Fixed that for you.

Meh there is some stuff that I don't agree with in Catholic Doctrine, and the whole pope thing. But I just believe Jesus is the important part.

Yea there is repentance involved lets leave it to the different school of thought category.
Catholics are mostly baptized as babies. Do you think an adult catholic without water baptism can go to heaven?

Yes, that's true. It's really pathetic when Christians cry "tu quoque" over horror stories then try to claim Jesus changed their lives.
According to the bible, Jesus is the head and the church is the body. I can't punch somebody in the nose and tell the court not to judge my head by what my fists do. Besides that was my left fist. My right fist is nothing like that.
The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

We are the envoys/diplomats of Heaven That's right, and another reason why I want to wright this book because Christians have failed at this task. And yes we do believe that Jesus took responsibility for these actions at the Cross.

Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

If it's only for those entities, then why mention the place to us, humans?
What do we care about it?
Because humans sin. God can't have sin in heaven so He had to find the legal loophole. That was Jesus's sacrifice. All it takes is (I believe not speaking for my Catholic counterpart) Repentance of your sin, Trust in Jesus, and Acceptance that your sin is forgiven. But come on, you're dragging me off topic again. And I don't want to preach to you guys.
