Montenegro church depicts Tito, Marx and Engels in hell

The fresco painter remains anonymous.
Visitors to the church were divided over whether the fresco should remain.
"The Church should not interfere in the secular world and determine who deserves a place in hell or heaven,"
But another visitor, named only as Milos, said communism had caused "so much evil".
"Many people were killed in the name of the ideology promoted by Marx, Engels and their followers," he said.

Looking at them... they don't seem all the worse for it.

Bwaahahaha. Since when? Other than a few liberal churches, it seems to be they LOVE passing judgment.

Also, WTF is going on with that other thing? Is it eating them or puking them back into Hell?

They look like religious leaders maybe of a rival Christian church that believes in the same god but they are passing judgment on to the other for not being in their church. And the other church has the same picture of hell with the religious figures switched. It's like, "nah nah we put you in hell!". The other one says, "No, no you didn't, we put YOU in hell." Did not, did too, did not, did too......

And the new Reformed Church of the Fish Mouth is born.

They were drowned in the lake of fire, so no portraits of them in hell like the others.
