Poll question: Which 'circle of Hell' will Bush be in, when he dies?
Given the appaling nature of his crimes against humanity, when Bush 43 dies, in which Circle of Hell will he find himself?

1. Well... According to Dante
Betrayers were encased in ice on the 9th level

7. Weren't there four parts of the 9th circle?
For:

Those who betrayed kin
Those who betrayed country
Those who betrayed God
Those who betrayed benefactors

Judas, Brutus and Cassius, I think, were here being munched on by Satan, the ultimate betrayer for Dante.

Sorry, had to get some use out of all that grad school :D

5. Decisions, decisions...
...so many 'tasty' choices...to which does the Shrub truly belong?

7th circle: The Violent. Introduced by the Minotaur, this circle is divided into three rings:

1) Violent Against their Neighbors (tyrants and murderers). These souls are plunged into a river of boiling blood: the river Phlegethon. They are watched over by the Centaurs.

8th circle: Fraud. It is called Malebolge because it is divided into ten bolge (ditches).

6) Hypocrites. These souls, mostly monks of the Jovial order, walk slowly, clothed in heavy caps of lead. Dante talks to two of them from Bologna.

7) Thieves. These souls keep changing into snakes. Dante recognizes (among others) Vanni Fucci, who predicts the defeat of Dante's party, the Whites, and his exile from the city.

8) Fraudulent Counselors. These souls slide away in the ditch as flames. First Virgil talks to Ulysses, the Homeric hero, then Dante talks to Guido da Montefeltro, a turned saint sneaky character.

9) Sowers of Discord and Schism. These souls are physically torn apart. Dante talks to a few, among them Bertram de Bornio, who holds his severed head like a lamp as he walks along.


9th circle: Treachery. It is divided into four sections. The sinners are in a frozen lake, Cocytus. This circle is surrounded by the Giants. One of them, Antaeus, takes Dante and Virgil and puts them down into the ice.

2) Antenora: Traitors to Homeland. Dante sees one who keeps biting on another's head. He is Count Ugolino who is gnawing the Archbishop Ruggeri's head. He tells Dante the account of his death.

The ice of the 9th circled is kept frozen by Lucifer's six flapping wings. Lucifer has three faces, with three mouths, each chewing on a sinner: Judas is in the middle mouth with his head inside, Brutus and Cassius are in the side mouths, with their heads hanging out.

Maybe we could get him consigned to one with visiting 'privileges' on the others? :evilgrin:

9. Isn't the fifth circle
for simonists? People who join the church for personal gain, if you substitute "exploit religion" for "join the Church" It's starting to look a lot like Bush.....
