Donald Trump just flung this insane rant at Pope Francis — and maybe just lost the presidency

[Peace Patriot]

12. Trump wants U.S. torture to go beyond waterboarding. "I am proud to be a Christian."

How about crucifixion? Crown of thorns? Breaking the kneecaps? Would that make him proud enough?

What would Jesus say? 'Turn those screws, Don! Tighter...tighter! Now go for the genitals. Twist 'em like this. Now put this wire to 'em. Hey I like this modern world--such interesting new ways to make people worship me!'

We seem to have politicians speaking directly from Satan's 9th Circle.




-----------------------------------------

In Dante’s Inferno, Satan is portrayed as a giant demon, frozen mid-breast in ice at the center of Hell. Satan has three faces and a pair of bat-like wings affixed under each chin. As Satan beats his wings, he creates a cold wind which continues to freeze the ice surrounding him, and the other sinners in the Ninth Circle. The winds he creates are felt throughout the other circles of Hell. Each of his three mouths chews on Judas, Brutus, and Cassius. Scholars consider Satan to be “a once splendid being (indeed the most perfect of God’s creatures) from whom all personality has now drained away.” [1] Satan, also known as Lucifer, was formerly the Angel of Light and once tried to usurp the power of God. As punishment, God banishes Satan out of Heaven to an eternity in Hell as the ultimate sinner. Dante illustrates a less powerful Satan than most standard depictions; he is slobbering, wordless, and receives the same punishments in Hell as the rest of the sinners. In the text, Dante vividly illustrates Satan’s grotesque physical attributes.
