Where does story end?

Once upon a time there lived a “Teeny Weeny Man,” who was born in Satan’s dung pile of greed (Pope Francis’s definition of greed). He grew up learning how to keep building his own dung pile by scamming others. He would change wives whenever they became ugly in his eyes and liked to call women who weren’t a perfect 10 “pigs.” He would boast of grabbing women’s genitals with pride.

He believes that violence and torture is the only way to solve problems in the world. He loved blaming others for everything that was wrong in the kingdom (his primary modus operandi). Among his favorite targets were people of different races, religions, ethnic backgrounds, disabled and “nasty” women. He also mocked families of veterans killed in war. His choice of companions to rule his kingdom have like minded values as his.

Where does this story end? A frightening thought.
