The last sentence, while complex, is, indeed a sentence, although I admit the ending is a bit confusing, as it parodies the Gloria Patri prayer:

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost/Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

My original sentence was:

"Further, the reason that the first person to use it should, if there was a just God in the universe, rot in Hell for all eternity, world without end, amen."

My use of the word "was" is probably questionable, but I would contend that the existence of God at the present time is independent as to whether or not there is a Hell in the present time, Hell being contingent only on whether God ever existed.
