I REALLY REALLY REALLY hope there's a hell.
Advertisements [?]
In Dante's Inferno, the deepest circle of hell is reserved for betrayers of kin, country, guests, and benefactors. Count Ugolino of Pisa, who led a politically controversial life, finds himself in the 9th circle of hell surrounded by betrayers of country and party. It can be assumed that Ugolino’s tyrannical behavior and constant betrayal of the people of Pisa in life has earned him this distinction in the afterlife.

Now I know these grifting soothsayers don't really give a rat'sass about heaven and hell, god, or any saviour at all. But I sure would like to think these notions make them squirm as the end of mortality nears for them.

They have profited wildly off the suffering and deaths of hundreds of thousands in their orgy of power and greed. They are sub-animal to me now. I have learned to hate them, not just what they do, but them. I now have a group that I see deserves no compassion.
