Re: Dear God,
...or Purgatory (if that's still a thing)
Yes it is a thing, and very real for that matter. I used to live there. It is otherwise known as Belgium*.
* Of course, Belgium isn't that bad at all. In fact, it can be a rather nice and pleasant place. That it turned out to be my personal purgatory has mainly to do with the fact that it is the origin of ex-Ms Evil Auditor.
