And when you answer this how did you determine that the bible says this is so. Purgatory... where does this idea now stand with all the Christian faiths? Study just the bible, which version, which childrens bibles are more to the real stuff? Who wrote the interpretation of the " best childrens bibles" and how did they come to believe what they were writing was the truth? Were they guided by God in their writings, or did they reason based on what they had read and gave their best honest interpretation?

I got tons more.

That's exactly why I think it is more important to be a good person than to believe in a higher power...There are jungle cultures right now who have no clue about Jesus or organized religion....Obviously they get a pass right? So how will a "higher power" judge them....Well I would bet that it is based on the totality of their life----if and its an if there is an afterlife.
