It may be important to note that I see no Biblical reference for this...The place or condition in which the souls of the just are purified after death and before they can enter heaven. They may be purified of the guilt of their venial sins, as in this life, by an act of contrition deriving from charity and performed with the help of grace. This sorrow does not, however, affect the punishment for sins, because in the next world there is no longer any possibility of merit. The souls are certainly purified by atoning for the temporal punishments due to sin by their willing acceptance of suffering imposed by God. The sufferings in purgatory are not the same for all, but proportioned to each person's degree of sinfulness. Moreover, these sufferings can be lessened in duration and intensity through the prayers and good works of the faithful on earth. Nor are the pains incompatible with great peace and joy, since the poor souls deeply love God and are sure they will reach heaven. As members of the Church Suffering, the souls in purgatory can intercede for the persons on earth, who are therefore encouraged to invoke their aid. Purgatory will not continue after the general judgment, but its duration for any particular souls continues until it is free from all guilt and punishment. Immediately on purification the soul is assumed into heaven. (Etym. Latin purgatio, cleansing, purifying.)

Re: Am I going to Hell?
No Hell doesn't exist. It's just a threat that religion made up to support itself. God is all knowing, all powerful, but he needs donations. All the time. Therefore, he made up hell to get people scared enough to try to buy their way out of it.

Think of war BBS - are there not just wars, not just causes for killing others?

Nice scapegoatism. I suspect most people think its OK to kill someone trying to kill you/your family/friends, etc.BigBallinStalin wrote:Sure, if you can justify that your God told you to do so, then it works out fine for those destroy people and their wealth.Victor Sullivan wrote:

The trick is whether you limit that to just immediate threats or you perceive some other "extended" issues to be a true threat. Some people consider anything from refusal to allow someone to practice their religion to requirin gyou to accept rules you dislike to percieved threats to your ability to earn a living to be "true threats" just as much as someone holding a knife against their throats.

Some people are also retarded. Just throwing that out there, letting the wind take it wherever it blows, and it pretty much blows everwhere there are people.

I don't necessarily believe that hell exists. If it does then we're all experiencing it right now.
