Depends on your interpretation, but they'll go to hell, be stuck in purgatory, or find it extremely difficult to get into heaven...though maybe not impossible? Either way, it's not looking good for them compared to your average joe. Whether there's a special place in hell for them depends on the importance you give to theologians and visionaries, as while there are some references to specific tortures, for the most part hell is just hell in the bible; totally unlike Dante's inferno, for instance. But I'm all for expanding Christianity to think of people like Dante as prophets, in which case they'll be drowning in boiling pitch, or something like that iirc.


To be fair to politicians giving the working class in America the middle finger, they kinda rolled over and welcomed the middle finger themselves. Not unlike how many black communities themselves campaigned for more violent policing. But I dunno, maybe it's more expedient than facing the level of violence with which America has historically suppressed labour movements, and police brutality is certainly not as bad as when the KKK served the same role.

I've been rereading some of this thread and can say that of these last 4 years, the clear high point in Trump's presidency has been #RakeAmericaGreatAgain.  Still cracks me up everytime I read it.  LOL

I too will be voting. At the risk of sounding beaten down, my main goal is just to go back to a time when I didn't know what the president was doing every single day because He's always tweeting, and he doesn't feel the need to make headlines.

I'd say we're more kind of in the middle of the bowel movement.

Last night's "debate"! LOL

I always vote. Thankfully, Colorado has had mail in voting for years now.

I watched some of that “debate” last night and my god was that ever a circus, and Trump was the lead clown. LOL

They should put each in soundprooth booths and cut the mic when they talk over each other.

I don't know, it's kinda lacking in the relief and satisfaction of a bowel movement...

Hopefully your votes don't get dumped in a river. frown

Either he gets sick and has to admit it's all pretty terrible, or he doesn't get sick and 'proves' it's all hokum.

If Biden doesn't get it too this virus is really revealing its liberal bias.

The event at the White House a few days ago has become a super spreader.  I think eleven people have it now.

It's probably even higher than that. I suspect there's some low-level staffers who have contracted it that aren't allowed to talk about it.

Whatever the case, I can't help but feel sorry for the guy when I read about his current situation.  From where I'm standing it seems as if he's pretty ill.  It's not something I would wish upon someone and I hope he makes a swift recovery.
