Nah, I think it would disturb him to some degree or other. But that's the beauty of his possition, he just orders other people to face the atrocities he creates.

And really, he's not "Satanic" at all, just Christian. It doesn't matter if you're a Satanist, Christian, Buddhist, or Hindu, attrocities will always be commited as people justify them in their mind with faith.



I really do trust the guy less every day. More and more I'm seeing him caught up in his own lies.



Well, then you'd have Dick Cheney as president, and if you killed him I believe Condoleeza Rice is next




LOL, you've been paying too much attention to the Sith! I think evil seldom thinks they're evil, but are commiting evil acts for the "greater good" so to speak. When you get evil in possitions of power, they know how to play the game and form a tight-knit group of mutually beneficial support.



Meh, don't hold your breath. Evil constantly contributes to the decay of society and the human mind, and yes even destroys itself, but never faster than it can be created.

I know we all tend to take it for granted, but Democracy truly is one of the greatest things ever invented to keep the greedy and tyranical in check. It may not have taken form as the original vision of the founding fathers in America, and it may even decay with every liberty withheld in the name of "protection", but when it comes right down to it I'm thankful not to live in a despotic nation where I could be killed for imprisoned for having the wrong beliefs.
Not to mention the fact that government is accountable to the voters for providing decent living conditions. If only the voters would all put personal liberty, and living conditions, before government interest fueled by scare tactics.
True evil people are not stupid in any kind of analytical sense...with the exception of GW Bush. :jointsmile: They can speak, poop, and kill but they are just ignorant and spiritually absent.

And yes...people who openly do evil...never think or admit that they are doing "evil". To them..."evil" is just their own made up way of controlling in which they feel necessary to execute and impose on others.

But I said...inevitably, evil causes its own downfall from within so that is OUR power and we use it to our advantage.

In other words.....life always has a way of balancing itself out. I really shouldn't say "evil" either...as we are all Light. It should be more properly called "out of balance".

I have also come to the horrifying fact that throughout history, democracy only looks good on paper.
