Yeah, and I ask the same from an atheist perspective. Although, I wouldn't refer to it as ignorance on my part, quite the opposite. But still, essentially the question is the same.
As for the rest...

I honestly couldn't give a flying fuck.
I really am not going down this road. For me, it's a pointless endeavour.
Seen as I don't take the bible as divinely inspired scripture like you do, these theological discussions don't really prove anything to me anyway. All they are to me, are an exercise of interpretation.
So what if protestants want to justify their crazy superstitions with their interpretations. I'm not going to get caught up arguing with it, it's already fucking crazy from my point of view for reasons stated above. So why do I actually care if they disagree with me? I disagree with them on an even deeper basis, that their book is fiction from the start.
Now obviously, I asked you for some verses which supposedly support the idea of purgatory (a concept which would relate to the OP). You've gave me them. I've told you I don't see how they justify the concept. That's really all I have to say.
I made the OP to see if christians could give any other scenarios, or justify the actions their god would take, and from the looks of it, the amount of mental gymnastics that has to be done in order to, just further makes up my mind that it's all total garbage anyway.
Not a problem. You asked, so I answered. Not trying to change your mind, or anything. Just giving my opinion. And please don't get me wrong. I'm no great competitor in the Religion Olympics. I'd never get even a bronze metal for my mental gymnastics!

I'm calling bullshit! on this statement. The OP should have been titled: "How would I know? (but I'm gonna argue against everything, so don't bother answering)"

I have to disagree with you, there. Napoleon showed more than a little patience in hearing my opinion, and gave sincere answers as to why he did not agree.

Oh deary me are you complaining the agenda of the thread was slightly skewed, actually I don't think it was. Are saying Nap should be more willing to give up his view point and follow you? Or are you just throwing a tantrum, if so this girl does it better.

I was enjoying this grilled catfish until you told me how you killed it.

The point is, why would you want to know? (G)od seems pretty dickish, y'know, killing his children every chance he can get in the bible.
