jesus Christ died for our sins on the cross ( our human faults) but to me the day of judgement will be based on knowingly, and willfully doing evil against the truth having a choice to do evil spiritually? This man might have been under the influence of a evil spirit, even he don't understand/can't believe that happened.

REVELATION 21:8 “But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and *murderers* , and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and *all liars* , shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death.” King James Version (KJV)
