But striving to achieve it is the only way to happiness. (October 28, 2023 at 5:29 pm)LinuxGal Wrote:(October 28, 2023 at 4:52 pm)Barry Wrote: You don’t have to pay any attention to God.

Hell isn’t Fire, it’s choosing to deny oneself eternal happiness with God for short term pleasure.

Well, lets go pop open the Catechism of the Catholic Church and see what Holy Mother Church says. 1035 The teaching of the Church affirms the existence of hell and its eternity. Immediately after death the souls of those who die in a state of mortal sin descend into hell, where they suffer the punishments of hell, "eternal fire."

What good christers like @Barry always neglect to mention is that regardless of whether going to hell is a choice, hell (allegedly) being a place of eternal torment was a choice made by their allegedly loving, benevolent gawd. Anything/anyone who would use infinite (torture) punishment for a finite transgression is nothing/no one worthy of worship, even if it did exist.

Not to worry - I’m here to help: The Catholic Church practiced, condoned, and covered up the sexual abuse of children. In furtherance of this, they broke - institutionally - at least three commandments, dozens of other biblical structures, and who knows how many Church rules. It’s no good putting the blame on a few rogue priests, since the Church hierarchy was involved in the scandal root and branch. And yet you have the bollocks to call this organization of kiddie fuckers ‘the one true church’, which I was taught in catechism class and Sunday school, means the Church was ‘ordained by God and sustained by the Holy Spirit’. And yet you also claimed that the Church is for the good of mankind. This naturally leads to the question, ‘Why would God create an instrument of salvation that brutalizes children?’. Laughable. Boru

I love it when the christers who visit here know less about their own religions than those who have none. ![[Image: Applause.gif]](https://i.ibb.co/37y267Q/Applause.gif){kind=small}

What's the problem? There are tons of people I'm separated from. Some on purpose. If we don't want to date your boyfriend that's cool, right? H's not going to get weird or anything, is he?
