I am not a Catholic because it feels good. God calls us to be loyal not happy. Obedience to his will will lead to eternal salvation and joy in his presence, but in this life such base concerns as pleasure are irrelevant.
Are you sure you will even recognise pleasure if you get it in heaven? Maybe you won't like it, such is the miserable life you lead on earth.
I'll be blunt and this will be my first and last communication with you. From what I've read from you on here so far, you are the sort of Christian that makes me sick to my stomach. Not only do you condemn all but yourself to hell in the afterlife, including Christians of other denominations, but you also condone and promote violence in this life to end the heresy that you see and fear will spread. But the worst part is you do not recognise how selfish that makes you. It all boils down to this: you want eternal joy in heaven and are ready and willing to destroy everyone and everything that stands in your way to get that. I bet you'd happily sacrifice your kin to god as well, just to guarantee your place in heaven? But is it even about the love of god? I doubt it. If god turned the tables and said 'worship and obey me and I will send you to hell' you'd be switching sides before you could blink. That is the behaviour of a psychopath and nothing more. If what you've said on this site is true, and you're not a Poe, then I believe you are a psychopath and want nothing further to do with you. Goodbye!
