Oh Havoc, I just thought of another reason the devil might like this purgatory sham....it diminishes the seriousness of sin by implying that sin A is real bad and will need a lot of purging, but sin B isn't really so bad, so the punishment for it will be relatively mild.

Essentially, you have it. Catholicism turns Sin into a graded system of nearly harmless to mortal. God doesn't rate sin like that. Sin is sin. Doesn't matter if it's a white lie or a murder both are equally disobedience and both will damn a person to hell. Purgatory pulls the teeth of the bumble in the eyes of the unknowing - they can't see the bumble just put blackout on his teeth after sharpening them...

The sad thing is that they all know better. They all have Bibles with at least part of the truth. And It's not like God won't lead them, they just will not listen or follow.

This has to win Sentence of the Month. I defy anyone here to tell me what this means.
