Small Attributions, Great Harm

     There’s this scene in hell:
     Two sinners arrived. One was a murderer, the other, a writer of erotic novels and many pornographic books.
     Satan pronounced two different dooms, to each of these men. “Intense and swift fire for the murderer,” he commands to his underlings. “And slow and unconsumed fire for all eternity for the morbid writer.” He ordered with a grin.
     Trembling, the writer asks Satan, “why this discrimination? I have not robbed, I have not harrased, I have not killed nobody, and you punish me worst than that vile murderous beast?”
     “You wretch!” Satan reply with sheer hatred that can be seen in his red and dire eyes, “how come you dare to protest? The sins of this murderer, are nothing in comparison with all the ones you have; he just killed six people. But you instead, since you wrote all your banal, and pornographic books and magazines, thousands of men and thousands of women had become indecent, and thieves, murderers, degenerated, drug addicts and atheists,” then with a grimace he continued. “And many others are falling, and will follow straying and damning till the end of the world.” Satan proclaimed, and a guffaw of terror filled the underworld. 
     “But… but is not f...fa…fair” The writer couldn’t say more, he was frozen. Frustated remembering all what he did, and all the pleasure he got, and all the money he received for doing it. Now he couldn’t use it to save himself, he was helpless and a chill scoured his body that felt worse than brimstone.
     “Bu, bu, but. You whiner scumbag!” said the evil one. “I have a plan to damn humanity you know, I don’t have time to chitchat with a damned repugnant human being. Throw him to the fire pit!” He ordered at last with a horrendous cry.
     The poor disgraced soul youled and striven, when two demons lunged him, lifting the writer with their spears to take him to spend all eternity in desperation and agony.
     Satan was pleased. For more and more men and women entered in his reign. There was elation in hell. The devil reunited all his dark angels and said to them: “Go my friends. Go to the world, and don’t be satisfied with misfits, we need to spread evil and infect it to each and everyone of those humans of God. From now on our weapons will be the mass media: press, radio, television and internet, movies and all types of public consumption products.” He finished with coleric proud, and all the minions rejoiced at Satan’s ill speech.
     All the lost souls will arrive into the furnace of fire, where there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.
  ‘I will give to every one of you according to your works.‘ (Apocalypse, Chapter 2, Verse 23)
