When it is too hot, even the shade of a spade is desirable. Imagine the intensity of heat then! Hell and Earth are now on par in the matter of heat....! Life is becoming miserable!

You can say that again. Hmmm...I wonder if global warming means hell is hotter??? (chuckling) Rico, you really bring me such joy! A "sanctioned" priest, eh? I wonder what he did to get himself sanctioned?

This century has sent millions of evil-doers straight to Hell, and as they reportedly can never leave, it is reasonable to assume Hell must be getting hotter, so imagine what it will be like when Putin, Trump, Rocket Man et al get there! As for the priest, lick Eddie's split should be cause enough? Thank you for reading and commenting! Aloha!
