One sentence that throws the problem of evil out of the window.

@Contrition
Which is an amusing bit of fine print, since perfect contrition requires absolute hatred of sin...but ofc "sin" is defined by the RCC...so, they're unlikely to perfectly hate all the "sinful" shit the RCC describes as such......what with not being catholic and all.

I, personally, think that the unofficial (but officially entertained) idea of "vicarious baptism by desire" - in which those who..by the rules, should go to hell, might not...provided that the parents really -wanted- to have their little darling baptized...is an even neater trick.  Apparently, there's nothing worth doing that can't be done by someone else on your behalf.  

Then, ofc, there's the caveat that salvation only comes through christ, is limited to christ...but christ is not limited to that act in bestowing grace.  He can save any sinner he wants to.  

Makes you wonder why they came up with rules in the first place, what with there being a loophole for every single one of them.  It;s almost as if people with functioning brain cells have been shooting holes in the story since the first priest peddled it.

Khemikal, you think too much through your caprice. Start thinking to get enlightened instead thinking just to be shutting down enlightenment when presented with it and everything will become easy.

I know everyone will hate me for saying this, but, sometimes the one who compliments you doesn't care about you, and the one insults you does so because he says greatness in you and knows you are more than what you have become.
