"And you with the long hair. Turn to God or the fires and brimstone of hell will... Oh. Well, they aren't here anymore, but surely they would have had hellfire and brimstone called on them. They'll be sorry... someday...eventually... And in the meantime, those same fires will thoroughly obliterate the blade of grass where they were standing..."
