Interesting... what shall we say about the Orthodox?
The joke goes like this:
A sinner dies and goes to hell. The devil greets his there and says, "I will show you around."
"This," - the devil says, "is our first circle - it's for Catholics who ate meat on Friday.
"And this is our second, harsher, circle - for Presbyterians who laughed and told jokes.
"And this is a yet deeper and grimmer circle, for Baptists who danced and drank wine.
"And now the deepest and the darkest one: for Episcopalians who used a wrong fork during a formal dinner."

This reminded me of a joke we have in Greece. -Why is Hades black? -Because it's full of priests. No offence, fathers.  |
