Purgatory is a good demonstration of the strange logic of the church. If people go to either heaven or hell when they die, with no remission, then there is no value in praying for them after their death.
Since the church insists that prayer is effective, it follows that there must be somewhere that is neither heaven nor hell, the leaving of which depends on the prayers of the living. That place is purgatory. The more people pray for you, the sooner you get out and go to heaven. As luck would have it, you can give the church lots of money and they will have people pray specially for you, which is rather handy. -- Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of Shel Belinkoff > Sent: 03 January 2007 16:39 > To: Pentax-Discuss Mail List > Subject: Re: OT: Occupations? > > I thought hell and purgatory were one and the same.
