Under the Rules of Catholicism, the Vast Majority of People Are Going to Hell

And it would probably surprise you how non-serious something can be and still be a mortal sin.

For example, missing Mass on Sunday is a mortal sin.

And masturbating is a mortal sin.

So really, who hasn't done either?

I'll skip over the part where I say I've never missed a Sunday Mass in my life - I've just never been to one - and get right to the meat.

If even innocuous things such as self-pleasuring and not attending esoteric religious rituals is enough to damn a person to eternal post-mortem torture (or whatever definition of hell is being invoked here), then what is to stop me from rushing out raping and killing at random? After all, all these 'sins' are treated as equal so if I'm to be hanged for a sheep as a lamb, so where's the deterrent to do wrong?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
