My friends on the right send me a constant stream of emails demonizing Hillary Clinton. Some say they would vote for Satan before they would vote for Hillary. That’s a bold statement. It makes me think: Really? Satan?
According to Christian belief, Satan wants to take our souls to Hell and let us burn there forever. I ask you, can Hillary do worse than that? I file this constant drubbing of Hillary in the Anybody But Hillary folder, which is a subfolder of the Anybody But folder.
Who else is in the Anybody But folder? Cable news channel CNN ran this headline recently: RNC delegates launch 'Anybody but Trump' drive. CNN isn’t alone in reporting these Republican anti-Trump movements. There is a lot of chatter on the internet that can be put into the Anybody But Trump folder.
So some voters say they would vote for Satan before Hillary, and some say they would vote for Satan before Trump. This makes me think that Satan isn’t getting the respect he warrants. Not worship, not devotion, not allegiance, but respect. Anything that can torture us until the end of time warrants our respect, lest we underestimate its power.
Voters are free to dislike a candidate for any number of reasons. However, to compare a presidential candidate with ultimate evil goes beyond the pale.
You know who really belongs in the Anybody But folder? Satan. Literally, anybody would be far preferable.
